When "The Singularity Is Near" was first published, I asked Bill Gates what he thought of the book. He said "I don't know how near the singularity is, but I haven't heard any convincing argument why it won't happen". That seems like a more

Calling preventDefault on the mousewheel event stops swipe navigation in Chrome. You may want to restrict this to when the tab pane's scroll position is 0.

To be fair, you could put just about any human activity after "so we now need a crud app to..." and hit a successful startup.

I'm impressed by your transition from the blog post to doing this site, and hopeful that a site like this one will finally take hold. Good luck!

Good point. Not all literature depends on a love of language in the way that Joyce and Nabokov do. That might be the key distinction.

First of all, I think you're confusing correlation and causation here: "It seems that the sort of people who enjoy Homer are, to a first approximation, the same sort of people as those who enjoy Joyce, or any other literary work where it i

Check out joyceimages.com for Ulysses "illustrations". We use images from the time the book is set in. Some of them are of a specific person or place that's mentioned, while others just demonstrate the mood of a line.

Because users wouldn't have to retype their CC on every page, thereby trusting each site owner (and more). Instead, you'd get used to Stripe already having your info, and a page where the Stripe button prompted you for it would be suspiciou

Yes, like Facebook Connect. This would in fact be more secure than the current solution.

Nice. In the next step, could Stripe start cookie-ing people to remember their payment info across sites?

One advantage is filtering query results at the DB layer. For example, you could compare elements within an array, test a particular index of the array, or see if a value is present anywhere in the array. See http://www.postgresql.org/docs

I forget which venture capitalist first said it, but a very wise thought is this: if it has become easier for any single app to garner millions of users rapidly... This may be referring to cdixon's "Increasing velocity" post: http://cdix

One more detail to throw in: the user as data source will move toward expressing what they want rather than how to get it.
