It seems to me the author incorrectly assumes morality is the same as ethics. Morality is more individualistic whereas ethics are externally imposed rules from which one may derive their morality. A Biblical absolutist for instance uses t

A well designed website shouldn't require a user agent change to get added functionality. If I have to mess with my user agent, install resource heavy plugins or change my browser of choice to use your service, then you just lost me as

This is such a non-issue for many users, but the simple fact that Pandora requires flash on their web interface is a deal breaker for me.

I think this is an idealistic view of what a work ethic is. This may be anecdotal, but I left home earlier than I should have and worked my fair share of "blue collar" jobs as a result and in none of these jobs were there people e

A few reasons I can think of off the top of my head: 1) Anything that can be effectively described as "blue collar" will probably be replaced by automation within 3-10 years depending on the job. 2) Creative thinkers should be va

As someone that works in the coffee industry I've been excited to see some of the startups coming out now that could compete against companies like Nespresso using real coffee while still preserving convenience, automation and ease of

Anecdotal and only related to your last paragraph, but as a security researcher I can say that 99% of the time attacks on a personal bank account are never "long term." Most of time, regardless of skill, hackers get in, cash out

I've been in that same boat, being blessed with both bipolar and depression, and although just saying "hey some push-ups will do the trick" is perhaps a bit trivial I will add that even a tiny bit of exercise will help as it

I always hear about the mythical intelligent religious person but somehow, they remain elusive. As a general rule, religiosity goes down as intelligence goes up. Consider William Craig. The man is a Christian philosopher and I would say he

I like this way of viewing software development: as an engineering field that is just in its infancy. Makes me excited to see what the future holds. That said I disagree that Apple's software is bad. Sure some of it is simplistic and l

Several years ago, I was arrested on a hacking charge and got to see first hand the appalling nature of our legal system in criminal courts. Normally, after your arrest, you have to have a hearing within 24-48 hours, but if they arrest you

You responded to a comment arguing that piracy could be considered a form of social protest. As such appealing to copyright seems a poor counter since copyright could be the very thing being protested. It's anecdotal at this point but

You are assuming that everyone agrees copyright is a good thing...

You mean like a primary color scheme that looks like a child's playground? Seriously though, this is just a joke on an Internet meme. Quit being a buzzkill.

Color accuracy on matte displays is appalling. Also, my opinion but, it is my understanding that a matte display requires a raised bezel around it (no edge to edge glass) which has a decided aesthetic disadvantage.

While you're correct in observing that the first example is shorter and potentially easier to read at a glance, there is a method to the madness in the second. They inlined the CSS needed for content above the fold which speeds up load
