   I'll be honest with you, I wasn't really thinking about the NoScript case when writing the post. I'm not sure if NoScript has a way of telling you that you might be missing something on the page. Kinda like how Click2Flash tells me if it is

   I think their lander is a good example for developers who need some help designing their landers. Just focus on two key things. 1. Understand the purpose of your page and try to do the least possible. Ex: explain what the product does or cr

   I think the relationship between IQ and effort is due to two factors upbringing and our understanding of the self. The upbringing factor is easy to see; a smarter child doesn't work as hard growing up since he isn't challenged enough in sch

   Thanks. We are doing something similar and are running into some constraints with this setup.

   Could you go into a bit of detail about the performance tweaks that you are referring to. If not can you point me to some articles that do so. Thanks. I'm assuming you mean tweaking MySQL just for k/v store usage.

   The most important takeaway for me is that people have a hard time telling the difference between the perceived value and the real value of things. So if you can't increase the real value of things, go and increase their perceived value ins

   Good stuff, liked it a lot. And I did not know it Posterous as in preposterous as opposed to post-erous.

    I think its a good idea; instead of going after email overload as a whole, go after a sub problem that it creates. Please, fix the lander. It looks way too close to http://www.getballpark.com/ but only worse. If the metalab guys haven't t

    I like that expression. It pretty much sums up what they do. It was fun at first but grows old and worse it begins to act against them. Now even if they make a good point against the VC approach I'm less inclined to take their argument for

    I'll be honest with you, I stopped reading when I got to the second paragraph. Mentally I read the first bit and went "I get it". I scrolled down and the word vomit caught my eye. Then I looked at the requirements. Went back and searched fo

    Just finished watching it. The story is truly fascinating. I started off thinking "we have been lucky to find a case like hers". Then I realized that if her cells could practically survive anything, the odds of us finding it are not as bad

    I've noticed this behavior on quite a few sites recently. It was annoying since I was trying to quote a bunch of sites and I had to remove the links at the end every time. Now it makes me double check every time I copy and paste. At first t

    I understand exactly what you mean and I started doing it at a very young age. The end result as you described is the alienation effect you described. The other interesting thing I found is that if I deal with somebody whom I don't need to

    That article made me smile. I've had the same experience, where I've gotten some really great unbiased help and advice from people and I intend to pass it on in the future. But putting that in perspective with the 37s and GS case; I'm not s
