I use these occasionally (after ear plugs started causing problems for my ears). They do a pretty good job in my experience at helping me focus even though they do not perfectly cut out some sounds, everything is muffled enough that it&#x27

To be honest I like this type of thing and I would have impulse-bought this on the spot if it weren't for the fact that it's a pre-order, and now I just looked on amazon for a competing product and got it shipped to me prime. I un

I have a hard time getting past this aspect of reality TV. I recently watched a few episodes of "The Profit" which is basically "Kitchen Nightmares" but for businesses, but it just really bothers me how staged it all see

I've always found some sort of sound blocking helps me focus, even in relatively quiet environments. I used earplugs almost 24/7 until it started I started having some issues with my ears and realized that's not really a good

Pretty cool but I wish either that they had integrated with coinbase instead of bitpay, or that bitpay would hurry up and approve or deny my 3 week old application.

Every time datomic is brought up, people always chime in with this whining about it being closed source and I just find it sounds entitled and petty. It makes it seem like with enough people agreeing with you and enough upvotes or whatever,

I've enjoyed using Twilio ( http://www.twilio.com )

This looks really cool and I can't believe it got ZERO responses! Going to read all the docs tomorrow and hopefully try to make it fit in the project I'm working on now.

Ahhhhh this makes me sad because I've had something very close to this idea months ago and have been slowly picking away at it. Great job though.

That video seems to be the exact opposite of a single convincing slide. I watched it and have no idea what SoundCloud is supposed to do. In the context of social media platforms, I would think that sound, for the most part, would be music.

Thanks for all the work! I'm using Noir right now for a few things, and I love it.

Kind of a funny example: During my last few semesters at college I operated a textbook buyback service and experimented with facebook advertising. The one ad I put up that got me a ton of likes and positive feedback was just a small picture

Just my opinion, and you're right that it pretty much doesn't matter, but I don't like "Trello" because we already have "trulia" and "twilio". They just are too similar to me.

I agree. Nobody want's to invest time into learning something called "Perl 5" when there's something already out there called "Perl 6". Yes, some research into it will reveal that they are now on two separate dev paths, but there is still s

Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen something that felt more intentional. No way they handle company secrets by giving a 2 second request to put away cameras before showing off the thing.

I hate to be negative, especially given how coveted CR-48s are/were, but after about a week of getting mine I just had to put Ubuntu on it. Yeah, I spend 70% of my time in the browser, but I just can't give up that other 30% (dev stuff). It

Unacceptable maybe, but what do you expect? No one really knows if there can be legal consequences to running an unregulated commodity exchange, and the operators of mtgox face considerable risk and charge VERY reasonable fees, which still

Wait I'm sorry I'm seriously confused, what what she mad at? A "half-naked American Idol winner"? Why would that make her fume with anger?

I've been waiting forever for a damn extended taskbar for dual monitors. Multimon works OK, but I just don't see how a feature like this can be ignored for so long in a software company where (hopefully) tons of people use dual monitors int

I wonder how much of this disruption can be attributed to the removal of the erotic ads section. You can see a major slowing of momentum around the time they were taken down (May '09). I mean that was an area without any major competition a

Classic. If you care even the slightest bit about programming languages you need to watch this.

His comments on Yahoo Answers' traffic coming from users migrating from Myspace struck me as way off. No one "hangs out" on Yahoo Answers because their tired the lack of anonymity on Myspace. The masses didn't leave Myspace because of any f

The last thing Apple should want to do in these times, where their superiority over competitive devices is growing ever thinner, and there is a growing risk of actual shrinking market share, is force developers to choose between Apple or al

DDG has a laughably small market share. This doesn't necessarily make them a non-threat, but it's going to take more than this to change users' search behavior (ie convert them from Google to DDG) on even a minute level. I mean Google has t

Not only that, but the threat of a non-backwards compatible upgrade being just around the corner is a major point against picking up Perl at this time, and the uncertain release time frame of Perl 6 makes that not exactly an attractive choi

Pretty funny, and interesting that this comes from an Amazon company, Amazon having pioneered the online affiliate industry and finding much success in it. Still, It's a pretty accurate portrayal of the whole affiliate scheme, and I think i

That is a good one. I end up having the thought "damn, a solid implementation of this would really be worth something" when merely skimming half the research papers I come across.
