Your comment got me excited -- but I looked up the size of the Z3 "compact" and it is larger in every dimension than my iPhone 5s.

There's probably a lot of sample bias. FB users that participated in the meme probably don't represent the universe of readers. I'd guess that the meme participants skewed towards young adults.

Really? I thought that looked like one of the neatest things about it. I imagine that people will find all sorts of creative ways to use it for quick communication.

For a company that prides themselves on style and design, that is one ugly press release.

I don't have anything insightful to say. I'm just really sick of this crap and wish that US banks and retailers had incentives that would lead to smart-card adoption.

That's actually really awesome that he has screenshots of all of his old homepages. I wish I had thought to do that.

Fuji's X cameras are also great in this regard. I ditched my DSLR setup for the X system and haven't regretted it for a second.

http://www.nerdkits.com They have a great PDF that explains things from the ground up. You end up with a homemade "Arduino" that you can use as the basis for additional projects.

Maybe they didn't want to bring down their average comment score? I'm not saying that is a good reason, just a possible reason.

I completely agree. And for the times that I have to work with Arduino libraries, etc, I use the ino command line toolkit. [0] [0] http://inotool.org

How much you get paid for a job isn't solely determined by how difficult it is. It is determined by supply and demand (and difficulty is one of the ingredients in supply). My impression is that unions and licensing also severely limi

You're absolutely right -- my setup comes with a lot of limitations. They are ones that I'm happy living with, but when family and friends ask for advice on passwords I point them to 1Password. Hopefully Mitro will become my new

I'll use this as an opportunity to give a shout out for my new favorite password manager: pass [0] It uses gpg to encrypt passwords that are then stored locally, but can be synced using Dropbox, rsync, unison, etc. It is a command lin

I was hoping that the article would tell which of the re-branded ryes from MGP is the best value. If a bunch of "distilleries" are just packaging up the same stuff, which is the cheapest?

I think it is a great example of wabi-sabi. [0] Also, as other commenters have pointed out, it gives the ad an organic, hand-made feel. It is something that you could put together at home with some nice lighting, a camera, and iMovie. [0]

And now, every day for a year, everyone gets to wake up and wonder if this is the day that they will get laid off. Why can't they wait and make the announcement once they know who they will eliminate and do it in one swift action? Why

It definitely took stylistic cues from pi, The Social Network, and Hackers. There were some good ideas and a few good scenes, but overall it was pretty bad -- as many other commenters have detailed.

Great timing, as I've just started to explore Haskell in the last few days. First, I really like the style of the new site. My only gripe is that the section with the lecture hall photo and the videos right below it don't seem li

Thanks for posting this! I just read my first Egan book (Permutation City) and was wondering which one to read next. I thought Permutation City was outstanding. I put the book down several times in awe and to think more about his ideas.

You're sort of on the right track with this (and I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted). The difference in talent of the top 250 or so CEOs is actually very small, but the huge size of modern companies means that even a

Great idea for a project. I'd really like to see it done with professional artists that work for leading fashion magazines in each country. It seems hard to take too much away from the current project because the edits are probably d

I would be very excited if it had a very low lag screen for note taking. Something along the lines of this: http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/9/2856795/microsoft-high-perf...
