Here's a modified version of it: https://skitch.com/timothee/fxnjf/the-shapes-of-css Basically, the triangle is made of only the bottom border . The top border is of width 0px so doesn't show. The element itself is 0x0px so doesn't show

The :before and :after add one element of 60px x 60px on each side of the original element. "border: 20px solid red;" and "border-radius: 50px 50px 0 50px;" makes these elements' border round on three sides and square on the bottom right. (

Fair enough. I don't have any evidence either way to be honest, I was mostly explaining why he was mentioned in the post. Though, in any case, one thing you can be sure of is that when he blogs about something, it gets significant attention

To be more verbose than molecule: Gruber is an Apple-focused blogger who gained a lot of influence in the Apple world over time. A lot of people interested in the Apple "world" follow his blog. So, if he were to get this problem and blog

Somebody got me with that exact trick during the Charlie Sheen debacle: I was going back and forth between the Twitter page for @CharlieSheen and @CharIieSheen and couldn't figure out how this was possible… I didn't feel exactly smart when

Not everyone with an Apple ID can log in, only paying developers. I have a free developer account and was able to log in. I don't have a @me.com address so I couldn't check Mail, but the rest worked.

My short 2-second feedback: "we'll email you it back tomorrow" should probably read "we'll email it back to you tomorrow".

To be clear (I don't think I'm putting words in schrototo's mouth), the ROKR was the disaster created jointly by Motorola and Apple. What was special about it? It had a dedicated key to bring up iTunes. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motoro

I advise you to skip the article and read the white paper instead since this article relies heavily on it: http://www.rearden.com/DIDO/DIDO_White_Paper_110727.pdf Can anyone with expertise in the domain chime in on the credibility of th

Well… I don't know. Sure, it's easy to think "look, YC changed the title because it gave a bad light to a YC company!" and that might be part of it. But the truth is that this story only got the spotlight here because it had AirBnB in the s

I would think that people flagging the story is weighing it down. If the talk is good, why would it be flagged? Maybe because the title of the submission is kind of sensationalistic relative to the talk. The talk is about working more on so

To be noted, it sounds like it's a problem with the current Flash version and Lion, rather than Twilio themselves.

As I can't be the only one: CPI is the Consumer Price Index. Basically how much what you pay for something will change over time. (if I understood correctly) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_Price_Index

I'd say that not only bonuses work per quarters but budgets are generally allocated in quarters or semesters as well. Typically, budgets allocated for one period need to be used in that period, otherwise it's "lost" and you don't get as muc

From the author of the poll further down: my NYC salary of $176,000 That explains (to me) a lot the choice of ranges for the poll. $176k seems to be on the high-end worldwide. Overall, because of the buckets and the problem with the wide

Appalled in what sense? That they offer you to little or that engineers there are making way too much? I'd guess the former, but I'd say it could go both ways…

I'm honestly glad to see the reactions here that being bored is not (necessarily) your fault. What I mean is that job ads tend to look for "self-motivated" people and it's easy to conclude that if you're bored, you're just clearly not self-

"an album costs around $10-12 on iTunes and Apple takes 30% of that" Are you sure that 30% cut is true for music as well? I know it is for apps and books (the "new" things in iTMS), but I've never really found the take on music and videos.

It's mentioned through that part: "Airbnb contracted outside sales people to generate leads". This was pretty much the response from the company to the craigslist spamming story. To be honest, while reading that line, I thought it was sligh

Discussed yesterday here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2692985 . Granted the first post was for the same article on Reuters, while this one is on Wired. What's odd though is that: 1. The repost on Wired makes no mention that it's no

I thought the limit was 16 actually. Under 16 is still fine as long as you have adult supervision. (IIRC…)
