Yeah, I didn't understand that either. Maybe it's because I'm a weirdo, but the main reason I go to tech conferences is to make friends, who inevitably turn into business partners and clients.

Seems boneheaded for someone to even respond to an invite like that. If you don't like someone much, and they invite you to connect with them or something, just ignore the request. Simple and easy. I would never see the gain of explicitly t

Not many people take economics, and realize these 2 things are connected. Sad fact of life, but the main proponents of higher minimum wage laws are the same people who get hurt by the law in the long run.

Heh, reminds me of Ashton Kutcher in the movie "A Lot like Love". His startup (which ultimately tanked in the movie) was an online diaper store.

Extremely smart book. Read most way through his draft version a few months ago. Ordered it in paperback, looking forward to rereading the final copy. Seems pretty up the middle as he tends to attack all sides who spout off bullshit numbers.

Agreed. Looks like a pretty cool initial implementation too. Seems like it'd take a decent marketing push to get an initial user base (so that the site's actually valuable). Hopefully these guys are able to get some decent angel funding and

Seems like with technology, each of our life spans can be maximized. So if any organ fails, it can be replaced (or maybe preemptively replaced so it lasts longer). However, the biggest problem is going to be our brain cells. After 100-120 y

With good reason I think. It sort of makes sense to me since I've looked into it previously and been similarly horrified at how dumb it worked. I can't see any sane person using this trash over existing js components.

Fiddler is awesome. Does anyone know of a similar mac tool? I have little snitch, but it doesn't actually let you sniff what contents get sent back and forth. Fiddler killer feature is being able to sniff SSL content as well and decode it (

Even as someone who loathes pretty much all versions of IE, this is something I can get behind. I can bitch all I want about slow javascript, no rounded corners, and other css bugs in IE8, but its still 1000 times better than IE6. Upgrade a

Better let the developer know. In his screencast he chronicles building a blog app, in just about the most unappealing way possible.

I was seriously expecting an "April Fools" notice at the end of the video. This has got to be the worst product I've ever seen.

Agreed. Every country has loads of dirt and rock. Just no one wants to dig it up for slave wages. Once the price is right, we'll be happy to do the work.

I initially tried Backblaze however it didnt play nice with Mac OSX forks and special files. I ended up using the somewhat overpriced "Twin" on mac. The cool thing about it is it can just upload to S3 (as well as sftp, external drive, etc).

I love this tool. Been bookmarked. There's something seriously wrong with the web (or my usage of it). Whenever I need something like this, I cant find it. Go on google, search for any kind of tool. No matter how you word it, the results ne

It's just an op-ed piece from a less than tech savy business observer. He misses many of the details, but his overall political points are right on in my opinion.

Ditto. I read his book, and liked it. But this letter seems to try to force the point a little much.

"The largest wage losses are typically for workers who had long tenures at their previous companies." A small justification maybe for my tendency to always be switching companies, especially in the boom times. One, people are more likely to

Even for something as trivial as this, this is just one of those weird cases where you look around at the world, and want to yell, "what the hell is wrong with you people"? I don't understand why anyone would own a glossy screen.

Hopefully Cydia will gain traction. I've bought a couple apps on it already and its been a positive experience. It has the potential to be huge, however no VC firm will touch it since it also has the potential to be sued out of existence. I

After seeing Textmate crash for the thousandth time, I also made the jump back to VIM. Seems like a bit of a regression, but at least its stable and I dont have to worry that opening a large will crash every project I have open.
