Really useful! Is there a way to set multiple HTTP codes as safe?


No not in this version. When would that occur?


I'm guessing they want to monitor API endpoints where you can monitor if the service is reachable but it still may not return 200 (ex. if it's not authenticated).


This kind of announcement needed to include "and today we're announcing native apps across all platforms". Honestly, the Slack app has become worse (not better) over time.


This is just so sad. I've used, paid for, and loved Dropbox for years and years. It is really worrying that anyone in the company felt it was OK to launch this rebrand.

Man, I love Maciej's way with words.


I loved that line as well.

I always hate the language used in blogs posts like this. Not saying I could write something much better... just painful to read the sugar-coated bad news.

South African here. We barely have broadband internet, yet we have chip-based credit cards.


You also didn't have a decades-old existing infrastructure the size of that in the US.


you don't even require a connection, you can do an offline transaction, and it's still safer than a magnetic stripe, because duplicating a chip quickly is very hard.

Calling the bank to get an authorization is just an optional step in the process.


Technically it's possible for some cards to mandate online authorization (ie 'phoning' the bank).


oh, yeah true, Visa Electron and friends.


Most chip-and-PIN card readers run on GPRS, at least at restaurants anyway.


Absolutely fantastic.


A wasted opportunity to properly interview a great man. There are a few people that you interview with reverence: Woz is one of them.


Personally, I think 'reverence' makes interviews worse, not better.
