Does your company have a website I can check out?

Calling that a "subsidy" is stretching the English language quite a bit.

Sounds like you have a lot of great ideas. Can I have some? I'm a talented developer, but I rarely ever use apps myself, so I'm short on ideas. I'll buy you some beers if I make a few sales. :)

What you're discussing is strategy (the choice of where to deploy resources in a conflict). Some might argue that science can be applied to conflict, but Clausewitz for example makes a convincing argument that strategy is not scientific an

For example, according to the TSA, the 11-inch model of the MacBook Air is fine to leave in your bag, but the 13-inch model must be removed. There's nothing inherently unscientific about this rule. Presumably someone has calculated the vo

There's so much missing from this video, most obviously the metal polishing steps which saw the deadly explosion last year due to inadequate ventilation.

First of all Chomsky is still alive, and secondly, I'm almost certain that he won't be remembered for his poltical writings, but for his scientific contributions. People don't even read his very early political works much anymore. His new m

The original poster is right to point this out. Outside of the traditional dictionary definition, the term "corporatism" is virtually meaningless. The modern usage which floats around is used exclusively as a pejorative when getting angry

I don't know much about iPhone hardware, but a good example of this is on the 2010 13-inch MacBook. Apple has been a leader in enabling their software to offload tasks to the GPU (see OpenCL, etc). This enabled them to stay a generation beh

I hope it's not a fad! I'm not at all a fan of sites that look like mobile apps. I want the web on my phone, period. Responsive design gives me the full website with the same information architecture, with the bonus of a more mobile-friend

Looks great, and kudos on releasing open source code as well. As a developer who has specialized in making web-based maps, I've been dreaming of something like this coming a long, and here it is. I had seriously considered working toward t

I subscribed to Stratfor for a while and I thought I'd explain what the site is for anyone who's wondering. (And yes, my info was part of the leak, unfortunately) It's basically a subscription news site ($100/year) that delivers focused in

Fantastic! I highly recommend watching the bit starting from 2:30. It goes against the myth of Steve Jobs as having a magical talent for envisioning finished products. He says that when they started out: -They had no idea what people woul

I've seen that photo too, maybe 20 years ago, and although I don't remember where it was anymore, I believe it was a mockup made for a magazine, and not a real satellite photo.

Since this article brings up an LSD anecdote from Steve Jobs, I'll add one from someone who is not famous at all, but which I think is no less useful. A few weeks ago, I spotted two men fighting outside of a bar. The older man got violentl

I clicked on this article expecting to have a laugh, considering the linkbait title and the website it's on. But I was impressed. The article nicely introduces ideas like customer validation and minimum viable prototypes in a way most peopl

I came here to post this, so thanks for finding the link to share with everyone. I'm not usually a fan of crime-related TV documentaries, but this is one of the best episodes of Frontline I've seen, and was absolutely eye-opening for me. I

Independent of this error, there is no justifiable rationale for downgrading the debt of the United States... The magnitude of this mistake – and the haste with which S&P changed its principal rationale for action when presented with t

I work full-time building custom Google Maps-based projects, so my first thought was to compare them. While this seems very nicely done, there's little in it that you couldn't do with the Google Maps API. Some of the default settings are

As good as the author's logic is, he's trying to refute a point that locavores haven't even really been emphasising. See for yourself: http://www.locavores.com/how/why.php Energy conservation is only one of 12 reasons to buy locally, and

The "receive no value" language is not in the original contract -- that's from a June 13, 2011 letter from one of Skype's attorney's.

Just wanted to say that your comments don't really come across as an angry rant, but as a voice of reason. I agree with you completely, and this sort of approach from Microsoft would be quite in line with everything they've done in the pas

Very well written. This is something that has been obvious to me for a long time, but I've never been able to explain it in such a simple and clear way before. I'm saving this article to show to the next person who approaches me to work on

I'm not in favour of bringing back comment scores -- the quality of discussions was definitely declining when scores were removed, and bringing them back isn't going to change that original problem. If we need more changes, let's try someth

Oooh, this is the first icon site I've seen that doesn't suck! :) I think you should definitely market this more, there are probably many other people who could benefit.

These look great, and I'm surprised I've never heard of them. How do you market them?
