How is it better? Rizzoma (wave) is so incredibly complicated I feel very overwhelmed when I visit the site. It's like stepping into a fighter jet cockpit.

> The problem with any commercial website with ratings (Amazon, Yelp, etc., etc.) is that there is HUGE incentive to game the ratings. While I agree that this is a problem, I think a bigger problem is a simple matter of scale: Amazon is

We just pushed out a fix for this - it was happening to people who were already on our email waitlist. If you enter your email now it should go away :) Sorry about that!

You should be happy. It means your idea is somewhat validated in that someone else is willing to put money and effort into making conversation better on the internet ;) *disclaimer: I work at Branch, and we are indeed focusing on many of th

According to the Netflix terms for their affiliate program[1], they won't let you participate in their program if your site includes "illegal activities." Seems understandable, but maybe if they allowed torrent sites to direct users to them

YouTube's codebase is largely python, but it was sort of grandfathered in. I'm unsure if it would be used if they were to rewrite it today.

This reminds me of a Radiolab episode where they asked kids to hold furbys upside down (vs. a barbie or other doll) to see if they had feelings for the robot vs. the doll. http://www.radiolab.org/2011/may/31/furbidden-knowledge/

It's a cool idea (storing user data in their own github accounts), but it sounds like a nightmare when it comes to security and data validation. No longer can you trust what gets into your database and instead you would constantly have to v

Does anyone provide data on startup acquisitions each year? I know the amounts are usually private, but the numbers always seem to leak out (or at least estimated numbers). It would be interesting to do some data processing to look for tren

This is really the key here. It doesn't matter where you are from. What matters is what you can do (or, in the case of proving to people that you are competent, what you have done). Do some small thing well to show that you have a chance at

Fantastic because just about anything is better than the record labels right now. Just because Apple already did it doesn't mean there isn't room for something else.

Fantastic. But I'm guessing the problem with this will be that that Google is Google and they won't give artists the extra support that they need like the labels do. Sure, the technology gets you the distribution, but you first need to have

Totally agree. While there are obviously some differences, I think blaming technology (i.e. Facebook) for horrible things that humans do is just silly. The problem is not that Facebook is making it easier for people to do bad things, the pr

Just more evidence that the DMCA is broken. This isn't YouTube's fault, it's a problem of Rumblefish harassing YouTube users.

The privacy implications are a bit worrisome. Perhaps it's time to write utilities to anonymize your writing style. Maybe running your text through a round-trip translator could help? (although then you'd need to fix any errors introduced).

Dreamhost is having a "major network outage" right now. If you can't get to it, try again later.

I don't think Google is doing anything evil here at all. The purchase of On2 (where the domain came from) very clearly had nothing at all to do with duckduckgo. That said, if they wanted to be more neighborly they could put up a landing pag

I believe the point is that wedding photography is really hard work compared to taking casual photos (or a more part time photo-journalist style). It sounds like the author already has a career doing something else, so perhaps even at $3k a

I agree 100% with the last paragraph: "The EFF’s Trevor Timm said he was overall happy with Google’s arguments in the hearing, but he thought the use of WikiLeaks as an example and the company’s focus on “following the money” revealed that

I agree that Javascript isn't as mature as Actionscript 3 feels, but would you really choose to build a website or web application in Flash over Javascript even if it meant a poorer user experience for your users? Your users don't care abou

Most of the arguments against Flash being dead seem to be one of these: 1) Games 2) Mobile apps 3) Video #1 I agree that flash is better for making games, but how big of a market are games on the internet? It's a 'big' market, to be sure, b

I'm curious what you think about the issue of mobile apps and scalability (in terms of having a distinct app for everything you do on your phone). The argument is that users won't want to install a separate app for all the various things th
