Another problem is: I know I shouldn't roll my own, but I can't or don't know how to identify implementations that meet my needs and are written by someone sufficiently competent.

It's evolutionary. If the industry keeps trying, and nobody complains too much about this particular implementation, then the advertising industry can continue pushing the boundaries. In-store tracking is too much for now, but if bin

I've found a strong correlation between sites which require javascript, and sites which I should be spending a minimal amount of time on.

I'm an educator so it was interesting to see the example of an education dashboard in the competition. This is something that we struggle with - every educator has different needs and so it's really a difficult challenge to satisf

Yes, a better experience would be to show me in advance what dates were available, rather than letting me suffer trial and error.

I did understand point 1: but this type of block would illustrate that a primary concern is the ability to abuse my personal e-mail address. Assuming a company doesn't have that intent, I don't think they should send that signal.

I would pay for that. Although I don't trust Google on privacy, this deal would benefit me - I get to take away the worst aspects of Gmail while keeping the better aspects. However, I wonder if offering this service as an option would

Why is the demo inside an iPhone graphic if the point is to show that I can run it in a browser? This made it very difficult for me to understand the concept: I wondered if you were showing me a web app that accessed native hardware.

I don't consider there to be a government contribution at all: in reality, they are permitting you to pay income tax at a later date ( at a rate we don't yet know ). Assuming you have covered your debts and housing costs and have

" just make up" makes this interpretation unlikely. Additionally: it matters just as much how the grad student interpreted the statement, as how it was intended. Even if meant with good intention, which I doubt, the use of langua

It's strange to believe you can effectively determine gender from a first name - even when concentrating on Anglo-centric names, as this appears to. How is the data generated? By hand? I can imagine this might be somewhat useful if it

This is exactly how I base my calculations. Pension calculators which assume e.g. a 7% annual rate of return (with apparently no inflationary concern) are just financial propaganda.

I don't think you have clearly understood most people . Most young people genuinely can't afford to save for a pension beyond the state-provided pension - if you have any significant pension at retirement, you're in a positi

There are significant downsides to saving for a pension as well, as I will try to illustrate: The advantage of putting money into a pension (rather than regular savings) is presumably that you get to save the money in a relatively tax-effic

As long as a start up with decent traction has 4x more chance of success (ignoring for now the extra time required for due diligence), which seems likely, a rational investor would typically go for the 25x option.

Worth watching - perhaps the most excruciating flashmob ever. But, it seems to me that it reflects well on the internal company culture.

You have not addressed my main point, so I will simplify it: The Olympics cannot judge a host country for its political values, or it would have a strong cultural bias and not be a global event.

OK, yes, it's this attitude which I was disagreeing with: Sports and politics may be innately interconnected, but that doesn't mean we should seek to make sports even more political. To have a requirement that the Olympics is host

Do you have a source for that? I agree there is not a nice atmosphere (as there wasn't for Owens), but your suggestion that athletes will be arrested on arrival is simply not evident. Minister Vitaly Mutko... " No one is forbiddin

I could never remember this until someone told me to imagine that an array is like a row of chairs at a cinema. "Shift" will shift everyone up one, bumping someone off the start of the row.
