   That would be nice, but it would have a lot of ramifications. Before setting the cookie, the browser would need to know if it's allowed, so presumably it would have to load some file. Perhaps this could be done in a manner similar to

   Or serve the untrusted content from a sub-subdomain, e.g. "foo.bar.CDN_HOST.com", so that you could only bomb bar.CND_HOST.com and not the entire domain

   Backbone may or may not be right for you. Fortunately it's small, and fairly easy to read. The annotated sources [1][2] for BackBone and Underscore are fairly accessible. Also, I would highly recommend adding an AMD loader like requi

   Interesting blip in the "Conversion Rates by page load time" graph. Wonder what the reason is for the conversion rate for 0-1 seconds being markedly lower than 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4? Also, that graph really irks me. Not enough contr

   Google has a long history of paying to acquire talent. I assume this isn't any different. Nest made an extremely popular in-home device; Google wants to buy that mojo.

   Coming soon: audio ads, broadcast throughout your home via your Nest Protect. Since it knows if you're moving, it can wait and play the ad when it knows you're there, allowing Google to charge a higher cost per impression.

   I agree, and on this site, over on the far right side, are some little rectangles you can click to jump between the sections (albeit still with the animations, but sped up).

   Cool. Congrats, and thanks, for opening everything up. It looks like you have not only opened it up, but invested significant effort into making it super easy to hack on (including a VM appliance!).

    You talk about the levels contributed by your community - will there be / is there a way for those to be shared under open licenses too?

    That makes sense - looks like WebM/VP8 support in browsers is a superset of Ogg/Theora support [1]. It would be silly to serve up Ogg/Theora unless it yielded better quality/bitrate (and I'm not up-to-date on how t

    That sounds like a "feature" which could be used in interesting ways.

    I imagine it's because your phone has hardware H.264 decoders, while GIF is being done in CPU.

    They offer the ability to playback in reverse, so I imagine it's three different formats, doubled so that there's a reverse copy of each video. If I had to guess, they're probably encoding MP4/H.264, WebM/VP8, and O

    I love the naming scheme (AdjectiveAdjectiveAnimal) you have used, and wonder whether or not it could hilariously backfire (e.g. the Scunthorpe/Buttbuttinate problem)

    Is it a link from your email? It is still weird that a UID is encoded directly in the URL, though.

    It is a concern either way. His point seemed to be that if it were hosted by an EU entity, then at least it would be bound by EU data privacy laws. I'm not super familiar, but I think those are more strict than US privacy laws, for w

    I think that yapcguy's concern around the data protection laws is not in relation to the contents of the picture collection, but rather the personal data, access logs, etc of the people using Flickr to search and view the collection.

    ...what do you do when most kids are getting the same top grades on tests? Give harder tests and adjust grades upwards accordingly. If everybody is blowing out your measurement scale, your scale needs to be higher.
