You are quite mistaken.

Parenthetical, but I really like the use of -webkit-transition in the Fabulis blog's stylesheet. I wasn't even aware of this extension to CSS, so I fruitlessly searched to find the javascript that was making it happen, until I finally got t

One of the problems it found with a site of mine was that it doesn't send Vary consistently.

Thanks! This is great, it found a few problems with my stuff.

Similarly, the market in carbon emission credits is rife with fraud.

In fact, Buffett is the first to admit his mistakes and apologize to Berkshire Hathaway's shareholders, each and every year he seems to apologize for one monumental fuckup after another.

by dreyfiz 17y ago
It's unfair to point out that Buffett made a bad trade that lost a billion dollars? Regardless of his status as the foremost investor of probably _all time_, he was empirically wrong on this one, and the article was about him talking down t

The import certificates are indeed a very cool idea.

Good article and the principle is sound, but the postscript is that Buffett wound up losing Berkshire Hathaway's shareholders $1 billion by betting against the dollar. He forgot that the reason the dollar is holding its value is that China

You don't need posted guidelines to know that this behavior is wrong.

I was puzzled by that too, but when I deleted the cookie from panopticlick.eff.org it no longer claimed I was unique among 60-some thousand, but among half that number.

Mathematicians never complain that "this crusty-ass math is over thirty years old! " Or writers: "OMG, English is really old. Can't I use something newer like Esperanto?"

I just bought it and replaced my crummy old Find in Page bookmarklet in Mobile Safari with it, then gave it a test-drive. It's GREAT! Exactly what I always wished for. Thank you vais for creating this!

Cheapskates know the price of everything, and the value of nothing.

Absolutely right! Bookmarklets are software like any other and deserve to be treated both by their creators and their users with the same respect and expectations that any other software gets. Great work, by the way-I'm happy you took a cra

This headline is terrible by the way. The original headline at Mobile Orchard is much better.

There are plenty of iPhone apps out there that aren't really apps at all, but just content of one kind or another-books, recipes, music. The beauty of the App Store is that content that could never be monetized on the open web now can be, a

For physical items, that's true, but to receive data, you make copies of it. Does your file upload process buffer an upload in RAM before writing it to disk? Two copies. That's why EULAs can even exist, because to install your software, you

Interesting story, disappointingly unreflective and myopic discussion here. Buying a computer from Amazon is only cheaper because of US law unfairly privileging internet retailers over bricks-and-mortar. The sales tax pays for things in you

This headline is poor. Here's my attempt at better: "Is the Fed artificially propping up demand and prices for equities?"

The whole thing is a hate site. It exists for the sole purpose of one man's axe-grinding against another. This is a low-value pursuit and a complete waste of time. As for specific "hate speech" that I disliked, try the comment about a "cold

Anonymous hate speech is tedious. It's not even any good, he just reads like a Slashdotter with nerd rage. Edit: it's also already a failed site. Its name pretends to a comprehensiveness that is belied by the meager three dates on which he

What sales numbers or statistics would have helped you predict what the iPhone would be like before you knew anything about it other than "Apple is working on some kind of a phone"? All we know today is that Apple is working on some kind of

He's only been writing the piece since September: http://twitter.com/gruber/status/7250169522 . Does most speculation about Apple's next move strike you as something that much care was put into?

by dreyfiz 17y ago
The author's analysis is top-notch because he actually understands what the newest incarnation of Apple is about, unlike most of the people who write about Apple.

This is a very low quality post with a misleading headline and no useful information in it, and it should be deleted. I'm mad that I wasted my time.
