Thank you. If you really want to attract scorn the question could extend to race as well. Too often we confuse equality with uniformity. Woman tend to be worse at math, black guys tend to be great at basketball. Who cares? We're all people.

I have little doubt this is essentially what happened-- quite possibly operating completely within the law. Perhaps they do publish a book. But we've all heard about "directory" services like this and I dare anyone to keep a straight face a

If the claim of HALF A BILLION dollar fraud is true it seems unlikely that Obie would not know something about it. If my buddies and business associates made that kind of money I sure as hell would know everything about it. HOWEVER, this

"That talk about racial equality is a nice way of saying you just want a better seat on the bus. " -- talking heads, 1955. I don't think you get it. The question is whether copyright is morally right. Rosa Parks sat on the back of the bu

Yes, a private dropbox/pirate bay among your trusted network of friends is 100% win. Easy to use and virtually invincible to RIAA claims. Heck, include a VLC browser plugin to make it all seemless.

My wife was moving money around and overdrew about a month ago... She didn't really like Chase to begin with so she walked into the branch and just said "I want to close all three of my accounts right now" and they ended up removing the cha

I agree, he keeps using "community" and "mahalo" in the same sentence.

I worked in the talent booking industry for years and saw people put up with the same endless shit stream because ultimately they are using their jobs to give them self-worth. If you want to maintain your dignity there are always other comp

I've been registered twice as long as you and have three times the karma so I don't think I'm the one who is confused.

Wahwahwah. This guy sounds like he has never used open source software before. I have a complex mongodb install in production with no problems. Every time I "bundle install" it breaks something because everything is running edge and the API

Google has a cult of data that I think is pretty dehumanizing. Perhaps they look ugly because they don't ultimately give a damn about the design -- only that the data told them they are losing market share.

Short of new data privacy laws there is an onward march that will result in everyone being rated for everything they do -- and you won't be able to do anything about it. This is already the case with credit bureaus, etc, but it's gonna get

Israel puts heavy emphasis on human behavioral screening and it's fantastically successful. It seems SPOT is a heavily watered down version. I'm sure all the expensive technology vendors will love to point out SPOT is a failure. http://www

Come on dude, this is the worse writing ever. The best quote she could find was from a COMMENTER on a random internet forum?! She tries to associate the belief of a random guy on an internet forum with 60m evangelicals. Comical.

Totally missing the point. It's not about averting disaster it's about living a life. If your wife is a higher priority than impressing an audience then it makes perfect sense. Brad just has different priorities than you, ie, he doesn't giv

I would love two things in a plugin: 1) let me "flag" stuff from the main page or /newest -- make it ajax so it doesn't interrupt my flow. 2) Add a "block" function next to each post and comment. One click and I never see that persons submi

"Site search that suggests frequent phrases" made me think how awful most site search is. I'm waiting for a startup to make it simple and easy to add weighted faceted search to any website.

The problem is that UX requires business knowledge, psychology, design, and code all working in concert with each other. The education system does not treat people to think holistically. It's why designers, coders and biz dev all hate each
