This site could make a whole bunch of money if it just put together a shopping cart on Amazon for me and took the referral money.

Right click and save-as might be annoying but it's also a critical piece of our tinkering economy. I don't want to use a client that prohibits me from downloading the web unless it's specified as "permissible" by the author. This is a step

A lot of those billionares were born that way. I suspect that to understand what to do with that kind of money, you've got to have been without it at some point in your life.

I find it absolutely amazing that a guy who coined the term "mindless clicktivism" spent more than 14,000 words on an attack on Tim O'Reilly. Aren't there more important things to worry about? Disclosure: I'm an O'Reilly author.

I'm an author who wrote an Amazon "bestseller" -- it was the #1 Culture book in the store for six months, and the #1 Technology book for about one month. ( http://amzn.to/infodiet ) I sold more than 4,000 books (closer to about 15,000), but

Petitions are completely ineffective because the citizenry doesn't have enough civic knowledge to ask for the right things. Take for instance, the top one -- "classify the Westboro Baptist Church as a hate group" or the various succession p

Direct democracy enables citizens to vote for every service imaginable and vote to pay no taxes for them.

I know Jeff. Jeff taught me rails. If my kid was of the age where it was productive for me to spend this level of money on Jeff teaching him, there's no question in my mind I'd do it. Fwiw, I've been trying to get Jeff to teach me a "How to

The article all but ignores the fact that there are political social networks that exist. Experienced political organizers already know this, which is why so much effort goes into courting the endorsements of unions like AFT, NEA, AFSCME

Except it's more expensive, and the screen and CPU are not as good.

It seems like with a keyboard "dock" the Nexus 10 might be the lightest "retina" laptop available at 25% of the price as the new 13" Retina Macbook Pro.

This is amazing. One thing that would be nice to be noted on this that isn't: 1920 was when Congress began its 435 person cap on the house. Gerrymandering begins.

The integration with other things is a big deal fwiw. I'm currently playing with NFC and doing things like "when I tap my phone on my night stand, make sure all the doors are locked and turn off all the lights except for the bedroom" We're

I've been using a MiCasa Verde[1], alongside the compatible KwikSet Deadbolts[2], an android app called Automator to accomplish the same thing. It's actually a little pricier but you get: a. Remote entry -- unlock your door from afar. b. A

I'd say "my mom/sister/dad/cousin" is not going to host this themselves is a tricky assumption. I can imagine a world where my mom creates an account with a service that kicks off an EC2 instance on her behalf without her even knowing it. W

As an author, it's depressing to see empty books -- stickers and all -- selling for twice as much as full ones.

Nonsensical sensationalism. The petition expired, and didn't get 25,000 signitures. Should it have gotten special preference because it got on the front page of Reddit and Hackernews? No. Should you have signed it 2 days ago instead of upvo

This isn't a dig but just a note: every human being in all of these photographs is white. Even the parade picture at the end is, from what I can gather, all white. Makes you think about the real exclusion happening then, and how much progre

I don't understand why someone does not just fork PHP and create something that's syntactically similar but fixes a lot of the problems people complain about.

Can we appreciate for a moment that this is a product that is _manufactured in the United States_. I hope this is a step forward in the manufacturing of our consumer electronics, and by doing this, it makes it so doing manufacturing in the

You're absolutely right. I'm the author, and I left that part out entirely. I think there are a lot of posts giving that kind of advice already, and while important, I had a hard time figuring out how to do the prepwork it took to be able t
