The perks are certainly nice and likely a good move all things considered, but at some point she is going to have to inspire and innovate. A "Google-like office", without a seriously great product, will probably be tough sell, longterm.

Actually I agree with you in this case, given the massive amount of attention on Twitter now, but in situations of lesser scrutiny, the 'drip-drip-drip' is often the the more cunning move. See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creeping_no

It's not necessary nor sufficient. The logic of argument, does not rely on the emotions of a listener. Eg. Claim1: The motherfucking sun is deff larger than da moonz! Without getting into petty semantic deconstruction, the essence of the st

No one needs to accept anything, I'd much rather listen to a badly worded, foul mouthed tirade that rang true, than eloquent diction, suffering from serious flaws in logic. And yes you can have both, but that is not relevant to the argumen

Ironic? Err No, it is in fact rather apt. As of now, there are two replies to my comment, both nitpicking on the grammar, instead of DH6. http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html

"Makes it unreadable, to you " It seems like a common handicap amongst otherwise smart and capable people, to possess the inability to ignore tone, style grammar etc, and just judge the message on the strength of it's argument alone.

Indeed, it's a shame many devs have been lured over to Chrome in the past (myself included), while every day it becomes more aligned with Google's corporate interests. Let's not forget the good Mozilla has done in making a free and open web

Uggh, it's getting pretty tricky to work through the moral ambiguity of all this. Probably because it's 3am and I'm tired, but wouldn't it be nice for a change, to let someone else convince us that "Apple == good" and "Samsung == Bad" ,

> It's a great concept, but here's where it breaks down: once data is given out, it can never be retracted. Isn't Twitter the same though? Deleted tweet's have a way of staying around... :P

I suspect it may actually be related to the energy cost of higher data rates on the device itself, rather than the network costs. IOW, it would require more energy to spin the disks faster, and burst a higher peak rate.

While I don't fully subscribe to the "you have to be a psychologist to indulge in psychodynamic theory", I do tend to agree with you in this instance. It's unlikely he is generally that myopic, and more plausible that an emotional reaction

I've never understood this. Since on the hardware level it's exactly 2x, so one pixel becomes 4 pixels. Why on earth would it look blurry? There is no interpolated upscaling needed.

Cool, I really like the idea, and will probably become a fan, once it's further along. Bret Victor's talk was truly inspiring, and I'd wish he'd release his tool too for comparison.

I think it's also important to distinguish "negative" from "critical thinking". While we can probably mostly agree that sniping (especially personal attacks) are rotten, I suspect useful insights, that are critical in nature, often get thro

Indeed. And it's not just about spying. The Zapier people are probably decent and honest etc, however that's not the point. It introduces a new security threat and attack vectors unnecessarily It violates the principle of needing just eno

That's super handy. Zapier is shaping up to be my favorite out of IFTTT and Wappwolf. However, would decent if they allowed selective Dropbox permissions (eg limited to a single folder). It's disturbing when startups (even a single individu

Yeah, the whole "curing cancer" meme always sounded murky and a bit lame TBH. It's unlikely it's a binary thing or state that get's magically achieved by one person or a team, and much more likely the result of small, incremental advances.

hmm yeah. I mean I donated, but at the same time, I feel the whole app.net thing == dalton and his emotions. The video is "I, I, me, me". And less about "we". Decentralised would be awesome, with some sort of non-profit organisation accepti
