apparently you have to e-mail privacy@quora.com to get your account deleted completely. That in itself is reason to delete your account btw. It speaks volumes of their regard for users and their privacy.

I do wonder how many people in Facebook actually think of their company as a "business infrastructure provider".

Yes it was supposed to be an app market on facebook. But since Dalton 'will never write another line of code for social platforms' i assume that ship is not sailing. http://app.net/features/facebook/

How do you reliably check that javascript is turned off without resorting to javascript? edit: never mind; an img in a noscript tag.

Where is your company based, 180K is probably too much wherever you would be but still; a startup in SF needs higher salaries than one in Austin (or Europe).

A onetime sponsorship would sort of defeat the point of having members that use and sustain the service though.

Just a tip: the confirmation email went straight to my spam folder (with a very high spam rating). You might want to think about using something like mailgun or sendgrid for better deliverability...

This would be awesome if i could set personal preference for the review sources. I really don't care what Yahoo voices or some of the other 'critics' think but you are bound to have some reliable critics in there that i do care about. Maybe

First thing i noticed as well, i wonder if that's a new idea. Once you get it it's the perfect little icon for the action.

"For services hosted in other countries the law in those countries might well have something it can say/do" The actual hosting country does not always matter. In the Netherlands for instance (i can't speak for other countries) -where- a ser

There is no issue with IP addresses and SPDY perse. It's just that for SSL encryption (HTTPS) to work currently you would need your own IP address as older browsers (read IE < 8 on windows XP) don't support the SNI method of setting up

This would be very much illegal in Europe if used beyond just the test phase of an app. And even during testing it could only used with active consent of the tester probably.

by tijs 14y ago
Does this mean your not limiting use of delight to the testing phase but also allowing it to be used 'in the wild'?

I'm not sure recording a video of the user going through her private data on an app is the same as seeing where she clicks on your website though. As far as i know services like Clicktale will record mouse interaction but not the actual dat

And just because a big site uses it the language does not become good either, see the availability argument. I think most PHP programmers would not recognize what's running at Facebook as PHP with all the customization they have done.

Same way only easier; since your skill is more specific making it easier for people to figure out what to hire you for and for you to find out who your clients are. I guess your portfolio could relate some use cases. And lacking those there

Definitely worthwhile to get a designer in, if only for the basic branding elements; logo, type, palette. Spend some time on designer hangouts, like dribbble, find some designers you like and ask for some quotes. In my experience it's alway

"You couldn't even begin to localize templates like this without rewriting them" How come? If your base HTML templates are say python or ruby templates they could be localized fine. And if the JSON content your parsing with Walrus comes fro

Luckily all of this happened, i think i believe it did, in The Netherlands where litigation over this sort of thing is just not very common. Especially in smaller companies as this one seems to be.

As others have mentioned the website and portfolio are a must. It's ok if there isn't much on there yet, just some idea of what you can do is usually enough. While you work on your portfolio make sure it's obvious what people can hire you f

The context is far from meaningless. While you understand that 'technically' it's the same source, your friends and family using Facebook will have certain expectations when 'liking' something. These expectations will probably be that they

Nothing new here. Basic technical skills are becoming a must for almost any 'knowledge based' job out there. Not everybody will necessarily have to learn to code but if your a marketer and don't know how to setup an A/B test or send out a n

yes you could indeed throw another address at your virtual host. but the website/tool in question won't work with IPv6 addresses as they are not valid in a URL is the point i was trying to make :)

This is pretty handy until were all switched over to IPv6 and we'll need to "to solve the problem once and for all" again.

Observes are the argumentation, requests are the basis for new law.
