What a huge missed opportunity for AirBnB! For a drop in the bucket of time & expense, they could have easily come out of this looking stellar & likely would have gained the business of many people who have been on the fence. Inste

As far as I know, Mac OS X has always been sold with a single machine license (unless you bought the Family multi-pack).

"Talking in an interview with NPR’s Peter Sagal" Something tells me @petersagal would get a kick out of that characterization of a WWDTM appearance.

Because often times you don't remember the domain exactly & then you've got the same problem. Anyone remember whitehouse.com or countless other examples of this? The fact that Google is probably 99%+ effective at getting you where you

I like the simplicity of this. Here's your biggest problem I think: I just filled in a bunch of overlaps (which was kind of fun), but that's probably all i'm going to do right now & I'll likely forget all about overlap.me by tomorrow.

"Because of what you said before you started filming..." Cute. I know this has been discussed before, but how far away are we from having tiny wearable cameras that are always recording? It certainly seems that's where things are headed.

I think I can understand Baio's logic: Photographs & Music are two very different mediums. A music composition is made to be played. And part of that is that multiple people will probably be playing it. The fact that the instrument ch

Electric swap stations (eg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfdYU7gk8fs ) strike me as one of the most promising concepts for electric vehicles. Imagine if rather than ever owning a battery you're just perpetually rent the use of one (perha

Is there any documentation on how to get started using these two products together?

I actually started playing with the concept one weekend for IAmAs specifically. I was trying to do it all client-side and the issue I was running up against was reddit's jsonp responses get VERY slow on large threads.

The production batch issue is very real. After seeing an 85% failure rate over 12 months in a batch of 16 high-end Seagates, we no longer purchase more than a few at a time from a particular vendor. Though I will say, even with this, we n

It seems Marco's views have shifted somewhat after seeing the demo: https://twitter.com/#!/marcoarment/status/77796293510037504 I think Instapaper will still be very successful. He may need to raise the price & focus on a smaller "Pr

The value is less in the database and more in the relationships they've developed. We're not just talking rows in a table here. These are businesses which have bought into Groupon as a lead generator & who Groupon should be able to br

I agree the fonts are better on scribd, but don't brush off the ads. I find this very challenging to read with the ads moving around & the toolbar at the bottom sliding in and out. Additionally, scribd opens the document at a zoom leve

Not to mention the issue that in many US states the enforcement of misclassification laws are on the rise and the penalties are stiff. So unless you can make a good case why a contractor should not be an employee--the main allowed reason b

Any thoughts on how Google could prevent this? Seems important they provide a way to reclaim domains.

You're absolutely correct that GPU acceleration isn't working in Chrome. Interesting.

It works for me in both, but it's tremendously smoother in Safari. In Chrome the fans on my i7 MBP spun up and the framerate was low. In safari, the fans didn't come on and the framerate was high. Not what I would have expected.

What makes you say that's the general assumption? As far as I know the vast majority of machines shipping with SSDs are shipping with ONLY an SSD, not two drives. Are you saying Apple's (for example) assumption is you're going to cary aro

Given it's a hacker audience, I'd say there's an implicite meta aspect to all such submissions. So yes, I appreciate knowing this was a weekend project... and a very cool one at that!

How about having your hostfile swap script change your IM status to something like "Goofing off online." (or whatever)? Nothing like the shame of broadcasting that to your coworkers to get you to keep your goof off time to a minimum.
