Let's say you strike a deal with a state to build a toll road. They agree, and you borrow a billion dollars, build the road, and start collecting tolls. It doesn't cost the tax payer anything, and the people who use it do so voluntarily.

If every single american made exactly $50k/year, then the bottom 50% would have zero percent of the wealth (spend everything they make), and the top 10% would consist of frugal people, who save 60% of their income every year and have 70% of

The biggest problem with the built in color meter, is that it puts the '#' in front of the hex color when copying to the keyboard. This makes it impossible to paste in applications that are expecting no more than 6 characters. e.g. #[_____

FYI, it uses canvas. If canvas is not supported (IE < 9), then fallback image is needed.

It is going to be tough to market. Estate planners are lawyers and thus can't ethically take affiliate payments, so they have little reason to push your products. I assume you are aware of http://LegacyLocker.com/

I also develop a web application used by schools. I have no problems taking the system down in the middle of the night for 30 minutes. Schools are quite possibly the most forgiving customers. Their revenues come from the government, so i

This is not my cup of tea. 1. I don't like magic string names like "AjaxExample1". Why not return an object, and use: var AjaxExpample1 = amplify.request... 2. It is not clear how you mix get parameters and post data. If I want to POST to

I use Paypal, Authorize.net, and First Data, and we use their built in recurring payment options. It is torture. For First Data, I have to maintain a screen scraper because they don't even have a Reporting API.

I am visting the marketplace from China via a proxy server in St Louis, and the site is in half spanish, with Euro pricing. My Google account location is set to New York. There is clearly a bug somewhere.

I haven't lived in Japan, but my understanding is that it is bizarre. For instance they don't do organ transplants at all. period. none. They also visit the doctor 15 times per year on average, which means they go to the doctor when they

I agree with you. Defamation / libel laws are far more strict in Canada than in the US. This is clearly going to interfere with Chris Russo's ability to earn a living as a security researcher. I have a feeling he is going to get paid to

There is no burden of proof in the court of public opinion. There is no 5th Amendment either. Imagine this scenario, your boss says to you: "20 of our employees are telling me you piss on the toilet seats." You respond, "You have no proof"

There is still a huge difference between declining all ads unless they are explicitly approved, and having people explicitly disapprove ads. I know the rules quite well, have never had an ad disapproved, but the process is just frustratingl

Yeah, I have heard that 95% of their revenues come from the top 5% of customers. I spend about $10k/month on ads and still get shitty service, and long review times. I do know people that buy $250k+/month, and their ads don't even get rev

"let's take a good look", "let's figure out", "let's have a vibrant discussion". Is there ever a time for action? What evidence would you need to decide that a forced attrition program is a good idea?

The author forgot to mention that Google renders the text, then places it on the image. Bing and Yahoo positions then renders, which leads to bad font aliasing. Better to explain with a picture: http://imgur.com/sy06x Notice how the goog

Why would anyone assume that because a shape converges, the arc length must also converge? A troll can also prove that 2 == 1 by continuously folding the peaks of an equilateral triangle down to the baseline. Another fun one: $1 = 100¢ $.1
