How old are you? If you are younger than 26 you can use your parents' health insurance, and if you are 26-27 you can get cobra coverage. Otherwise, check out http://www.healthcare.gov/ or http://www.ehealthinsurance.com -- convenient s

I'm being idealistic when saying this, but I really hope over the next few years that bloggers stop adding social links to sites. I don't doubt major sites like CNN will continue to flood pages with links, but it would be nice for the cont

This is a useless benchmark: there's no rhyme or reason for the version choices (rubinius?), the compile time is disregarded (which, for a one-off script, actually matters) and hello world is so trivial that it won't show any difference in

I wish there were a real example (to get a sense for the types of things he looks at), involving an open source project (how about coffeescript itself?)

In contrast to many who think that people are being shepherded to the search business, I wonder if Google is trying build a new "Bell Labs"-type research division, in which case this is good news.

"I made an offer to continue to host posterous.com and all the stuff on it but never received an answer." Have you tried making a public appeal (say, over twitter) to the Posterous owners? They may be able to talk with Twitter and arrange

" the implicit contract it entered with its early users is null and void." Does an API without a binding contractual agreement really imply future applicability? It's always a big risk to lean on another company's API for your product / bu

I fully agree with your mentality. When dealing with any technology for a business venture, you have to worry about the landscape a few years out. This happens to large companies too: for example, Microsoft axing Silverlight or Apple ax

The problem is that many of us have lost our flagging privileges (accidentally tapping "unflag" after tapping "flag" really quickly seems to remove flagging abilities), so by the time the right people can flag the article it might already h

I've always wondered if this type of speculation helps or hurts the chances of a deal (if the price runs before the offer is officially announced, then the suitor will need to pony up more cash)

Wouldn't it be better to set up an org, transfer the project to the org and add someone else? That way you can even transfer administrative jobs like commit access to others.
