It's even worse than that, since there are cities and counties which levy their own sales taxes. If an Internet retailed has to collect all of these, they need a comprehensive sales tax database plus a mechanism for sending payments where t

This write up is ridiculously biased. If you read Adria's write up, which includes the photo, you can see that there's absolutely nothing private about the conversation. Look at the photos in http://butyoureagirl.com/14015/forking-and-dong

Or ... this is a good way for him to see if there's actual interest in the product. And given his track record of actually finishing stuff, it seems like this is relatively low risk as far as Kickstarter projects go.

At the last programming conference I attended, I saw a man and woman holding hands. These two people had not, to the best of my knowledge, met before the conference. I don't know how far this relationship went (not that it's my business), b

I agree with most of your points except for #4. There's nothing inherently wrong with flirting at a conference. Flirting is a very natural type of interaction for people, and asking people to not do it at all doesn't seem realistic. However

The http://torguard.net/ SOCKS proxy service works quite well if all you care is bittorrent. They also offer a VPN product. They don't keep logs, which is something to look for in any decent VPN or SOCKS proxy.

Here's another way to phrase it. A good API is based on the data and actions related to a specific domain of knowledge. Generic solutions produce APIs that are oriented around the communications protocol (REST). On the client side, I don't

All that these sorts of description produce is a low-level API. That can be useful, but what's really needed are high-level APIs that provide meaningful semnatics: my $me = Facebook->new( username => 'autarch' ); $me->

Let me simplify this title ... "Does Google Care?" And the answer is a resounding no. I like using many Google products, but as a company I find Google to be somewhat despicable. They have enormous power and the sheer impossibility of makin

It's actually a Thai sauce, so I'm not sure you'd expect to find it in Vietnam. It's just really common in Vietnamese restaurants in Minneapolis here. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sriracha_sauce

I live in Minneapolis, which has a ridiculous large number of Vietnamese restaurants. Pretty much every one of them has Huy Fong sriracha on the table. I don't know how long it's been common here, but it's been a long time. Honestly, it nev

I think remote works best when everyone on a team is remote. At my current employer, we have 6 people on our tech team. All except 2 of us are in different places. This forces us to figure out how to work effectively using chat, wiki, pro

At my current job, we used FizzBuzz when we were interviewing potential senior devs. One of the candidates who looked good enough on paper to talk to could not complete FizzBuzz, and in fact spent 20 minutes struggling with it before I deci

You absolutely should have gone on a date. Think of it this way, if by some chance it worked out you'd probably have the best "how we met" story of your entire social circle.

The amount of stuff you need to sit down at your computer and try to build a "site like Amazon" is pretty trivial. In fact, all you need is a computer and a net connection. You'll discover quite quickly that you can't build Amazon by yourse

I just bought a fairly capable gaming PC for around $1,000. It's not the absolute fastest thing but it certainly performs more than well enough for all the indie games I've bought.

I think the implications are huge, but I question the 90% reduction in cars figure. While it's true that most people don't drive their car most of the time, when they do drive, most of them are driving within a relatively small time window.
