At this point I'd either call an exterminator or set the house on fire or both. This is nuts! 🕷🔥

To add to what Chris said, I wanted to answer your individual questions one by one, since they're fantastic questions that deserve direct answers. > Will you take up the familiar mantra, “Cake is just a platform”? No, absolutely not. We've …

I also think it sounds delicious! Seriously doubt I'll be able to find any in Oregon though. 😞

Definitely agree. Thanks for the suggestion! There are some technical reasons why this is a little challenging right now, but it's something I really want to implement.

As Vilen said, the reason we’re only working on an iOS app right now is because we have limited engineering resources. We’re a very small team and an app like Cake takes a lot of work to do well, so we’re choosing to focus on one platform at a …

Thanks! We’ll make this better.

Wow! From the article: > SmugMug CEO Don MacAskill told USA TODAY he's committed to breathing new life into the faded social networking pioneer, which hosted photos and lively interactions long before it became trendy. > > SmugMug, an independent, …

Yep, though mostly just to keep up with my family, who use it almost exclusively. I use Facebook open source software more than I use the website itself. Cake uses React, which is a Facebook open source project.

I linked to multiple articles. The followup articles pointed out that the problem continues to exist despite Facebook's assurances they would address it.

I think there are two aspects to Facebook's morality that should be considered. First is the question of whether Facebook itself intentionally engages in immoral behavior. An example of this would be intentionally misleading users into opting into …

Intentionally allowing racial and religious discrimination in ad targeting is pretty immoral if you ask me, and Facebook has a long history of this, among other questionable behaviors.

I completely forgot about The Graduate! One of my all-time favorites. Great call.

This is something I've thought about a lot in the context of Facebook and other companies like Uber, and in my own life. > Why someone would  leave a good job without any solid prospects boggles my mine but that’s for another cake post. I left my …

Yikes! It sucks that you lost your database. 😣 I actually used the exact same system you described — labeled bins with contents tracked in a database — to organize a bunch of junk in my basement. I used Airtable for the database and it’s working …

It's true! Landline phones on copper POTS (plain old telephone service) lines often still work when the power is out because those lines carry their own low-voltage power. Sadly, phone companies are ripping out copper phone lines like crazy and …

If I ever buy a boat, it'll be this beauty.

So many great movies have been set in San Francisco! But if I had to pick my top three, I think it'd be: - The Conversation (1974) - Zodiac (2007) - Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)

Also one of the first women ever to fly F/A-18s in the Navy, which...even when things don't go wrong, that takes nerves of steel. I was surprised to read in the Washington Post that she grew up near Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico: > …

All of the foods I love most are red. 😞

I'm not a tick expert and it's hard to tell from the photo (can you get a better one?), but those might be Rocky Mountain wood ticks or American dog ticks. Both can transmit Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tularemia, neither of which is something …

Welcome to Cake! I'd be happy to take that Model 3 invite off your hands if you're not gonna use it. 😉 Still waiting impatiently for mine!

This actually reminded me of a very relevant book I read long, long ago: Star Trek Movie Memories by William Shatner and Chris Kreski. It's a detailed look behind the scenes of the pre-production, production, and post-production on the first seven …

I find it interesting too, but also — as a movie lover — immensely frustrating, because I want to see great movies, and battles like these prevent me from seeing great movies. 😢

In 2015 Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller delivered a movie that was a massive success with both critics and moviegoers. It won six Oscars and was nominated for four more, including Best Picture and Best Director. Miller has scripts for …
