Yep - Ticketmaster knows everyone hates them. They are happy to be the "bad person" when it's the venue that's charging the bulk of the fee.

Very slick looking site! On the code side, how was your Dart experience? How does it compare to other things you've build with different tech?

by "missing the point a bit" I meant "slightly off topic for the article". You had one of the initial replies to the article, and I was hoping to keep the discussion a bit more on the topic of the article, which is an

You're missing the point a bit. Neocities isn't taking the position that the blocking is a bad thing. They are arguing that people should get to know what the government is blocking. Today it's "sick forbidden sex with

We recently rewrote our mobile website to be a much more modern experience ( http://m.trulia.com ). Our ability to easily deploy and test ideas while behaving almost exactly like our iOS / Android apps is quite powerful. I

This all depends on how you define "dream". If it's a picket fence, yard, pool, 2,5 kids, etc, that's not gonna fly in the Bay. But if the dream is to live in a nice place with easy access to a fantastic city, that&#x2

What sort of environment are you using React in, and what process did it replace? (trying to get a better understanding of how it fits into the modern JS app world).

Depends on your location. Do an airbnb search in your area to get an idea. I just made up a price for mine, and when I was getting tons of requests for it, raised the prices to slow them to a manageable rate. Living in SF doesn't hurt.

Airbnb. High value customers and very little overhead on my part. Not totally passive, I guess, but takes up very little time and makes us a decent bit of money on the side.

So I loved Space Quest, loved these guys stuff. But does it feel like this trend of Kickstarting adventure games has jumped the shark a bit? Their video was high quality, but also painfully unwatchable. I could feel them wanting to hit t

I work for CBSi just got this response from the dowload.com team: "We remove the installer from pretty much all publishers who request it removed, and the wrapping of nmap was an error. Fyodor has been contacted and had the issue explained.

You say "Companies like these trust Treehouse" Does that mean those companies (citrix, BBC, Virgin) are using Treehouse, or companies similar to them are using Treehouse.

Why? It's common practice to pre-write obituaries for famous people, no matter how healthy they are. And it leads to a better obit that can be richer because of the time invested in it beforehand (the Economist's obits are usually very wel

As an impartial bike commuter who has his ride home interrupted by both Dreamforce and Oracle World (both shut down Howard st between 3rd and 4th - I hate them both equally), I can say that the quality of the Oracle World tents and displays

Why does using google and stackoverflow get a negative connotation? There's a collection of information on a topic that's larger than any other collection in the history of mankind, and we can search it in minutes. Why shouldn't that be th

There are many companies doing just this (sunrun, solarcity, etc). There's currently some loophole that as a business they get paid more for their electricity than a homeowner would (due to subsidies to encourage businesses to use solar).

Without seeing any examples of improved text, my first thought was that an API/Wordpress/Gmail plugin would be awesome. Though before I pay, it would be nice to see some examples of improved text.

Anecdotally: Mongo is great for developing small projects. It's fun to work with since it's got no defined structure, and will just save whatever you give it wherever you say to. That flexibility comes back to haunt it in larger projects.

Ah. But I'd expect think that they'd limit it to only images, or do some sorta safety checking. I recognize the performance concerns, but it's too easy to add a malware redirect onto their trusted url.

yikes, Gravatar has an open redirect. http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/8ca7425c8ada807b9bf6934f10d59... It's a fun trick, but it should't be possible.

Two answers, sorta: You should play to your strengths/interests. Staying up to date in the tech world requires a bit of passion, so choose a path that you'll enjoy over one that makes the most sense. If you have a design eye and prefer bui
