In a few years you'll probably get to the point where you don't prefer less invasive solutions but will pick the right tool for the job. If you know you'll be iterating rapidly but will stay within the confines of 'standard CRUDdy app' then

Hi Seth, since you're here, can you help explain how the Google+ OAuth relates to the GMail OAuth? Are they just using different scopes and can you authenticate with both in one go or are they really separate APIs?

IANAL but I expect that if that specific women read this comment she'd now be in a position to sue for discrimination quite effectively.

Skip 50 seconds into the video and you'll see the killer feature here: a seamless handoff to your companion mobile app. It seems they're even offering analytics with it: https://developers.google.com/+/features/play-installs

It seems that someone could make a killing by building a service where you: 1) can invite a small group of recruiters who have gained your trust 2) keep an up-to-date record of what it would take for you to switch (whether it's Facebook off

Americans don't really vote, they just choose between two dictators every four years.

I'm Dutch so I couldn't agree more, but unless you're a professional lobbyist there's not much else you can do.

I'd say building a business that improves these issues is close to the best we can do to help those directly affected by the system. I can imagine an app that would help the uninsured to survive a hospital without going bankrupt could do qu

I'd say having a meaningful conversation with a dolphin would be a much bigger mindfuck. For all we know we could be discussing how the transition to Kantian philosophy played out slightly different for them in a few years.

That's a very specific diagnosis made from a quite widely interpretable blog-post. I'm sure you mean well but these kinds of off-the-cuff diagnoses are, if not wrong, rarely of any benefit to the diagnosed.

Dolphins are exactly why I feel SETI is such a misguided (in a sweet way) effort. Here we are, searching for extraterrestrial intelligence while we can't even communicate with the other intelligent species on our own planet. Glad to see we'

We're still working on automated transcription for VideoView so I'm afraid I can't search for key phrases like I would normally do ;) For the Dutchies who might be able to help; it was from a show at least 5 years old but maybe even 10 ab

It was an episode of a Dutch documentary series from over 5 years ago so I don't think I'd be able to find it.

The last 'she' was the aid worker, who was indeed being comforted by the tribe woman in her last moments. I've edited it for clarity.

Whenever I think of our society's relationship with death I remember a documentary I once saw about an aid worker who travelled with a nomadic tribe in Africa for a while. During her stay one of the tribe's elders decided she had had enough

If you read the article carefully you'll see that the author is sort of trying to weasel his way out of a bind. From what I can tell the author 1) only partially charged the battery 2) didn't plug it in overnight 3) pushed the car to it's

It's probably not so much about the 2 miles but rather having a stretch of start-stop driving instead of much more energy efficient highway driving. The author tries to put a nice spin on it here by saying he understood that start-stop driv

He's a schizophrenic but quite a brilliant one. He wrote this entire OS in assembler: http://www.sparrowos.com/ If it disturbs you you can always turn off showdead (or if he made a new account, wait until it's banned as it soon will be.)

I'm just talking about rendering a page based on what you specify in HTML/CSS, not the component model you might want to add behind. I'm pretty sure there's no technology more optimized for displaying content-rich visual information than HT

If you step back and look at these apps they basically are JS VMs with HTTP capabilities with a very powerful visual templating engine driven by HTML/CSS.

Every system is flawed; the ones after high-school as well. I'd suggest following hkmurakami's advice and figure out a way to bend the system to your will. It's a much more valuable lesson in the longrun.

When talking with a friend of mine about me having dropped out of college because I was too bored, he once said: "If you were that smart you would've just finished it next to all your other stuff." I was pretty much this kid, or close to

They're a few thousand responses away from receiving an official response from the government; giving it a little extra push now doesn't seem unwarranted. I'd say it's a tragedy that the response has already died down this much this quickly

Amazing work! I really love seeing the 'explosions' when some news happens in the Netherlands and Switzerland yesterday. One thing I'm curious about though is if you could make it so that you see the time per time zone. I'm assuming the rep

If it's anything like StackOverflow then the focus will most likely be on nailing the gamification of moderation. As far as building it for a real community goes; judging from their 'Buy it' page it seems that's exactly what they're plannin
