Your latter point is often ignored as inflation numbers are often taken as undisputed (or at least "what can you do about it") figures. There is tremendous bias in the calculation …

Missing from the title is that this is restricted for social networks only (or at least that's my read of it). If it were for general cases, passing this patent would be highly dis…

will paginate & authlogic definitely. HTTParty is a gem if you work with outside resources.

Also, related question, which ones are free? Are most other people using gmail smtp as a workaround?

Watch out! That equation for the macroeconomy (Quantity Theory of Money) went out of style in the 80s when people realized velocity wasn't a fixed constant, i.e., it only appeared …

This is exactly what I needed at the right time. In particular, I've only recently realized that working in blocks makes the design process go much more smoothly.

There's no way to get around invalid email addresses. Anybody can put in something like asdhsouhdosd@ahsoufhsdof.com and it would pass most regex checks. I think the best solution …

I think a lot of you are missing the point. I could be wrong but I think the gist of the message is to look at what 40B into ycombinator would mean in terms of value added, employm…

This is only true for the best schools with a decent amount of money. As bloomberg noted in a piece last month, a lot of schools on the cusp are in big trouble financially and depe…

If none of these plans pan out, I'd be surprised if they continue the non-ads approach. I hope they figure it out though, they'd be a great case study on a question we'd all like a…

I agree with you, but ironically the post reads like he's trying to land them as clients.

For me, the study of algorithms is cs. Hacking is just a means of implementation. Also, I think it's a huge misconception that algorithms is all about math -- it's about problem so…

It's also possible they were spammed.

I'm not a fan of either. I guess what I'm looking for is something like delicious but more multi-purpose.

What if you want something completely web based. I usually work on multiple computers, e.g., computer labs.

links, notes on articles you find, basically anything you'd want to save from the web to reference later
