The addition that I think would make it scalable and worthwhile is to establish an interoperability standard via mail headers. Broadcast you're using this system with X-UsesMailTickets so that compatible clients can pre-fill their emails wi

Thank goodness I wasn't the only one confused by this. I stared at the code listing and stared at it, only to wonder what the difference was. :)

The inflammatory and rambly tone will likely cause a lot of people to miss what I think is actually a point worth considering: > A meritocracy is a system for centralizing authority in the hands of those who already have it, and ensurin

My personal hypothesis after seeing a lot of this sort of behavior on advertised pages of mine is that a small but significant portion of Facebook is trained to just click "Like" indiscriminately (or at least, at the barest hint of somethin

Ditto. I was going to upgrade for the light, but the lack of buttons are making me hold off. I can leave the lamp on. I love just barely squeezing my hand together to turn the page. It's almost a non-movement.

If you're doing web or mobile development or anything that is contracted out regularly, I highly recommend you make relationships with the creative/development agencies in your area. My experience is that the decent ones always have more le

What do you want folks? What one feature are you buying your phone based on? A stylus, a 20 hour battery, or a springy camera? The iPhone is crap! It doesn't have any of these! Pick your other substandard phone that has the one you want now

Huh. Really? I use whom all the time, and most of my friends do as well. Granted, a) we're all snobs, and b) we don't use it in every case we should, but we still use it. Maybe we're part of this little post 2000 resurgence: http://books.g

No need to go zero risk when the investment starts in your 20s. But of course, yes, inflation. But of course, you can draw from principal as well—that's how retirement funds usually work. I'll put it another way: Maybe it's not 'never worry

$6MM invested with a 6% return provides a $360k pa lifestyle just living off the interest. That seems like quite enough for houses, spouses (well—maybe spouse; alimony could eat into that quite a bit), cars, and children.

My reading is that it's sensationalistic in that they haven't actually built a 10x battery, only an anode that can power it. It does seem, however, that the 10x number is accurate (in fact, I don't see any 2x notes anywhere in the article).
