How would window management go away in a desktop OS? By having only fullscreen apps à la iOS/Android? I don't see that feasible or desirable. In a small format it works, but on a desktop I very often want to see multiple windows at the same

That's a great point. The perspective is much different between hiring people to do the best job possible in certain areas of your product/company (design, copywriting, accounting, etc.), and getting external advice from peers. You're menti

They sold out in 15 minutes, so the price must be right. Actually, considering it sold out so fast, they should most probably double the price. If they were doing that full-time, that would put the activity in the $8-10M/year range. I imagi

Putting aside one's opinion on Facebook's stance around privacy, I think Facebook is one of the sites with the best measures to insure integrity of the site, at least for a consumer site. A few times, I was warned that someone tried to acce

That's a good point, unfortunately not mentioned in the post. One could assume/hope that this one-time password doesn't give you access to that kind of functions. If anything though, it makes it easier for your friends to log into your acco

As a foreigner, the US credit card and rating system puzzled me a bit. But the most annoying thing about it is that it's difficult not to be part of it. If you have credit cards or not, you will have a credit score and that score will b

My wife's card is a Signature (mine should be too I would think but is not for some reason). I could look into it tomorrow. I'm curious to know what they can really do for you. His examples were mostly finding and compiling information that

As far as I'm concerned, $20k+/month on a side-project definitely qualifies as big, especially 4 month after launch.

Personally, I'm not against Cancel buttons in some cases for the simple reason that I'm not sure the site will work fine with the Back button on multi-page forms that are used for almost all payment transactions. I also tend to use a Cancel

Fair enough. Though I'd argue on "entirely solvable by pencil and paper", since the answer is an educated guess in that case and the proof that it's correct resides in checking with the webpage. ;-) To be honest, in the same amount of time,

It doesn't seem to make it especially easy: you still have the same problem of having to eliminate the multiples of 61, 79, 89, etc. which are not obvious. Yes, you can count, but it looks very time-consuming. The problem still stands that

How do you go about solving #2 on pen and paper? Well, calculating the Fibonacci sequence, ok. The sum of prime divisors of X+1, I guess... though it gets slightly harder for me after dividing by 2, 3 and 5. But how do you know for sure tha

Companies pay Pivotal between $150,000 and $600,000 on average, according to VP Technology and Principal Ian McFarland. (from the article) Sounds a bit hard to afford if you're not funded. I'd be curious to know what this includes too: ho

That's not what I said at all. (and I don't see how you interpreted it that way) To put it simply, though it is understood that one needs to make money and that it's natural to want to be paid as much as possible for whatever your work is,

leave and tell your partner that you've done so through your "gadget". Or, for repeat offenders: leave and don't tell. They'll figure it out when they get there... (passive-aggressive? surely)

Couldn't one argue that the 5 billion euros lost were lost only because the Société Générale execs sold everything when it was discovered? Had it been "discovered" (or acted upon) at the right time, I suppose it could have made the bank the

I'm not put off by someone maximizing the money they're getting for what they do, but I am a little bit by people who do what they do to maximize the money they're getting. Of course, it's a matter of personal taste and point-of-view... But

No offense, but the fact that the money aspect is what you like the most puts me off a bit... it feels too much like the stereotypical "sales guy". However, it explains why I dealt with a couple of recruiters who touted their PhD in their e

I would really like to work with that kind of person. Like everyone else, I've had useless encounters with recruiters, and I feel like someone with more experience and knowledge of the job world should be able to match me up better with a j

I was actually wondering how well the movie will do because, while it's about a service used by 500 million people, it's not about the service itself but about the creation and early days of the company. So a facebook user might not necessa

The bevel of the iMac has the same thing. The new design was touted as much thinner than the old one (the white plastic version), where in fact, it was much thinner on the edges but about otherwise.

Does that mean you were going from hg to git? Any specific reason for that? Any opinion on the two? (I've been using git for a little bit but wonder if Mercurial could be more powerful but less popular, and that I'd be missing out)

I agree with you, having had my share of back-and-forth with Apple Care. But I think there's the build quality vs. the durability of the products. For me, Apple products win in build quality in the sense that the pieces are cleanly fabricat
