Not that I think this is accurate by any stretch, but what would account for the massive jump in "Other" in 2005. Smart phones like Nokia before iPhone + Android?

Foxconn employes 1.2Million people. Their largest factory has 300,000+ people [1]. What city of 300,000 do you know that hasn't had a bar fight / civil squabble / etc? It'd probably be more reason for concern if these things weren't happe

Wait, so if I build something on Android and iPhone, I don't have to use Apple's in app purchase? I can use Stripe directly? Am I understanding this correctly?

Along these lines, Steve Jobs didn't wear his iconic turtle neck and jeans when he was just a startup. Markula impressed upon him early that if he didn't dress well, people wouldn't trust him. So steve Jobs wore suits. An bowties. And looke

In the very beginning (2004 when I was a freshman), I remember being able to buy ads myself, for something like $10 for 1,000 views. This was really, really popular. People would advertise all sorts of things like parties, furniture, etc. A

When they took off, the autonomous navigation wasn't even close to complete. They pushed that software once the two Rovers were already on Mars. (I was working on the Rover team at the time)

Laws aside, homosexuality is alive and well in Singapore. There are gay clubs, lady boys at Orchard Towers (government regulated prostitution), and I had a number of gay friends who certainly weren't fearful for their life (never bothered a

The article says that this practice is legal. If the sale is made, and then the client uses it to do something illegal, is the hacker / Grugq free of liability?

The twitter bird doesn't actually apear that much on the site, mobile app, etc. I barely even tie it to the brand, and it doesn't feel like twitter does either[1]. Compare that to Octocat and GitHub. Octocat is everywhere; I feel like the l

I feel like 1 - 2 years ago I was reading a slew of blog posts with the title "Why We Chose MongoDB." Now it seems like all of the blog posts are some sort of "We Just Finished Migrating off of MongoDB, Here's Why." I know nothing about Mon

I'm not sure that the 10k was worth it for J Wu. Employers Google potential employees, and this blog post will definitely show up. Even though I feel he's in the right this type of public shaming would make me think twice about hiring him

On a somewhat related note, the GPS on lots of Android phones is more seriously broken than this. For AlpineReplay (app that tracks skiers and snowboarders) we routinely get visits that happen in the future. GPS timing is often off by 24 ho
