I had a similar experience. I was taking a flight home from Arizona, and the TSA agent stopped me because my drivers license was expired. He let me board because my Sam's Club card (which I don't believe has an expiration date) had my pho

Dwolla did some questionable things with chargebacks last year [1,2], and you may have heard about that. Unfortunately, it was apparently in reaction to scammers. The scam, I think, was to transfer money from your bank to Dwolla, move it f

We're designing web apps using jQuery Mobile. We have been using a theme that looks very much like iOS - with the right pointing carets, for example. I hadn't really considered that it'll look foreign to the Android user. Are there toolki

I envision a day where an xbox game is being played by unsuspecting gamers, and "consensus guidance" is used to fly drones. Gamers may be the most trained drone pilots. Remote killing could be free of post-trauma-stress-disorder, as the pi

My issue with Disqus' pseudonyms is that they don't seem to be personally owned. I selected a pseudonym, put in an email and a password, made a few comments... then I realized that some girl's photo is next to my comments! Apparently I hij

This headline is pretty misleading. Ryan never supported SOPA. He came out against it. And this event came after Reddit guys said they should pressure him. And then clueless Reddit guys take credit for successfully pressuring him. I woul

Not sure I agree. I wouldn't have been able to tell you what an insertion sort is, by name. But by looking at that image, I can describe it pretty well: Have an outer loop that counts from the first position in the list to the last positio

Then ask for a cash bonus. Or a disprroportionate share of the next few month's sales. Decide what you think is fair, and propose it. Being silently angry does no good. And you might just get what you ask for... or maybe better! Maybe yo

I agree wholeheartedly. Too many talented people are on the sidelines waiting for the perfect idea. Jump in! You can make a very goood living with a good idea, and that positions you well to find a better idea. The key is to provide valu

Tell me if I am understanding this: I can create an application, like a website for realtors (as a simple example), and then customers (like realtors) can pay me and get a hosted instance of my web app. Right? If so, cool!

>> "While I'm wasting my time doing X I could have actually been doing the more productive Y" is usually a lie. You also have to consider whether Y is cuter than X, and if she even likes you.

20+ years ago, when cell phones were fairly rare, I was in line at a Roasted Chicken franchise, and there was a large sign on the wall that said "for faster service, call your order in. 555-6789". So, while 5th in line, I called the number

I absolutely agree. In last night's debate, my son's stance was that financial transactions were win-lose, and that in order for the 1% to get rich, the 99% had to be worse off. Therefore it is right to "penalize the 1%". Louis CK seems to

I had a spirited debate yesterday with my 22 year old son about "Occupy" and increasing taxes on the 1%. Since this puts Louis CK firmly in the 1% (if he wasn't there already), it will be interesting to look at him as a case study. At the
