Re: Elektron is the latest firm to be acquired by private investment capital

I have as much interest in your thoughts on Elektron’s cap table as I do Bloomberg’s thoughts on whether the Tonverk needs a slice machine.

Elektron’s been innovating as well as the ever have been. Maybe their new PE management hams that. Maybe not. I’d rather critique the present than worry about the future.

Those results refer to "hosted wallets" disasters. If you manage your own wallet, which is easy enough to do with native apps like Mycelium and Breadwallet, there is technically no way a third party could restrict your ability to control your own balances.

Re: Deflation

I think about a deflationary (or what the Fed has taken to calling "counter-inflationary") macro-economic scenario constantly. Even though I have relatively little personal wealth to protect. In an advanced deflationary environment, the Fed's further adjustment of interest rates and / or the money supply might not be able to turn the boat around. For those of us with 5 and 6 figure net assets, USD becomes an attractive investment vehicle. Prices may deflate but debt is debt and cash is the only real cure.

I'm not clear on what you mean by, "...you may want to avoid the PubSubHubbub API... You want to receive a notification each time Superfeedr fetches and parses a feed for you."

Aren't the notifications still being sent when Superfeedr fetches a feed?

Re: Social Blogging

37% of all blogs are Japanese, compared to a mere 28% written in English. And forty percent of Japanese blogging is done from mobile phones.

From a recent Washington Post article, "Bloggers here [Japan] shy away from politics and barbed language. They rarely trumpet their expertise. While Americans blog to stand out, the Japanese do it to fit in, blogging about small stuff: cats and flowers, bicycles and breakfast, gadgets and TV stars. Compared with Americans, they write at less length, they write anonymously, and they write a whole lot more often."
