Which developers? I’ve never heard of anyone using whatever.localhost in their code, assuming it will map to loopback? Sane developers use localhost, or localhost.localdomain in some cases.

> should not be using .localhost if the target is not running on your loopback interface, resolving localhost to anything but loopback is considered harmful. I have heard this before, but not really seen any great arguments as to why. Su

You’re making a good case for something other than IPv6. And since we’re running out of IPv4 addresses, we will need to switch to something else, eventually.

Karma killed Gawker. Its whole business model was evil, and sooner or later some of the many, many people they were evil to, were bound to seek revenge.

At least as far as I understand the article, EUs program is both about the legal right to (try) to repair things (which I have nothing against), but also to “force vendors to design products for longer life and easier maintenance.”. ie. the

That might sound nice, but smartphone producers can’t support any untrained idiot without a cleanroom opening devices and getting dust inside the screen assemblies and ruining the waterproofing. Like it or not, at the level of miniturisatio

So, is your phone waterproof? How’s the reliability? How well does it handle being dropped? Building a small amount of concept phones is one thing, shipping (and supporting) 100 million devices a year, with extended warranties, quite anothe

Repairing and recycling are very different discussions. To my knowledge, recycling eletronics is no more a problem than it’s always been. Companies like Apple have pretty impressive recycling efforts. And repairability? I don’t see the prob

Clueless legislation. When you look inside a modern smartphone or laptop, you’ll find that all available space is crammed with components or batteries. If you want components to be replaceable, you’d need much more space for doors and hatch

Yeah, it certainly looks rather sinister.

Yeah, I’ve seen the same, to the point that I’ve actually considered getting a Gmail account for my business, because customers not receiving important e-mail is bad for business.

In the younger, private mail account demographic, I’ve seen as much as 80% of some e-mail lists being Gmail accounts. For business, Exchange is still king, but Gmail is gaining on them.

That’s fine for you, but believe it or not, there are actually people who sign up for newsletters voluntarily because they want to stay informed about something. Google shouldn’t try to override the user’s preference about receiving newslet

When I saw the friend was using Mailchimp, it made a lot more sense. I get lots of spam from Mailchimp (ie. people subscribing me to their newsletter, without my consent), and complaining to Mailchimp about it seems to have no effect. So si

If the blowback from your evil deeds is unpleasant, perhaps you should stop being evil instead of complaining about those who revealed them.

I especially like the delicious irony of the third-last sentence: > Don’t show up in other people’s spaces and communities without invitation demanding to receive their time and attention.

I think the best thing you can to support open source phones do is to get a Firefox OS device. Edge is a nice gimmick, but will likely be a dud, even if its funding goes through.

Yeah, it's a complete non-answer. It does not explain at all what might cause AppC to contact clients and demand license agreements.

This sounds a bit fishy – how could Appcelerator even get an app pulled from the app store? DMCA?

I'd say every minuted wasted reinventing the wheel is a minute that was not spent solving interesting problems. I'm not sure what you're referring to when you talk about fixes that would discourage innovation or contribution. I'd say I sugg

Thanks for the tips – I do look forward to the stuff that Isaac and friends are cooking up with more metrics, but I'd still like to see more collaboration and less duplication :)
