The problem is they can match these profiles even if you haven't signed up for gravatar at all. Your email hash is always sent to gravatar.com.

It also allows you to match an e-mail address to a particular account. So, let's say a dating site uses gravatars, now anyone who can see those can match my dating profile to my stackoverflow account (and any other site using gravatars).

Personally, I wouldn't want to work for a company that expects a bullshit answer here. I'll give them the real answer, if they then don't hire me because they expected bullshit, that's fine.

I reported an issue to them via e-mail on saturday. Got a response on sunday, I added some details, and it was fixed a few hours after their first response. they're still small, they still listen to feedback.

In europe, there are mobile telephone services providers who don't operate their own network. In a sense, they are resellers for the network operators. This allows them to innovate in areas where the network operators don't do this, witho

A note about the second rule: "Break everything into small chunks". This in itself can be a very demotivating task if you do not realize that you don't have to decide on all the chunks in advance. From GTD I learned that you only have to

I rarely have to force myself to step outside of my comfort zone, because it's not all that comforting to begin with. For many things I do, I keep thinking there must be a better way to do things -- sometimes a better way comes along and I

If the name of your project is important to you, register a trademark (or actively use the name to establish a trademark). Without a trademark you don't "own" the name, and anyone can use the name for a similar product/service/etc...

For every place where user-generated content exists, you need people to police things. If you have a community, this can be crowd-sourced to some extent, but on a blog it is usually the blogger him/herself taking up that task. This is not

Why would the frequency of blog posts determine whether a blog is a blog or not? What is the threshold, and where is it defined?

Did you see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=903589 ? I'm not familiar with that service btw, just remembered seeing that here a few days ago. I use nagios both at home and at work.

The utility of an agree/disagree button would be to prevent the up/down vote arrows to be used for that purpose, which a few in this thread claim is what is happening. (I doubt that would work though, but am curious to know if that has been

Most people, I believe, downvote because they do not agree with someone's opinion. If they do, they're doing it wrong. Downvote someone for not contributing to the discussion.

Do you do anything extra to verify an OpenID account? It's probably easy to set up a bunch of domains with fake openid servers, so I would expect that to be susceptible to abuse too unless you have some extra step to make sure the voter is

I always try to find a library which does what I need before writing one myself. However, I rarely consider proprietary libraries. With open source or free software libraries I can quickly get some idea of how well-written the library is,

It depends on your relationship with that person. For some of my relationships it is perfectly normal to return a call two months later. In general it helps if you're clear about it. I have a friend with two cellphones, and she never answ

I wouldn't say ignore the stars, but use them as a filter. Read only the negative reviews. Any 5 star review is just a rabid fan, you can safely ignore those. 4 star reviews might be more interesting, but the real content is in the 1, 2

The benefit for me is that you get to choose who stores your password. A random website may store my password plaintext, I have no way of knowing -- so I am forced to use different passwords for each site, and manage them some way. Ofcours

For anything slightly more involved I really like Pure as a javascript template engine, http://beebole.com/pure/ . Especially when working with something like json data generated elsewhere.

Interesting observation regarding avatars, I was planning to include them in a current project... but having less recognizable user accounts might help with getting users to focus on the content.

I don't think spending your evenings on a startup is necessarily bad for your employer. Someone spending considerable amounts coding on his/her startup in the evening still brings the knowledge and experience of doing that back to the full-

I'm using gandi hosting for my hobby projects. I think their virtual servers are XEN based, having access to the actual console via ssh is nice if you like to do your own OS install on your slice. (They also have easier web interfaces for t
