And General Alexander should get a costume that doesn't make him look like one of the Love Boat crew. Cheap ad hominems only detract from the actual arguments to be made. Ad hominems that focus on an individual's clothing are e

I think the best analogy for something like this is getting coupons/ads/"special offers" in the mail. They aren't sent out completely indiscriminately (good distro strategies will use a fair amount of segmentatio

which IMHO is upheld primarily due to confirmation bias I agree; this was my point. Its frustrating to trot out a trite middlebrow dismissal for when we don't like something and to pretend it doesn't exist otherwise.

This is the first front-paged post I know of where nobody's invoked Betteridge's Law of Headlines, which I find particularly ironic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines

How is that quote unsupported by the press release? The press release states: "The former employee's searches took place on this employee's workplace computer."

Just curious: why are you reading code on your phone? I've heard of doing basic web-dev stuff via mobile (using stuff like Diet Coda) but rarely anything else.

That claim has three parts: - She was visited by government authorities. - Those government authorities were federal agents. - She was visited because of what she searched. Of those three parts, the first was the only one confirmed (the sec

This is somewhat akin to saying, "Are these the same programmers that had NO IDEA the dotcom bubble in 1999 would burst? If so I think I've had quite enough of their opinions."

This is a tangential point, but that quote is idiotic. I've called most of my best friends assholes (and much more vulgar expletives), never in a serious manner. If anything, it comes off as self-deprecating: > "That client t

I don't know why, but it's surprising to me that Dwolla has only been around for five years. They seem much older to me -- not in a bad way, I just feel as though they've been around much longer than they actually have been.

I think my ideal interpretation of how IP ownership should work would be that if you -- the creator -- own the IP, you deserve a share of value derived from it. But if you no longer own it (so, if you sell the painting, so to speak), then

I don't think there's anything intrinsically justifying that you should be able to make a living off a work you wrote 30+ years ago Throwing away the whole publishing model for a second, why not? If someone's willing to bu

I'm not trying to defend the commercial, merely disagreeing that it's the worst ever . I am not a big fan of TV but I have been a creative lead for a commercial series that won a Clio award, for what that's worth. That&#x2

Did you see the commercial? It actually is easy to blame marketing. Products don't become bad just because they're advertised poorly. The surface commercial was easily the worst commercial I've seen in my life Either you

On a semi-related note: I'd love to see studies about the effects Square has on tipping. My intuition says that it increases tipping but reduces overall CLV.

I think a good reason for this (since its pretty common practice) is unlike a barista, where you'll have a cup (or maybe two) tops during your entire interaction with him/her, you're gonna see that bartender many times over t

I think it's a useful exercise to remove the Internet from the equation here. This is equivalent to grabbing a megaphone and letting all of your customers know "Hey, look at Glass Lewis & Co! They didn't tip us for a bi

This has the advantage of shifting clients from asking the question "how much will this person cost me?" to "how much will this person make me?", too.
