A regional note for San Francisco: the bikers here aren't helping things. We seem to have a disproportionate number of asshole bikers who seem to think they are entitled to fly through stop-signs as 10/15 mph. As a person who both bikes and

For me, the realization that it is actually SAFER to claim the lane rather than be meek and risk getting doored or risk being in a position where cars assume they should pass you. Better to piss people off than risk your life. Plus, in most

It scans your face in a public place in order to do facial recognition. What happens if I want to go to a public place WITHOUT having my face scanned for facial recognition and inclusion in some startup's dataset? Do I not get a say? Is tha

You guys definitely should have refactored the class prefix and removed the 5by5 assets though, right?

Shame on you John Gruber. Seriously though, it's John's show and he's free to take it to another network. I just _really_ hope that this transition was done in a respectful manner and that there isn't bad blood between 5by5 and Mule. A litt

When I load this on my iPad a white div appears and covers up the text after the page finishes loading. Anyone else?

A nitpick, but it is an important distinction: people who need this can not be CURED by modifying their diet. They can certainly be helped though. Changing my sugar intake pattern was the single best change I've ever made for my long term h

Meat quality is a huge component of eating Paleo. Grassfed and pastured meats may be more expensive but they pay dividends in health benefits. Which brings me to your second statement that "consuming animal protein" is "very bad for humans"

Yup. Paleo has been transformative for me. The reason this diet is so great for diabetics is two-fold: 1) Meat gives my body the correct satiety signals, and so staying away from all of the carby treats that I use to find so addictive is no

First: this is a treatment for type 1 diabetes. There is no reversing type 1 diabetes. Second: a _low carb_ diet helps type 1 and 2 diabetes and in many cases reverses type 2 diabetes. It has nothing to do with being "plant based". The grea

I agree the screen shot he used is terrible. Take a look at Path if you have the app. When you tap the Add Friends button in the top right the main view controller slides over to the left, but not all the way. About 20 px remain on the scre

This site is seriously hard to read. There is not enough contrast between the text and its background.

If they are going to do a complete redesign I wish they would also offer an API for developers. Currently, all third party apps built around craigslist are dependent upon parsing the raw HTML of the listing pages. A re-design is likely to b

There's definitely a tipping point here. As a mobile developer with my own successful iPad apps I am watching this situation very closely. If it looks like WM8 will get traction then I will scramble to be one of the first 1000 or so develop

Yes. Unfortunately. I'm not sure this is a good solution.

First: it's not a font, it's a typeface. Second: This typeface is a creative expression. Readability is but one of many goals that a new typeface can have.

There are a lot of "looks promising" comments here. Am I the only one who thinks this does NOT look promising? Aside from games, rendering a markup language is one the most taxing things we do on our mobile devices. When I get handed a new

You pay 10% more on COBRA than your employer was paying on your behalf. But the gist of what your saying still stands.

I highly recommend Back to Work. The signal to noise ratio is a problem, but we're talking about some pretty high quality signal and some pretty hilarious noise. Yes: Merlin can be _extremely_ rambly and he often has a hard time staying on

Another advantage: the first two hours of exerting your programming mojo each day are likely to be the most potent. Applying this potency to your own products and initiatives is a beautiful thing.

Just like with a standard keyboard you need to get yourself in a decent ergonomic position before doing prolonged iPad typing. The temptation is a lot stronger on the iPad to fudge a little on the positioning which can very quickly be disas

You don't need an external keyboard to type effectively on the iPad. It comes with practice.

There are two sides of this: the law, and what is fair. The law is what matters for practical purposes but you are objecting on the basis of fairness. I can dig that, but I disagree. Looking at this from the perspective of what I personally

Thanks for the response Larry. Since all I'm willing to spend is in the ballpark of the UDRP filing, my major take-away is is that coming to an agreement without the use of legal tactics is optimal for both parties. I was surprised to hear
