This is off-topic, but I find bootstrap dropdown menu code to be lacking in several areas: 1) I haven't been able to figure out how to have the same dropdown pop up on multiple triggers without cloning the menu for each trigger. 2) It doesn

Doesn't this already happen automatically by default because the first defense is to demand re-examination?

It's more complicated than that. Complexity is almost always more risky for the founders than the investors because of information asymmetry. Because the investors do a lot of deals, they understand all of the implications and side effect

You expect better from Zynga? Isn't this the same company that fired people immediately before the IPO so that founders could take back their stock options? "Being a meritocracy is one of their core values." http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/st

It's reported to run OK on the Nexus S device which is available used for around 125 - 150 USD. Another question for existing developers/users, how does the experience differ between the tier1 and tier2 devices? Here's the video of B2G on

I just took one out and back. The bike was good, but it whistled a little bit in the rain. The three speeds are great. I did have trouble docking the bike on my way back though and I had to go to a different station. I called the number

No. I saw three people riding these this morning on my 4 block walk to work and none of them were wearing a helmet. I have a personal rule though to always wear a helmet when riding a bike. On my monitor with the browser maximized, the b

I'm pretty pumped up about this. I brought my helmet with to the city today and I have my key. I'm going to ride to my appointment at lunchtime. This just made those fold up bikes that people bring on the railroad obsolete.

Yeah, it's not just Bloomberg. Most technology companies whose users are employees of medium to large companies are not seen as relevant here.

"Another way to put it is that there are lots of billionaires, just no tech-billionaires." False. From your hedge fund list, at least James Simons and David Shaw are tech billionaires and probably some more that I don't recognize. Also, on

I read your site and your system sounds very promising as I said in my previous post. It seems like you've identified some of the key problems with earlier noSQL implementations and that you're trying to solve them. Schema free was always

RethinkDB sounds like it's document oriented from their site: "RethinkDB is built to store JSON documents, and scale to multiple machines with very little effort. It has a pleasant query language that supports really useful queries like tab

I don't know why you're being downvoted. Even when you're using an oo language, there's not always a reason to force your query results into an "Object." Frequently the only object you need is a 2 dimensional data structure which could be

There's a lot of risks here for the buyer. Mostly risks that the seller fails to meet his side of the terms for any number of reasons. As the term becomes shorter, these risks are reduced, but then this contract kind of reduces to a retai

I agree. Even before the police scanner feeds, the news posts about the bombing were kind of like a filtered twitter search. While twitter is a better source of realtime information than cable news, it is very hard to filter out all the n

It's kind of silly. Fake news reports move markets...it happens [1]. This wasn't a crash...it was a 1% drop with an almost immediate recovery. There are definitely problems related to liquidity providers exiting the market too fast and n

It may make sense for some, and if your accounting of life only measures money/assets than it may universally make sense, but there are a lot of benefits to having kids earlier. I've met people in their early forties with kids who were ful

by nissimk 14y ago
I think you completely missed the point. What's good enough for the kids may not be good enough for the parents. It's the parents that are yearning to spend more time with their kids and to say yes more to the "play with me." Even more s

Why does google now tell me how long it will take to get home when I'm on my way to work? Is it just messing with me?

Honestly sometimes when I'm on my phone and I get a linked in email I won't click the link because the experience is so bad. I'm petty sure it starts with more than 2 possibly 4 redirects and then it shows you that spinner for a long time

The specs on the display are pretty bad. In the API examples, the one with the most text is the shopping list with 5 lines of short text. I want to look at longer text on a HUD device. Is this a limitation in the ability to create HUD ha

That's certainly true for interest rate swaps, but credit default swaps are actually quite similar to stocks. For example when Lehman filed and the stock went to 0, the CDS settled at 91.375 [1] meaning that the protection seller had to se

While cash securities markets (i.e. stocks and bonds) are not a zero sum game, derivatives markets (i.e. futures, options and all kinds of swaps) are zero or negative sum by definition. Also, derivatives markets are far larger in size [1].
