I have this same gripe (about HN too, I suppose). Flickr claims that it's a philosophical thing - that URLs shouldn't change, so the username I chose when I first registered years ago should invariably be what I'm associated with for the re

Yup, giving New Relic a test run was on my to-do list, but I was annoyed enough by their incessant messages that it got tabled indefinitely.

The USPTO is likely well aware that they have nothing to do with copyright, just the Patents and Trademarks mentioned in their name.

Maybe that's true in the usual way we'd understand that percentage (the percentage of total users subject to this particular issue). But based on the fact that all seven of my Google accounts were inaccessible via IMAP, I'm wondering if the

At public schools in the US, quota systems are officially illegal (UC Regents v. Bakke), but they are allowed to use admissions to encourage diversity (Grutter v. Bollinger). In general, both public and private schools tend to over-admit mi

I was in the first batch at Rock Health, and now continue to help out as a mentor. It was a great experience for me, and it's come a long way in the last couple years. As with all accelerators, your mileage may vary. If your key needs are t

Agreed. As a Bowdoin alum, this showed exactly what I'd expect from a great liberal arts college. But perhaps that's its value, for the parent concerned about their kid's choice of a "soft" major.

Good question. I believe in explaining as clearly as possible, but ultimately in taking responsibility. You chose the provider, decided on the level of risk you're comfortable with, and that ultimately failed. It was that choice that got in

Well, you're already in the midst of downtime, so you have a head start. Aside from that, focus on two concepts: TTL and overlap. 1) On your old host, lower the TTL of all your records to something quite low, like 30 seconds. This will incr

As much as I dislike GoDaddy, and am glad I've switched away, I can't see how this kind of attack can possibly result in progress towards Anonymous's goals. It serves only to make them seem like radical thugs, far from being aggressive prot

At many of the top colleges and universities in the US, the institution is able to meet 100% of the "demonstrated financial need" of the family. At several schools, all of the provided financial aid comes in the form of grants, which is bas

Yeah, TC is good for us to get a reasonably-sized audience that knows how to handle a young product, in case we run into glitches or interaction friction. As we feel better about its broad applicability, we'll do our best to do exactly what

We're not super connected to that community, but we'll be doing our best over the weekend and into next week to make those connections and see where we get. It's definitely on our radar.
