It could use a short privacy policy. Do you keep the email contents at all - even in a log?

I wonder what his advice is for people that care about privacy. All indications so far have been: don't worry about it. In my personal spectrum of concerns, having my machine occasionally violated by a virus is not nearly as disturbing as f

If someone has access to your email client you're hooped anyway. There is nothing stopping an extra security conscious user from deleting the email and changing their password right away. What it does is to give a convenience to users that

I just ask for an email address. I then email an auto generated password to the user. Their first login with the password I sent creates the account and takes them to their profile page which allows them to change their password or fill in

If you're purchasing from iTunes, the files have your email and other personal info in them which would give them a unique hash and differentiate them from the content that was popular/being deleted.

I didn't for me. Looking in my sent box the message had an inline stream rather than an attachment: <img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/7QAcUGhvdG9zaG9wIDMuMAA4QklNBAQAAAAAAAD/2wBDAAMCAgICAgMCAgIDAwMDBAcEBAQEBAg

I agree, that's something that https://www.jungledisk.com/ already does and frankly I just prefer dealing with one entity because the experience is better.

It is extremely limited. I just accepted this as a result of the limitations of a distributed datastore and disqualified GAE as a candidate for any query intensive apps I want to do. The other limitations I listed didn't seem to have archit

Nice feature, but not super important for new projects. I suppose it will make porting some existing projects over. I didn't remember seeing SQL on the roadmap however so I had another look ( http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/roadmap.h

I don't agree with the conclusion because I don't agree with the premise: that most programmers are irreplaceable ninja rockstars that single handedly make their employers millions a year. We're talking about average salaries not outliers t

Google "Bono piracy" and you will find lots of articles about a man making $100 million a year that likes to complain he is not making enough. I suppose he too is not entitled. The free enterprise system - the American way - is also about b

You're saying that your salary has no affect outside of your company. That's it's all internal accounting. I don't agree with that. Salaries will affect the price of your service. That price is paid by everyone else who doesn't work for you

In my city (Vancouver) only 7% of the workforce makes over 100k a year. I don't know what the professional breakdowns are but I would consider myself pretty fortunate if I was in that 7%. Hell, I consider myself fortunate even though I am n

I'm having a hard time trying to interpret your sarcasm. Are you saying 100k is a paltry salary and I would have a hard time finding programmers to work for that wage? BTW, I am an employee and not a employer. I would certainly like to make

If fair distribution is your concern then you should probably be more focused on the people at the bottom end making 20k-40k that could be making more. This article was not about those people. Employers will only pay as much as it takes to

Anyone who believes 100k is underpaid has serious entitlement issues they need to examine. You need to look around and see how the rest of the country/world lives. Sure google, apple, and others may generate enough revenue to pay people mor

Good luck to them, but contrast HP with Nokia. Unless they execute extremely well on the OS, store, dev tools, and price they will be releasing a memo like this eventually http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2195520

Yes you can probably whip out the Louis CK. I'll admit that part of it is acclimatization. I've come to expect good results all the time. That doesn't detract from the fact that results are bad for many searches and that the google monocult

Good stuff. I would have liked to read a bit more about how you present an unfinished prototype to clients. I find that it can be hard to get people to focus on functionality rather than presentation in prototypes. Did you have a designer i

Interesting, I wonder if this bulk micro financing of start ups could become a new financial product. Find 30 - 100 small start ups, give them all a whack of cash that's backed by a bond. Sell the bond and repeat.
