You would think that MasterCard could charge significantly lower fees on MasterCard transactions since they're, like, MasterCard and all... Clearly, they're not interested in competing based upon price.

A sad announcement, but the writing has been on the wall for a few years now (specifically, since Mozilla officially dropped support for embedding[0]). I'm only surprised they waited this long to make it official. [0] https://groups.google

The whole reason Camino has been discontinued is that the components that make it easy to reuse Gecko in their competing product were removed from Gecko.

"The way to make money off a standard is to sell it's complements" That seems to be how things went. Tantlinger created over 70 patents related to transportation in his lifetime. Sea-Land, his employer, sold containerized shipping services.

To give credit where credit is due, Keith Tantlinger invented the system that allowed locking containers together for stacking and lifting to and from ships. He convinced the company he worked for to relinquish the patent to encourage adopt

Pretty interesting, looks like Google Elevation API misses some tunnels though (looking at a route that should go through Broadway tunnel right now). Tunnels are key for getting the Flattest Route™.

MacPorts also installs the most common packages from precompiled binaries. Fink also has the ability (--use-binary-dist). The main difference here is that the entire pkgsrc universe is available as precompiled binaries, which can save you a

Does MIT even use Scheme for their intro CS courses anymore? Harvey's article makes it sound like they switched to Python when they went from a "curriculum organized around topics" to a "curriculum organized around applications" - it seems

"That's much worse than CFL's which are typically around 90." How did you come up with that typical number? Typically, CFLs meet the minimum energy star requirement which is 82. If you don't believe me, browse through GE's catalog for a whi

Avoid the amalgam CFLs - they get more on/off cycles before they go kaput, but are allowed up to 3 minutes to reach full output and still get an energy star rating. The rest of the energy star rated CFLs are supposed to reach full output wi

Did not know about Google's bonus for covering taxes. So they leave it to the employees to declare whatever they think the value of their holiday gifts were? I wonder if this leaves Google liable for underreported compensation like restaura

"you gross up everyone's pay by say $10k" It's nice to pretend that it as easy as waving your hand and saying everyone got $10k worth of perks, but what about people who didn't? Really, not everyone is eating the corporate food every day. N

You make it sound like everything is so cut and dry. Do you really think every corporate event is a perk? One friend of mine was just bemoaning the beginning of baseball season because he has to spend so much time at games with his bosses (

"How the hell do we measure a police department's effectiveness?" The number of crimes committed in an area is often used. If the number goes down, the police are doing a good job of discouraging crime. This results in in things like absurd

That really is my opinion- I read the entire article, it is quite verbose, does go into some interesting aspects of Google fiber that I didn't know about (like the Google Fiber demo lounge), but reading it was a waste of time because the re

"Cypriot banks finance themselves through deposits, not bonds." The Cypriot banks are going to find all of their deposits withdrawn as soon as they reopen, so they better figure out a new way to finance themselves.

It looks like Sail.js is a pretty good response to that blog post. It doesn't go all the way of his dream framework, but it also isn't just another straight "Sinatra/Django/Rails" clone.

tl;dr: AdBlock Plus “interferes with or accesses another service or product in an unauthorized manner,” which Google says is a violation of section 4.4 of the Developer Distribution Agreement so it has been removed from Google Play.

I wonder if Google has plans to yank AdBlock from the Chrome Web Store also. It must cause some bean counters some serious stress seeing the #1 Chrome extension being completely antithetical to their business.
