The drama unfolding on their forum seems messy. Apparently someone reported them to FinCen out of spite? Apparently weev is involved?

That's more or less what I thought as well, but I've never seen them do that before, even for other articles about non-English-speaking ethnic populations. The fact that translators were already involved in so much of the reportin

I've never seen an article offered in English, Korean, Chinese and Spanish all at once. Is this more common than I know or does the Times just think this is a really important piece?

Knut Hamsun got rid of his Nobel Prize by giving it as a gift to Joseph Goebbels. It takes all kinds.

This is the subject of the Tenth Amendment. There are enumerated powers, duties, etc. of the federal government, enumerated proscriptions for the states, and everything else is up to the states.

I don't know the data there either but considering just three people who led rather exceptional lives among millions of others isn't a great way to draw a conclusion

The obvious problem here is that Facebook, Twitter, Path, an airline website: these are all public or essentially-public sites and programs that most designers can and do use and therefore know where they succeed and where they fall short o

Oy vey. I don't know what George Carlin has to say on the subject of idiomatic constructions in English, but if we lived in a world where phrases could only be used in the most literal understandings of the literal definitions of their

I don't know of any public libraries that handle their own general ebook lending. They use services like Overdrive, and in the case of Overdrive how the actual ebook file is served depends on which type of ebook it is. For ePubs, the f

I've already toggled "Reduce Motion" on, not because the movement was making me ill, but just because I thought the effect looked somehow bad. The parallax effect on the homescreen is nice enough, but far too subtle to justif

"Logical Positivism" has been roundly debunked, but I think some of its principles, and those of the movements that came before and after it, are important and applicable. I call a lot of these "logical positivism" more

Yeah, sure, but that doesn't make "those who were never born" any more meaningful to argue about than, you know, the present bald King of France or whatever.

I guess it just doesn't look that bad to me. The buttons particularly seem fine, but you could reasonably say that they stand apart from the rest of the UI in some way. That the timer is still using a picker like this at all instead of

"Those who were never born" doesn't strike me as a concept with much logical positivist value.

I'm not sure I follow your criticism of the clock app. It looks the same to me, albeit "flatter".

The new alert banner is enormous! It clearly seems to have been designed with the iPhone 5+ in mind. At least the new ringtones and chimes are sort of lovely and not corny like the "Classic" ones.

Tumblr has weird bugs that seem to involve character escaping. Searching for tags that have slashes in them seem to end up parsed as URL segments and will return 404s, for instance.

You can "hide" the space added for justification better between sentences, since most readers would notice and be distracted by too much variable space between letters and words. That looks to be what's happening in some of t

Meta-gripe: the navigation seems to use some kind of asynch loading without pushing to the browser history stack, and I'm finding it very difficult to move back and forth from the ToC to chapters. Maybe this can be addressed.
