Even if we're talking about such a massive roll-out to millions of machines, with various versions of the OS running on various hardware? I don't know how easy or not the actual patch is to produce, but it's not out of the re

Tip to anyone rolling out a library and wanting others to start using it: It'd be helpful if the home page or the FAQ explained what io.js actually does and why a developer might want to explore it further. "Bringing ES6" is

Oh I wasn't making any judgement on the business itself. Just pointing out that, if anything, he probably hasn't profited as handsomely as the article implies.

What the article doesn't address is whether this guy's business actually makes any money. It might make sense as a good bet if he paid $9.99 for birdflu.com, but $20,000? Has he actually resold any of his domains for large sums?

Do you have any sources for this other than, literally, "dad's dad's friend who heard a rumor?"

S3 lets you essentially park a domain on a bucket and serve files from the URL, including .html. No additional httpd needed.

Unions seem to offer the most benefits to industries where workers' skills are commodity -- a factory worker can fairly quickly be replaced by someone else who can assemble equipment. A bus driver can be replaced by someone who else wi

It's really import to look for ways to make your organization more efficient (and these are good starting points) -- but I think there's a common misunderstanding between this sort of efficiency and the efficiency that economists

Curious: what are some examples of citizen-led governance beginning to render states irrelevant? Likewise, where are you seeing a collapse of less entrenched governments all over the planet?

Right. Or if that question isn't current enough, how about: What do you consider the Snowden revelations about the NSA? There may well be a lot of bad, boring, or inconsequential journalism out there designed to generate click-throughs

Wow. If news is only "content" that exists to sell advertising, then sure, go ahead and believe that there'd be no problem if journalism were to "tear down, or at least modify, the 'Chinese wall' between conten

To the contrary, I think it illustrates your social awareness. You're exactly right -- in the first comment, he using dicks in a generic way to make a point about everyone in the room, including himself. This isn't the issue, re

You're absolutely right that there is a lot of nuance in that particular situation, and you did a good job of breaking it down. But that's my point: Brad was taking a very big risk in thinking that Heidi was on the exact same page

She makes a really good point about pausing to evaluate the intent behind the words -- and even using the opportunity to educate -- rather than always assuming the worst. But did anyone else feel that Brad Feld was very, very lucky that it

That's an interesting take on the reason to bill hourly, and I know a lot of developers who do that. Personally I've switched to mainly doing fixed-bid contracts. Rather than selling my time, a fixed-bid contract allows me to sell

This is good advice. I've been freelancing for 7 years. When you're talking with potential clients, it's reasonable to spend an hour or so talking about the project requirements and the client's needs and expectations, n

I agree. But is interface design wholly in the realm of art? It's not a case of "this art will be viewed by a thousand people and some will get it and some won't." It's a case of "hundreds of thousands of payin

Actually, I'm inclined to bet this was one designer's concept and not the work of many people reviewing prototypes and giving feedback. Design-by-group tends to produce boring, cluttered, seen-it-before layouts with little innovat

At some point, laptops, displays, and handheld devices started carrying built-in microphones and cameras as a feature. Perhaps the new feature is devices that don't have these things? To use a mic or camera, you'd explicitly have
