Why is it up to the US government (only)?

I'm disagreeing with the degree of care. I don't think most people give a hoot about web standards. I do think most people care about their car standards/internals.

by cglee 17y ago
I think that's where we disagree. I haven't come across any normal folk who even remotely cares about HTML version or javascript library, etc. I have however come across many people from various backgrounds talking about how different cars

Absolutely consumers care about the car's internals. Most people know a lot more about their cars than about web standards.

...except in this case consumers couldn't care less about HTML5 or web standards.

I didn't read the article, but the first quote you gave says "feel needs to be done" and the second says "feel comfortable". So, from your excerpts, it appears he's saying something to the effect of "do what needs to be done, even if it fee

I guess I meant the question to be read in a more Socratic manner, rather it being a genuine question.

Can you believe in God and evolution at the same time?

Fusion is awesome, especially their "Unity" feature.

I'll submit that it could be measurable and provable, but we haven't figured out how to do it yet. It's quite obvious that after meditation, something has changed within me. I don't know how to quantify it, but it's a marked change. The fa

Redirecting your users away from your site just to pay is such an unnatural workflow. I can't believe that this is even remotely acceptable - you're introducing friction and obstacles at the most critical juncture.

Group identity. Just like you (or some of "us") get figgidty when people make fun of techies/hackers. Update: I should clarify that "group identity" is strong when that identity is formed around an "out-group" (a minority or marginalized gr

Leadership is important, but how a leader derives his power differs greatly by context. In the case of a football coach, it's basically positional power - you "take it or leave it", because as a subordinate, you can't change it. The militar

After first I hated Compass (and Haml and Sass) - I didn't mind futzing around with CSS, especially with a nice editor, like CSSEdit. But after using Compass on a project, working with a regular CSS file is just painful. I wouldn't be surpr

Another explanation could be that the Indians in the US are mostly engineers, who skew towards being introverted. I'm guessing wildly here, but my point is that it could be more than cultural factors at play.

As a web developer, you'll also probably need to test in Windows and IE. For that, get Fusion or Parallels and you can have Windows and OSX running side by side.

You have to look at it by percentages. IBM + Sun employ how many people?

Seems like a really good option for individual logos, but what about overall site design?

I'm well aware of the HuKuo system (most of my extended family live in China). It doesn't restrict movements at all, and you can move to any city you wish for work, vacation, wandering, whatever. It's just a zip code system to track where p

Have you seen "Time Machine"? There's a scenario where a moon-based mining project goes awry, causing moon fragments to fall to Earth and basically destroying all advanced civilizations. I didn't think that was remotely possible, but maybe

Another option is to use the existing ability that you have to solve a problem. You don't have to be the world's top PHP/Ruby/Python hacker to create something useful.

The best line I've heard wrt giving Westerners a perspective to understanding China is this (paraphrasing): Americans demand change when they feel something isn't right. They want to see change happen and want it immediately - or, at the le

That's the problem you're facing. You're trying to understand China from an American perspective. And it may not be your fault, maybe that's all the perspective you have at the moment. To understand the complexity of China's problems, and t

I don't want to play this game. All I'm trying to say is it doesn't seem like you understand China well, and should reserve criticism until you have some basic understanding of her problems.

My grandmother (who's Chinese) used to always say "Communism! What Communism! Just take a look outside, you can clearly tell who's rich and who's not!" China may be Communist by name, but it's capitalist by heart.

Absolutely. It's similar to those Kia commercials comparing themselves to BMW or Lexus.

Louis CK is a comedian. I doubt he was truly trying to engage in discussion.
