The last time I checked out Ghostery, it phoned home by design. Is this still the case?

Do you have any data to prove that 7 minutes is insufficient? Seems like the people proposing this did their homework; it's only fair to expect you to do the same.

IMO the easiest way to poke a hole in the argument is to say: ok, now what happens when you want to add the coach of the team? and the owner? Adding them to the Players list would be problematic considering they're not really players.

I think you have your OSI layers mixed up.

I found the metaphor to be contrived and pretentious. We all understand the symbolism of a blank sheet of paper -- there's no need to elaborate for an entire paragraph about it.

Hmmm smells like the HN misogynists are out again. Someone should really do a sentiment analysis on HN comments based on author gender.

If you understood how customer service business runs, you'd know that this is most definitely a systematic failure. I'm shocked how many people on HN seem to think that customer service reps act on their own volition. And if Squar

Absolutely not. Given how mechanized customer support is these days, there is no reason to ask for login credentials. A new support employee would no doubt be reading off of a prompt and a seasoned support employee should absolutely know be

Yikes! So glad to know that these type of things are being broadcast to the wider Internet community. I know quite a few people that use squarespace; I'll make sure to let them know.

This is quite an instructive thread on why it has taken so long for sensible drug policies to be put in place around the world. One person makes a generalization, another person counters with a broader generalization, someone throws in thei

Well, it also goes to show that public perception and reputation of a person can be largely at odds with reality. I like Horowitz's story, too, because it shows that even though people can do illegal things, it's very easy to do s

The Wikipedia article on options backdating notes that Steve Jobs was investigated for fraud at Apple, but ultimately the SEC went after Apple's CFO and general counsel at the time.

I can't really see a downside to this page having its own domain name. Also your point makes no sense... clearly liquidapsive.com is much more memorable than http://www.yahoo.com/geocities/en/us/~liq

I haven't heard of adaptive before either, but I kind of like it. The original book on responsive design spent a lot of time talking about how to correctly make liquid layouts, and heavily advocated for their use along with media queri

It's a strange dichotomy in a way; we, as Americans, are supposed to be aggressively family-oriented while, at the same time, relentlessly dedicated to our work. Corporate culture here definitely has a certain intensity to it that can

I'm hoping they're inspired--they should be! In a lot of ways, this type of e-mail can be impossible to write; simultaneously writing about your pride in a company while acknowledging the recent missteps of your predecessor and a

One of my first full PHP projects was a WordPress site. I was very inexperienced at the time, but I remember being frustrated at the concept of the Loop, sub-queries, template overrides, and the like. IMO beginners should work without frame

There's a very clear difference between native apps and web apps in my mind. EDIT: I should make very clear to non-developers out there that, with a native app, you're able to display a web browser without a URL bar or any other U

It's a lose-lose situation for Google to do such a thing. They're not making an argument; they're making policy. I'm under the impression that the policy isn't up for discussion, in which case it's wise for Goo

Do you think that's good for users though? Especially with Google's lax oversight of the marketplace? If the developer using their own payment method changed their PayPal redirect to a phishing site, would users notice? What if yo

I was more thinking along the lines of making a web app instead of a native app; IMO Google's implication is that, if you're not doing business in one of the supported countries, you're not allowed to conduct commercial trans

Yes, but Microsoft and Apple have the advantage of having physical products, stores, agreements, etc. in the international market already.
