A company or individual putting “Facebook” or “Instagram” in their domain name without Facebook’s authorization would constitute trademark infringement. Pretty sure this lawsuit is…

Devil's advocate here... and I'm adding the caveat that I still use my iPad 1 daily (with the grandfathered, unlimited data plan). A lot of this is about generating revenues. At th…

I can make it work on SMTP/IMAP, but, right now, it requires a custom setup. I've got a couple accounts that pay to do this... but they also have lots of team members using it.

Thanks! Fixed... and an extra upvote to you for the trouble.

That's actually my next big update. I've got a Gmail plugin about 80% complete that will auto-stop the messages, too. I still kind of count it as "passive" work because I had to le…

Dang... maybe I'll get that fixed in a couple months :)

During my day job I run a full-time startup, but, as a weekend hack a couple years ago, I built an automated email sales tool called Autopest ( https://autopest.com ). I've never d…

@jklein - just seeing this... sorry. Happy to chat. What's the best way to get in touch?

I'm not convinced the accelerated growth in administrative positions is entirely a result of corporatization. FWIW - I'm commenting as someone who has served on a few committees at…

I have trouble accepting the general premise of the question. Not the $100m part... even a $100k job or a $10k job... doesn't matter. It implies that the program being developed ha…

Since you're a developer, you already have the most important asset, which is the ability to basically create anything (web services related, obviously). From there, it's "just" a …

This article wrongly implies that people getting English PhDs are only doing so in order to become tenure-track English professors. But I just completed my PhD in English two weeks…

I can agree with the seeming intention of the OP, but the analogy of adding labels to wires in an electrical box is problematic. How does having blank labels on wires equate to poo…

As the author, I should probably take my own advice and do what I always tell my students. If the structure of the sentence causes so much controversy that it distracts from the me…
