For CribQ (housing maps from Craigslist) we prompt for ratings. It sucks to bug users but it also sucks to build a great product and not have people find it. To the people complaining about the experience, think of the experience of the dev

It does, however, change the validity of the "peer reviewed" status the paper has received, and thereby undermines the entire reason this paper has gotten so much attention. If the journal is not credible, has published unreliable science i

Yes, however at the implementation level, message based concurrency is shared memory concurrency (as I understand anyway.) Callbacks seem to me an entirely a different abstraction.

" Basically there are two models of concurrency: Shared state concurrency Message passing concurrency " Wouldn't the node.js style callbacks be a third type of concurrency? It's similar to message passing, but quite different f

The most important insight: unless you are targeting Asia (namely China and Korea,) you can pretty much dump IE6 support as Facebook and Google have done. The US number is under 3%. I'd like to see a breakdown of that 3%, but I'd guess it'

So incredible. I would love to learn to do this myself - seeing the world with sounds must be so different. If I were a billionaire I'd pay invest that $15M and hope I could learn.

Finally... I heard they were working on this 6 months ago. I don't like and won't use Get Satisfaction (confusing, terribly designed widget, and extortionate business model) and have been waiting for a good solution. I haven't looked at t

Agreed. I am also an east coaster and I find Dave's style to be a brilliant balance of humor and content. He occassionally rubs me the wrong way, but I'm a big boy. I can take it. I have a strong belief that any time you are offended, yo

I think it's a bit arbitrary and ridiculous that Dan is getting the kind of attention he is for these projects given all the other products out there - but that's the way mob mentality and yellow journalism a la Tech Crunch work, so good fo

Yes, regulation and anti-monopoly laws are essential to capitalism. However being in favor of sensible regulation is utterly different from advocating the abolition of capitalism.

I think that might be an ambitious guess regarding Riseup's intentions - they don't make any such distinction. They demonstrate a typical uninformed, knee-jerk, radical anarchist philosophy. For reference, a definition of capitalism: "An e

Yes, that's the great thing about a market.... Oh wait. Markets must be destroyed. Argh, inconsistency hurts my brain.

At it's core, capitalism is an incentive system to innovate and distribute innovation. Human ingenuity is not sufficient in-and-of itself. Without being rewarded for giving your innovations to others, inventions are less likely to arise or

That's corruption, not capitalism. And corruption is far worse in non-capitalist states, although the spoils are much smaller in magnitude. And I'm not opposed to regulation or in favor of pure laissez faire markets. I would add an importan

As much as I admire the effort to provide tools to oppressed people, I would strongly oppose this group. Capitalism and market economics are the single greatest tool for raising living standards, liberating people from oppression, and unle

I understand the email overload - if I don't respond to something the same hour, it often takes months. Still - I view twitter posts as too public for anything remotely sensitive, and DMs as similarly interruptive as SMS - so I rarely DM pe

Well we ate late night fish balls in Beijing together, so I should know you better! Actually I'd love to know more about how twitter replaces much of email for you - I don't like having so much of my communication public, and I have a hard

It's written as if it were to a drinking buddy who won't stop chasing his ex-girlfriend. It's dramatic parody, not dumbed down.

Could this also be related to how data is reported to Quantcast? Many of what used to be page loads are now AJAX requests - and the page loads on Quantcast may have recovered after they added API calls on notify Quantcast.
