AI - amplified "if"s


That was exactly my first thought!


Is there a similar tool for windows?


Apologies for the lack of Windows support! I unfortunately don't have a Windows machine, but all that's necessary to add support is to implement this simple Go interface: https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/sourcegraph/thyme/-/blob/.... I'd gladly trade a drink for a pull request (or a free t-shirt if you're not in San Francisco)!


Glider pilot here. The website looks awesome! Thank you for it! If you guys could add winds at higher levels, it would really be useful for all kinds of sky sailors as well.


I noticed the following sentence in Balmer's email to employees (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/press/2014/feb14/02-04ma...):

I love the breadth and the diversity of all of the customers we empower, from students in the classroom to consumers to small businesses to governments to the largest enterprises.

It's interesting to see the governments standing between small businesses and large enterprises in the minds of such men.


Even for governments that are bigger than large private industries in scale, they often make IT purchasing decisions at a lower level of the organization which makes the effective scale as a purchasing entity smaller; so, there may well be a sensible business reason for this ordering.


Also, a discussion on the SpiceWorks community: http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/433777-alternative-to-...


This looks to be the home page only. Video pages are working.



To me this is really weird. If a neighbor knocks on your door to tell you that you forgot the keys in the keyhole outside you thank him, you don't call the police...


This is a bit different and would be like the neighbor opening the door and waking into your bedroom to tell you.


No, the kid didn't log into the website and make some postings to their internal communication systems (forums, email listings, etc). He attempted to contact them through official channels but was ignored.

After that, he went to the local news agency. This is totally different.


OK, so he went into your room, you weren't there, and he came back to knock on the door to let you know he went to your room to find you. It's close enough.

Edit: I just want to clarify that I don't think the kid should be prosecuted, but I also don't like the fact that he went as far as to check for sensitive information inside of their system.


It would be like a passerby finding your door continuously wide open, stepping into your foyer and shouting to let you know, you weren't there or didn't respond, so he told your neighbor to tell you. Then you call the police because of trespassing.


I think this is one of those situations where the analogy just doesn't work, but well done for trying!


I think it has to do with intentions. Not trying to literally map online site to a house. But in general, when a person has found a vulnerability and is trying to report it in a good will (no matter through what channel), as opposed to using it to try and blackmail, etc., things should not be reversed and used against that person.


Disagree.


Moscow probably had a couple if I can recall...
