I really think that you're completely missing the point in defending Google and maybe Goldman Sachs by saying that their decisions are ok because they are made rationally. Rationality is emotionless and mechanical. It's about making a reas

1Password actually has, hidden inside the '1password.agilekeychain' folder, a file called 1Password.html, which can be opened in any modern browser. So you can actually get at your passwords from a Linux machine by opening this .html file

Why the bootstrap hate? Do you really think this guy should hire a designer for his personal blog? Even if he did want to do his blog in "craigslist style css"... Why do you care?

I'm kind of curious why you use SecureRandom.hex and then check for uniqueness, rather than just using SecureRandom.uuid? Edit: Nevermind, I realize now that SecureRandom's uuid isn't really a uuid, in that sense. It's just random.

This morning I was trying to use Potlach to extend a street around a corner and end it in a cul-de-sac. I was able to get the street to curve around, but I couldn't really figure out how to make it end in a little neat circle like all the

I really want to like OpenStreetMap, and I think it has a ton of potential, but right now I think it's just too difficult to contribute to it. The only choices for map editing are JOSM and Potlatch and neither of those are very user friend

I might take a shot at it tonight or tomorrow. I have been meaning to learn how to build stuff like this into Gems...

That sounds very interesting. May I ask, how are your employees using this in practice? What kinds of tasks they are outsourcing, and how much is that weekly budget?

Ah, you are right.. "For-Hire vehicles" are different from "medallion taxis". I've spent the past hour reading the rules on the T&LC site. (This stuff kinda interests me because I'm a consultant for the NYC Department of Law). T&

That doesn't sound right.. You can book a yellow cab through a dispatcher. This happens at bars all the time. There is even an online service and app which claims to do it: http://itaxinyc.com/ (competitor to you?)

Is there an amount of money that a 'suit' could pay you that you wouldn't hate it?

The 'value' creation is the small web site owners. And they filled the money pot for that eco system with remnant advertising dollars. I think it's great that small website owners can use AdSense to monetize what they do, but that really

I don’t know if Google can come up with a way to make quadrillions of dollars and to keep me from being sad. Maybe my feelings are simply a cost of doing business, or maybe what I want is impossible. But I think my sadness is independent o
