I think you mean "sold by Amazon"? Third parties can take advantage of prime shipping, and people have been scammed via that method as well.

When someone says "a couple thousand" you think of 200k as a lower bound?

Yeah, I got the same vibe. Don't forget coming up with a world-changing solar energy breakthrough that nobody responds to simply because he doesn't have credentials. I mean, it's certainly possible. But what is the _likely_ s

One of the awesome things about Blue Apron is that they make their recipes available on their site: http://www.blueapron.com/cookbook/ I've never signed up for their $$$ervice but I've tried a couple of their

I wonder what the judicial system would look like if people were completely truthful and forthcoming. It seems like 90% of a lawyer's job revolves around dishonesty. That's got to be a frustrating career.

I'm sorry that happened to you. I think thoughtful feedback is so important (for any job!) but it never seems to happen. If you're doing well, you might get a generic pat on the back. If you go off the rails you don't hear ab

The most frustrating thing about the slippage is that you couldn't really point to anything as the reason it happened. It wasn't just "poor management" or "poor effort" or "changing specs". I still ca

One company I worked had 9-hour workdays, and then every other Friday we had off. It was pretty nice, but it was also before kids came into the picture. Now a 6-hour workday sounds amazing.

Bingo. Here's an example from a room with a centered bay window: http://images.younghouselove.com.s3.amazonaws.com/2014/02/Ap... So you have to go back with a measuring tape and amend all the measurements any

Good luck! You seem to have a lot of ambition so I bet you have a good shot at making it work. Maybe you can take orders for $5k apps while you're making the $1k apps!

Well, it may not be a dinosaur in terms of age, but it certainly is in terms of its featureset. Given IE's track record, the fact that it was the latest version 20 months ago doesn't mean it was a GOOD version 20 months ago.

That's my point -- if you haven't upgraded by now, you might not be able to. Period. Which is not to say I think they should fully support IE9. I'm just saying that (maybe misguidedly) I expect Trello users to be a little sma

If you're desperate for new features, you might not care if the CSS is a little wonky.

What does this mean for Mt. Gox users? I know it would be for next year's return and we're not even sure how much has been lost yet since they are apparently still "finding" wallets.

That makes sense. I'm sure you know this already, but make sure you have a lock-tight contract for exactly what you're going to deliver. There's no room for scope creep in a $1k app!

Understood, but it's money that's already been spent. I just wanted to point out he'd also need some other form of income to support himself while he makes the apps, even if it's only $250 a month.

I like the general idea, but (to me) the investment seems way too low. $1000 for a full-fledged game, and you plan to make 8 of them? In what time frame? It also seems like this class is for people completely new to Obj-C and the like. I ha

He kind of skips over this, but the way he says you don't even get served the "collection of files" until your browser is determined makes me think they're using the request header. So maybe that 8.48% decrease is just p

I haven't found that there's much overhead at all. And there are a LOT of benefits... for instance, you can use a much leaner framework on the services side, since all you really "need" is routing. The services can (shou

This code is not "quite clean." The only thing it has going for it is mostly decent naming. This is some of the most tightly coupled code I've seen written this _century_. This is the kind of code that gives PHP a bad rap.

That's awful. I would expect more from Amazon. I guess they've decided that, in absence of looking at your actual work, they have to find other metrics by which to measure your performance -- like how many minutes per day your but

What is strange about the Chinese situation is that top women are not chosen _despite an oversupply of men_. You can't make the same argument about there being an oversupply of positions for PhDs. The article itself says there are &quo
