I think it depends on where you work. I work at a large internet startup in NYC, and out of 250-ish employees we have, maybe only 10 are foreign.

Thanks. I didn't know you could delete things. I tried the same swipe to no avail.

Just of the top of my head I could say Paypal (when they started out) and AirBnb operate in legal grey areas.

The standard HIV test people do (ELISA) tests for the antibodies produced against HIV, not the HIV strain itself. Donated blood is tested with PCR, which detects the HIV RNA. PCR test detects HIV in as quick as a couple of weeks. However, b

I thought HIV was the virus and AIDS was the condition, the article repeatedly says "AIDS virus"– am I mistaken?

AFAIK GoogleBot runs a minimum amount of Javascript on the page before parsing.

Hint: sender first name is inside the sender's email address, not the name that appears in the email client.

Are you implying that Etsy's engineers aren't good?

Another article mentioned frid.ge had 40.000 uniques and 20.000 groups. Does that say something?

I like Austin, but a group I was part of used Fridge and it made my pull my hair. Thanks to Fridge, I now know how my grandmother feels like using a computer. The UI was really overwhelming and I could never find what I was after or why thi

At least at some point you could view the news feed of people in a given friend list in Facebook too.

If you're looking for resizable icons that work in non-canvas non-SVG settings, putting those vectors in a webfont is a pretty good idea too. Check out: http://pictos.drewwilson.com/

Haven't seen any Loopt activity on my social networks for a long time now. Are they in the deadpool?

I was interested in working for Airbnb too. Last January I tweeted out about how much I love them, and through the tweet I ended up visiting their offices and chatting with Joe, one of their founders. They were very generous with their time

This exact thing does exist. Different vacation types, different destinations.. All covered. Gave you hotel and airfare prices. Was quite thorough although was a flash app. Don't remember the name of the site though. Adioso.com?

This app exists and is hugely successful. It works in Airports, Office Buildings, Government Buildings, inside the Court House... called "GRINDR".

Funny that you mention iTunes, it's presumably completely off Steve's radar now. Just try right clicking on a song, see how clunky it is.

I don't think an alphabetical sort is appropriate in this context, since it wouldn't make sense to consider reading them in that order. I personally would put Bringhurst's book at the very top.

The story is impressive... And I hope they're on to building something big and serious. Am I getting this right, 5 ACM finalists working on a nicer version of craigslist's missed connections?

Do you live in Helsinki? You should maybe change the people you hang out with. I befriended "Finnish rednecks" for a year but that helped me go from 0 to fluent (YKI 5) in 2 years.

As a foreigner who went to high school in Finland for a year, I'd say their English skills weren't that good. They probably do well in standardized tests because their education is geared towards tests and perfect grammar, not actual commun

Andrew Wilkinson's Zappos "Redesign" which almost consisted of just putting gradients and drop shadows all over the page would definitely be easy with this project too! http://www.metalabdesign.com/zappos/

Not really. I paid $450 for an early bird badge. $100 flight each way from NYC with American/Continental. Couchsurfing for accommodation. Eating free food at parties. It's not that expensive if you plan well.

For web design/mockup work, Fireworks is way more suitable than Photoshop. It's also a lot cheaper.

Great! Could you add Design with different subcategories like information architecture, visual design etc?
