In a similar vein there’s a story and YouTube video of Russians plugging an out of control burning oil well with a small nuke.

Edit. It was a gas well here’s the link https://youtu.be/S57Xq03njsc


There should be an extension that automatically redirects common websites to their lite versions.

reddit.com -> old.reddit.com

facebook.com -> mbasic.facebook.com

cnn.com -> lite.cnn.com

npr.org -> text.npr.org

twitter.com -> twitter.com (with JS disabled)

gmail.com -> gmail.com (HTML version)


Getting things in the mail is turning into a treat for younger generations. I can think of a few:

- Automated postcards generated from your Facebook timeline or Flickr feed when you're traveling

- Simple/inexpensive invitations for parties, reunions, save the dates, etc. Hook it up to Facebook, too.

- Information distribution to parents of school children (how to register for online report cards, absentee reports, etc).

- Targeted political messaging (although there are already companies that do this)


I'm reading Pieter Hintjens "Social Architecture" at the moment, and there he warns exactly about what just happened to Elasticsearch.

Learnetto | Senior Developers | Remote | Part Time

Learnetto is an online education site (https://learnetto.com). It's a solo bootstrapped business, steadily growing with a few thousand developers learning programming skills through tutorials and courses.

I'm working on a new service to offer 1-on-1 coaching and mentoring to junior and mid level developers.

So I'm looking for multiple senior developers who have expertise and confidence in teaching Ruby, Rails, Javascript, Node, Express, Python, Django, React, Vue, Angular, SQL, Devops, AWS and other technologies.

If you have any experience teaching online through blog posts, tutorials, courses or books, you might be the right type of person I'm looking for.

If you don't have experience teaching yet, but do have tech expertise and are interested in getting into teaching, then I'm also interested in hearing from you.

I'm looking to pay anywhere between $100-$200 per hour based on your skills.

This will be highly rewarding work because you will help developers who are starting out in their careers to learn faster and progress quickly.

If you're interested, please fill in this form with your details - https://goo.gl/forms/fFYHV9bzVHyxE5DR2

If you have any questions, email me at hrishi@learnetto.com

If you're a junior developer looking to improve your skills, feel free to email me.
