If you strip out all of his rewriting of history, you are left with a single half paragraph that forms the evidence on which the premise of his article rests. The Dow Jones industrial average, hovering near 11,000, is up 70 per

He talks about "staged obligation", where you fool them into thinking the registration form is only two or three fields, and then, when they hit "submit", show them more fields. He claims that this gets a higher registration rate than show

The least disruptive way for them to begin to capitalize on the money that 3rd party developers are making off of them, in my opinion, is to introduce an amazon type model, where the first 3000 (for example) api calls are free, and then the

I use my own server side analytics code. The reason I do, is that, no matter how much people pump Google Analytics, I'm afraid of it. I've been to too many sites that were completely hung, and in the status bar, my browser is saying "wait

Amazing how a single word and a question mark can convey the idea that somebody is crazy for mentioning something. Thanks for the link though. I had gotten a whiff, probably from statements like yours, that hushmail wasn't trustworthy, but

What a wonderfully well written peace of prose. I think we can be pretty certain that the man who wrote it was not the man in that video. As for whether he actually believed an island could tip over, I give him the benefit of the doubt th

How very PC of you. Meanwhile, you have somebody who is afraid to date, without laying out a whole big drama scene on his perspective girlfriend. You would rather make every relationship this guy has (yes, there will be more than one) be a

You've thought about this a lifetime, me, 20 seconds. That means my opinion is of little value to you. But let me give you a 3rd option. A middle ground between never dating and putting Ms. X through the pain of your illness. That middle

I'm uncertain how appropriate it is for this to be news related. If you're doing a story on Burma, I want you to be in Burma, not in San Francisco sipping a Latte, posting an ad such as "Myanmar: $100 for picture of demonstrating anti-gove

The ability to have my whois record anonymous (for free) by registering through Dreamhost is a big plus to me. I have a couple of private servers on DH which entitles me to free "live chat" with support. This story makes me wonder if I shou

I was disappointed not to be informed of the experimental method. Did he normalize the data for each time period? (Dollars/Person within 20 feet), or is it unnormalized and we could just be looking at a situation where more people came l

No, this is a brand new site, on it's first index through Google. I'm very confident that they went through the JS. Nobody else had any link to the site at all yet. Not really on topic, here, but the parents comment inspired me to share.

Sure. When you leave passwords floating around in plain text, bad things will happen too. It's too easy to forget that an obfuscated URL needs to be treated as a password.

I just had google index my ajax directory. I have a directory where I keep ajax files. The only link to them is through my javascript ajax calls. I was pretty surprised that Google goes through your javascript, harvesting your ajax links.

I disagree. A password is not a magic spell. It's a set of letters and numbers that, if guessed correctly, will give me access to something you wanted kept private. An obfuscated URL is a set of letters and numbers that, if guessed correct

Here's my problem with Freemium. There is the mindset that you'll win the lottery, get bought out, and become rich. It's all about users, not revenue. It becomes a lottery, where a few get very wealthy, and the rest make nothing. That's

Sounds like I need to work on my ad copy. My CTR is less than 0.3%. One of the things I am doing that I thought was clever, but perhaps, not so much, is including my price in the ad copy, on the premise that I don't want to pay for clicks

I'm actually a little disappointed in that 1.5M number. Mint is held up as such a success story, I had assumed, given things like Dropbox's 4M number, that Mint would be much higher. For those of us that are in much smaller niches, and wit

There is a TED talk by a young lady just going into cancer research. http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/eva_vertes_looks_to_the_fu... Her ideas about cancer really make sense to me, and match a lot of my own ideas. If she is correct, tha

I'm sorry you're feeling ill. As somebody who spends a good deal of time in China, and as somebody who feels that US freedoms are atrophying at an alarming rate, I sympathize somewhat with your position, but in all honesty, I really have t

My wife is Bulgarian, and through her, I'm exposed to a lot of folks who escaped from behind the iron curtain before it fell. These people are a breath of fresh air to me. They understand what freedom is and how precious it is. While most
