I agree with the sentiment, but the point of the post wasn't that working 60 hour weeks is wrong - it was that boasting "woe is me" having voluntarily worked long hours isn't impressive. As you say, results are what impr

I've wanted to bite the bullet with this, but not enough of a security expert to do it confidently. How does this stack up? I like the idea of keeping someone logged in, then they can choose to log back using whichever means they decid

There are good points made here. I suspect there's also a bit of herding going on. In Germany, for example, it's pretty easy to find major websites which are fixed-width, left aligned and looking dated. There's no real geogra

There's a language button right on my Nexus 4 keyboard for fast-switching between languages. I would never need to write in more than one language in the same message, so it's as simple as 2 taps to switch the entire phone diction

This is good news, and hopefully websites will vote with their feet. Stripe may work out more expensive than PayPal, but that extra cost is probably offset by the amount spent on heart medication.

In what way were these passive income stories? I think the moment they went to a conference or "obsessively" researched anything should be a fairly large clue.

If you compile Bootstrap from its LESS files you can pick and choose which parts you include. Also means you can override a lot of the default mixins fairly simply.

An interesting side effect of prompting credit card sign-ups is that the visitor is engaged in getting use out of the service immediately. They're running against a ticking clock (14 or 30 days) to get whatever service running. Those who do

These emails work staggeringly well. Most responses are "I'm OK thanks", but people think they're genuine enough to respond to. Even when automated, I've still seen many tech founders, nevermind lay users, responding to these as if they've

"What’s interesting is how quickly Twitter reacted to the situation, which makes one wonder who might have brought the violation, or issue, to Twitter’s attention." Err....TechCrunch, two hours earlier? Or is that the joke?

AirBnB is a beautiful site and better than any hotel booking site. However, it falls down when hosts are unresponsive after booking. Reminds me of eBay from long ago. We thought of eBay as shopping - until a seller goes AWOL.
