During my A levels, I had a friend who somehow managed to set the entire fume cabinet on fire, and in panic, he accidentally unlodged the tap controlling the bunsen burner, causing fire to come out of the tap as well. He's now a lawyer.

you can chalk this to incompetent ad ops people. When they set up these things in ad exchanges or DSPs, they simply accidentally (or intentionally) set the wrong settings for the campaign

You have a point. But in my worst case scenario (i.e. I take a picture of a starving African child, and a hypothetical neo-nazi racist politician were to use it in saying "this is what god intends for black people"), there would be a moral

I do not get the outcry over this. This is a Good Thing with capital letters. We as a whole species are currently producing more content than the sum of humanity prior to the 20th century per day every day. Content production has become so

I understand the need for a nice URL, perhaps indicative of RESTfulness, but I see a few problems with this: 1. From a REST point of view - the map is the resource. The adddress is well, not really a resource (the logic goes like this: if t

A few days ago I had to pass a in a row in order to google for something. I failed 9 in a row, and on the 10th, it was finally readable. It totally wasn't the most pleasant experience.

Didn't Julian Assange suggest this? There was an interview published last week with Eric Schmidt, where this was suggested. I've since started work on a side project that does this - to be integrated into Fork the Cookbook - since our targe

Occasionally it's actually good (re: techie feedback on non technie product). We designed Fork the Cookbook[0] to be highly accessible by the common food blogging mom. We went out to them, and they hated the idea of forking recipes (very st

This is probably one of the best advices I've read in recent weeks. It's exactly why for Fork the Cookbook[0] we only ever soft-launched. No Show HNs, no sending out messages to Techcrunch or whatever. We've learned from our experience with

I'm not sure about Rubymine since I'm more of a Python/Golang guy (also I use SublimeText). In Python, there is an IDE called PyCharm that has a remote intepreter function. I expect all good IDEs to have something like that too: remote inte

You start off with the same baseVM (I used to use Precise32, switched to Precise64 for the first time yesterday). You specify the boxes which is based off your base VM. From there, the path of evolution for each box will take place individu

Oh, many people don't understand DMCA at all. They think it's a shortcut to take down content they don't like. It's not only the big companies that are doing it. The DMCA is way too easy to misuse

Actually, the fact that you cannot appeal for fair use (or at least give rationalization) points to how broken the system is. On the other hand, I can also understand why his appeals fall to deaf ears. When handling the first few DMCAs for

I wrote about this 2 years ago [0]. In my opinion, it's a choice between doing the things you already love, and loving the things you do. Earning money is something you do. You may eventually fall in love with what you do (as I have, and ha
