The guy that wrote the blog post (founder of twitpic) just tries it with another startup: pingly.
As it seems its not a replacement for email, but a new web interface, like gmail.

You should design an image format in which larger versions can use data from smaller ones. So when you browse the site with a small window, the small version gets downloaded, and when you resize, the larger version gets downloaded, and when you visit with a large browser, both versions get downloaded.
What was the first post you made on the internet?
I can ignore ads on the "new tabs" page. I'm more concerned about the "share" garbage they want to add to the context menu: https://bug1000513.bugzilla.mo...
I've read a bit through the threads and think that the reason it took so long was because they decided to remove a feature to fix the problem:
I believe the current plan is to completely remove the transliteration
module support, as it hasn't worked for 10+ years.
The git commit message states the same. There were really some problems in that function: https://sourceware.org/ml/libc...
I chose the word scepticism, and still I think it is. I agree that the word "unexploitable" was a bit exaggerated, but that was added by unknown lamer.
Florian Weimer said:
My assessment is "not exploitable" because it's a NUL byte written into malloc metadata. But Tavis disagrees. He is usually right. And that's why I'm not really sure.
Its however true that he corrects himself the same day a bit later:

Not necessarily on 32-bit architectures, so I agree with Tavis now, and
we need a CVE.
You can still raid several larger drives. The advantage: you can have full mirroring, and large storage space. I welcome the technological advancement, but still I've only occupied 50% of my 1.5 TB HDD, and I must note that I've copies of the kernel source, and mozilla-central.
We don't know which of them is the closest one, or has an atmosphere that can be terraformed easily. Even if we had FTL travel or at least >
We need telescopes, on and around earth. lots of them. Kepler has only scanned a small region of the sky.
X.org people themselfes admit wayland is better. X.org consists of lots of bloated stuff from the 1980s, where all modern support (OpenGL, you name it) is patched in through "extensions". Network transparency in X is also a big problem, there is the choice between using 1980s APIs and shuffling pixels around. X is broken. Do you see any disadvantages of wayland?
All browser plugins are unmitigated disasters.
... and Linux didn't regard binary compatibility (I actually like that), so that you always need to have the source around?
OK, you convinced me, they didn't waste them in that particular release. But still I'm against too frequent redesigns: they make the life of those harder, who aren't too comfortable with computers and don't use it by understanding the labels, but by memorizing "clickpaths": lower left corner of the screen, third entry, second entry, in the window the icon with the computer screen, and so on.
Unfortunately these people are the majority.
