I don't understand what's insightful or new with this article. Advertising is basically an arbitrage operation. To do it right one needs to look at the conversion funnel, figure out the ARPU for different advertising channels, prune campaig

Indeed. I still won't touch an Audi even decades after the 60 Minutes episode, even though it turned out to be false. Logically I know but logic only goes so far.

Can you flesh that out a bit?

I think we are in agreement. I like the idea of a "hole". Basically, if a new job is created at some company, then in the long run eventually someone unemployed has to get hired, it just might not be at the company where the new job was cre

One of the things I've wondered about what the long term impact of this policy is. If company A only accepts employed people, then when someone leaves company B for company A, a spot opens up at company B and maybe unemployed people can get

That's really overkill for a vim-powered wiki. All you need to do is to add: map gf :tabnew to your .vimrc. see also: http://idoh.com/post/2365733587/personal-wiki-using-vim

Every once in a while some company comes out with a really great solution to a problem. The most recent was with hipmunk and flights. When I used hipmunk for the first time, I had that feeling that after them, the whole landscape had change

They've been pretty key in advancing the state of the art^, so I don't know how you can say that. Maybe you don't have a sense of history. ^: I'm talking about search, mail, and maps specifically.

I think you got it - "If it bleeds, it leads". I can't fault them for maximizing revenues, but I'd advise everyone to avoid them, just like you'd avoid a casino or social gaming.

I checked out buffers - it's not clear to me why they are better than tabs. It seems like a different UI treatment for basically the same thing. Can you clue me in?

This is pretty nice! My wish for these types of things - can you just put out a big list key combos to browse through? I know the basic concepts of vim but I just want to see how the commands can be strung together. Something like: - ggVG:

Unfortunately Google Docs isn't ready for commercial use just yet. I use it at work and it is OK for small pieces of work but I'd not trust anything important to it, I've been burned enough by it.
