Very slick setup && service! My one question: are there any safe-guards against people sharing sensitive information hidden in the html, e.g. user-auth tokens (like the ones you can find in HackerNews up-vote links: http://clipboar

I was surprised at how few web/consumer companies there were on this list--perhaps that is mostly a function of LinkedIn's demographic. Anyhow, I work at Arista Networks, and would be more than happy to answer any questions you guys have ab

I feel like k-means in in Lab color space would lend itself well here too. Either by picking a large k that you then narrow down by picking the highest contrast colors, or instead by running k-means multiple times with different k's until y

This is really cool, and playing with it made me smile. I wish it had two things: 1) A way to delete objects that you placed by accident. (perhaps there is a way to do this which I couldn't find). I keep going back a page and losing everyth

Looks really good! I think it would be useful if a two finger slide moved the cursor by word boundaries as opposed to speeding up the cursor. For example, in your video around the 1:00 mark, you two-finger swipe to get to the end of the lin

This is a prime example of how to not write a correction piece. The gist of the story is that they used a screenshot to verify somebody's identity, and it turns out the person faked it. However, instead of saying "we made a mistake and didn

What I find fascinating is that this seems to be a regular facet of cisco's culture. Some employees leave , start a start-up with access to Cisco's manufacturing/engineering resources, poach a bunch of employees from Cisco, then get bought

Until then, why do not we all just stay away from the linked-list for the time being? After all C++ is all about performance - and linked-list is not! No, thank you. Instead, why don't we try and understand the benefits and pitfalls of va

It is a good trend, but when people do it incorrectly, and then fail, the entire industry can just say "Ha, look, that direct-to-consumer model doesn't work." I want him to succeed. I want to be able to watch a trailer of his video, think i

His post seemed a bit off to me. I got the feeling that he's doing this because "Oh look, Louis CK made metric ton of money this way, lets see if I can emulate his success" rather than actually understanding the motivations for why consumer

This looks fantastic! Reminds me of padmapper, for cars. I'm really liking some of the things you've done to parse out information into a more digestible/searchable format. The dynamic filters, mousing-over-to-see-different-images, and all

On the flip side, the WSJ could say the exact same thing about Google, Facebook, Ars Technica, etc. Just because they offer a different viewpoint doesn't mean you should completely write them off. Instead, it is useful to read these types o

I understand how reserving usernames is good for encouraging sign-ups, but I don't see it doing much in the way of viral marketing. As for "private beta access," I hardly see how it can be viral when I have practically no information about
