   Aha! That explains a lot. I think my expectation from the ted vid was that it was going to be something that wasn't already possible. But while it's not quite that, it is still cool that it's a framework for non-techies to produce richer vi

   But you can do that already: setTimeout(displaySomeImage, offsetInVideoWhereImageIsMentioned); video.on('pause', pauseTimeouts); Give me a few weeks and I can build a rich JS video control which allows all that and more. You can resize vide

   I don't really see what's so great about this. We can already embed maps, captions, links around the video via html. Why is it so groundbreaking to have it embedded within the video itself?

   '"Quotably" shares the most highlighted quotes from the Amazon Kindle' ^ excellent tag line. Explains exactly what I'm looking at. Good job. Nice idea.

   that's what OP is saying. The fact that 35% is good blows his mind.

    I had a similar thing. Wasn't really that bothered by it, but you can set up skype to not ever set you to idle.

    Should have mentioned call along with apply. Not sure these are patterns rather than just language features.

    Doesn't "My content is weak" contain the implicit qualifier "compared to the average within the domain we're discussing"?

    I was thinking more in terms of the way candidates are anonymously matched. NB: I don't know anything about dating or dating sites.

    This is a really nice approach to job finding. I wonder if the same could be applied to dating websites?

    I'm wondering if they removed it because the definition of a 'page/document' changed to the point where it's no longer a meaningful number. I'm talking about realtime search etc. A shift towards viewing data as being delineated by the infor

    A friend of mine used to keep a post-it note on her monitor with 2,073,418,204 written on it. She was keeping track of the number of pages google reported it had indexed[1]. We got very excited when it changed to 3,083,324,652. [1] http://

    This article isn't put across in a very balanced way. In fact I cut short my response when you said "Fuck you Douglas" because my hopes of receiving a civil reply evaporated. Anyway; > I say we have a reasonable expectation that people

    This would be true if you were reading this in front of his personal email client. Fact is, it's an open letter, and therefore guaranteed to connect with his target audience who are not, in fact, google.

    Interesting idea and I applaud them for reexamining basic assumptions, but I think they need to do more work on the site to convince the viewer that this concept actually works. Issues to address include, at least: Balance, Gears, Speed, Ef

    that would certainly help but it's just not running on a very powerful server, it's nothing to do with the language.

    We're just dealing with two different definitions of success here aren't we? Success Definition One: Success occurs when the child is returned. This is a binary outcome and you're right to say that if the child is returned then it simply is

    I think you need a mission statement/elevator-pitch style intro to the raison d'etre of the site. At the moment I'm having to invest time reading multiple snippets and inferring the overall goal of your project from them, which is difficult
