I'd sign up for it. On the list of "best options" for my vegetative body, this would rate fairly highly. But yeah, like assisted suicide, there are people with non-aligned motives who could be incentivized to coerce a decisio

In my experience, yes. If you give blood, they will test it in all sorts of ways, and if you are identified as having an unusual helpful factor, they will reach out and encourage you to continue donating.

Resigning may have been the only honorable option under those circumstances, to be fair. But I don't think the Org would have spit you out at the CTO or SVP level, even after the controversy. The boneheaded move was elevating you in th

Imagine saving 2000 lives by sitting down for 30 minutes with a coffee and biscuit. What they don't say is whether these 200 donors constitute more or less than 100% of the clinical need for anti-D plasma. If my contributions were that

When I first moved to the city, I had a mockingbird in a small copse of trees right outside my bedroom window, open to the summer heat. He imitated car alarms all night. I envisioned him as a punk rock kid who liked to replay our human obno

How recently? FWIW I use Firefox with Google Docs/Sheets extensively, with no issues.

Also, the Sidebery extension for Firefox is great for vertical tabs.

You're missing a critical part. Eich's donation was well-known. The lists are public. Lots of Mozilla folks were aware and unimpressed, but they tolerated it because Eich (CTO) was a respected member of the corp with a long histor

Myrvhold has a bad rep in the tech industry due to Innovation Ventures. But re: Modernist Cuisine , I've always puzzled over the COGS and ROI math. Despite the high price, he might actually be selling at cost. A lot of effort went int

Are you really so blinkered that you are surprised to learn that people on the outside often have a negative view of VC? The horror stories are legion. It's much harder to find the stories of ordinary or good people in the industry. Si

The first time I saw a bald eagle was about a mile's walk into the woods (no paths), in a marshy area in a northeastern state forest. We surprised each other, and all I could do is stare, stunned, while s/he took flight about 20 y

Right, some kind of phase-in would be necessary. The opposite damage I'm talking about is forcing people to lose their houses for inability to pay current-FMV property taxes. Mostly older/retired/fixed income people. This wou

Option + o yields: ø in the textarea box. ... and then, in my Firefox configuration, unexpectedly navigates me to HN's /show page. FWIW, Option + O yields: Ø ... and then performs the same navigation.

Prop 13 is a disaster, but it was not the product of any specific political persuasion. It was even well-intentioned, but the unforseen (although predictable in direction if not magnitude) consequences are in fact disastrous. I have wondere

I think we're talking past each other. Of course you don't owe them anything. And the disclosure is a gift, unless you also use it for self-promotion, which is the usual compensation model aside from bounty programs. But if you wa

No, your "correctness" is established. The credibility of your report is established. But your credibility as a professional non-extortionist is absolutely still in question, unfortunately. Again, I've been on both sides. Bei

I think your email report was good. I think your blog post was a bit juvenile. Amusing maybe, but you're a professional and there's no need to resort to name-calling. Let the toddler's behaviour speak for itself. You don&#x27

Like I said, it was "good", and better than most. But as the reader of lots of these emails, I'm always happier to hear from someone who is able to establish their credibility and intentions with public evidence from the be

FWIW, I get several of these emails per week, as the first-reader of security@ emails, and they're almost always scams, sales pitches, or poorly-disguised bounty sniffers. I can't even count the number of times I've been info

You raise good points. :) Actually I like "hmf" despite my usual distaste for the dilution of "ph" to "f". The "ph" in "hmph" seems incidental, so it does not trigger me, I guess! There is a

3% can be "small" in the sense of operationally-insignificant/low-ROI, even at Apple's scale, when you consider that they only have a handful of models (currently five) shipping simultaneously. Figure most of those 3%
