How is it that the word 'hubris' failed to appear in any of the 177 comments?


Put a counter on it so I have a reminder to complete challenges each day. I like this low-friction making as encouraging an attitudinal shift.


Each day when a new challenge shows up, everyone gets a badge and notification. You'll have the badge on there until you actually open the extension, and when you complete a challenge you get a star on it so you can track any you missed.


Who's going to write 'Privilege 101' for HN?

(makes you do it)


This is one of the best bits of tutorial writing on the internet. It almost never sacrifices correctness for didactic purposes, and when it does, it lets the reader know. I find it astounding that many other tutorials walk the reader through bad practices for the sake of simplifying the explanation.


Neat. Maybe I'll write a script to scrape my Google calendar and automatically send birthday cards. Can see companies using this to send a personal note to their best customers.


I'm not sure why you're being downvoted, but that's a great idea.


I am building this right now actually ;).


I also sent a card to my mom. Next I'm going to send a card to some people who hosted me while I visited Canada. The difference between this and postcards (and postagrams) is that I can remember to use sendwrite.

Feature request: scheduled emails to remind me to send a card to a person. I can simply reply to the email to send the card. I'd definitely send monthly cards to various members of my family, or a long-distance sweetie, or what have you.


Transmedia reification.


If only I had a service that did it the other way around. i.e. snail mail => email. Besides getting rid of the annoyance of having to physically throw away junk mail, I could get spam filtering on so I'd never even see it.

Yeah, it's useful for both checking revisions of a contract and for comparing an initial contract vs a 'standard' template contract to see the initial pressure points.


This is great. And there are obvious paths to export games for mobile devices so this could be the best cross-platform development environment for 2D games.

The hardest and most time consuming part of game development is iteration and livecoding makes that so much easier.


Don't forget 3D thanks to WebGL, which has a native export path to OpenGL ES. Though truth be told we don't have the 3d libs in place yet, but they will be coming.


It's cool that Netflix pulled that off, but it seems like a company (like Dotcloud) that could prevent you from building infrastructure on top of infrastructure would be a boon.
