    That was probably done because comments also appear on one's Google+ page. In that context you want to see what video was commented on. But it seems extremely clumsy not to impleme…

    I also tend to be bothered by typos. I noticed several missing "a"s: "unlock the gate to great career" "one profile that gives complete picture" and the "the time recruiter spends"…

    It reminds me of gumroad.com

    I agree. It's stunning to me that a bunch of executives and lawyers sat together and decided, we are going to take advantage of the infrastructure and workforce in the UK, but will…

    I "took off" for over a year, worked around the clock on my own projects, amassed a huge amount of new skills, and had absolutely no problem finding a new job afterwards. It was al…

    I am fairly certain they still use "fake" submissions (and paid users) to great effect. Recently a user "karmanaut" was exposed as systematically taking the highest-ranking comment…

    Ugh. I wouldn't have thought that. And to think ten years ago people were worried about cookies... The bar for privacy on the internet has gotten pretty low. A friend of mine publi…

    Agreed. Ads are ubiquitous (I just tune them out), but clicking a link and being told "you can't read this unless you give us your personal info and let us tell all of your friends…

    Yes but out in the wild, even with monkeys watching other monkeys, sex is a social activity; watching porn alone makes it a very non-social activity. This discussion reminds me a b…

    It depends how much stuff you have other than the bed. Renting a vehicle one-way is crazy expensive. So is flying with more than one or two suitcases. My hunch is, driving the smal…

    Clever and fun! Please fix the misspelling though... "quick, consice [sic] answers"

    To me, the occasional two-day road trip is necessary to preserve my sanity. Even if it's based on a thinly veiled excuse. While I think it's important not to waste time away on twi…

    I don't know... Data in itself is not valuable, you have to be able to monetize it. How much is it worth to know everything about a 20-something buried under a mountain of student …

    Exactly. Recently I asked a friend to check out a site I just uploaded, he sent me some nice compliments. Later I realized that on IE (which he uses) the layout was all off. I need…

    This was awesome... made me remember every single facepalm I experienced while learning jquery. :) With the caveats from the previous comments, I'd recommend this to every web deve…

    According to various philosophies and religions, defining life in terms of "doing" is one of the fundamental errors, and it does have various negative implications if you think it …

    It still feels weird, even with "Recommend." "Tornadoes destroy trailer parks, strip malls in Texas" - Recommended by 241 people

    Last time I looked, Facebook photos are not protected by any security other than the fact that their .jpg link is difficult to guess. (I.e. anybody can view them who has the link.)…

    I actually think that "A" is beyond dispute. Your married partner cheats on you, divorces you, marries the biological father of the child, and you are still on the hook for child s…

    Can you give an example? In almost all states, if the wife gets pregnant by another man, the man is still on the hook for child support for the next 18+ years... even if she divorc…

    Exactly. It was amazing how quickly, at my last place, standups devolved from ...recounting verbally what one did the previous day... ...to marking one's progress on a whiteboard..…

    So how can I write a bot to fight the sexism in Microsoft's TV ads? You know the ones... where the husband is the bumbling idiot and the wife is the smart capable one who shuts dow…
