I think the lines between a single page app and full page reloads needs to be blurred. Most people won't know the difference and the back button needs to behave consistently. For that reason, I think that pushState here would make more

Completely agree that open source is critical to making claims about security. Else you're asking people to trust you. Not to be pedantic but the gotcha is that you can't know they're using the open source software as-is. If

I wish we hadn't come to a point as a society where we try and eliminate any amount of unstructured time for children. I'm not sure any of us know what the point of all these "activities" are.

I find parallax scrolling to be ineffective. Call me old school but it takes a well understood action (scrolling) and overloads it to perform animations. Animations which often times do not add much value besides "flair". An ineff

I wish as a child I had activities that filled my days and parents too busy to take to them.

I've been on both sides of the dialog and unfortunately inside of a big company it's about extracting the maximum amount of value. You need to position your company as being the end of that extraction as opposed to a means. When I

TL;DR - if a company is just fishing there's some quick ways to weed them out I think there are ways to vet these opportunities. Some signals for me have been. 1. Is the person reaching out to you a decision maker? 2. Are they willin

The more separated someone is from a situation the less they relate. People buying smartphones are removed enough from the working conditions at Foxconn that it's of little significance. It applies in almost every corner of the world.

Sorry you had troubles logging in. But thanks for using it. To your point, the idea is/was great but if it wasn't good enough that you stopped using it because of a login issue that emphasizes my point. I agree it's a great

I'm not convinced they aren't. I live in Sunnyvale with a wife, 2 kids and a single income. Many of our friends with similar circumstances are considering leaving and some already have. There'll always be new blood that offse

The terms still have to be compelling to be acquired. Acquisition isn't a panacea by any means. The details can make shutting down a company more attractive then going through with the acquisition. A simple example is an acquisition th

I think there's lots of things that can go wrong in an acquisition which fall under "agreeable terms could not be met" . It's hard to tell if a letter of intent was drafted or signed which would clearly lay out the term

Absolutely terrible. I have the feeling that Jordan knows exactly what he's doing. The amount of $20,000 is a lot but it's not that much once you start to hire lawyers and file a suit or go into arbitration. Sounds like he's

The comments on this are pretty depressing. I'm hoping they're from folks without kids. This has very little to do with efficiency and optimization. This is probably an unpopular perspective but here goes anyways. If you've g

I would think there's a high correlation between working more and being stressed or tired. Wanting less of the latter doesn't negate the former.

I'm on an iPad and using Safari or Chrome renders the page fairly unusable. Scrolling doesn't work and it does appear to go to more of a home page than one specific to an article about California.

Assuming there wasn't significant interest as a free service then charging for it won't solve the current problems. I think a better alternative to open sourcing it would be to try and sell it for a couple thousand dollars. Take t
