$0.02 regarding the name of the feature, which I think anchors too much in the "censorship/free speech" principle discussion when it seems you have much more tactical goals (modera…

This is an interesting feature, and certainly not something I would have expected as the "next" feature to add. When I read "pending comments" I expected something similar to slash…

For those who don't know, Greg is one of the common faces of the Seattle VC scene. He is a staple at nearly every startup event -- Startup Weekend, Geekwire events, TechStars, VC p…

Don't have a dog in the fight, but interesting how the uberX page doesn't mention specifics of the proposal beyond "put hundreds of drivers out of business and effectively shut Ube…

Similar to another poster, the only person admitted to MIT from my high school 10 years ago out of a class of 1200 from a wealthy suburb was the daughter of an alumnus who ran the …

totally off-topic, but because of the SOPA nonsense I've slowly moved my 40-or-so domains to namecheap during 2013 when their renewals came up. I was otherwise ambivalent about whi…

Interesting story. It seems the case went to arbitration due to a clause in the Ilya Semin employment contract and thus out of the light of regular courts: http://dockets.justia.co…

Mind elaborating, even if it's wild speculation and rumor? I haven't been following YHOO closely to know the backstory or context behind this individual.

This is a good question about the macro US economy. In general I agree with GP. Fact: The Fed has injected large amounts of cash into the asset markets using http://en.wikipedia.or…

You both are right! (yeah, yeah, cop out...) Listen to this: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2013/06/kling_on_the_th.htm...

Thanks, you're right. I don't know why I would have ever thought "!" was bitwise... only on a Saturday night. It just goes to show that sleep is very important for interviews!

Agree on needing comments. My C++ is a bit rusty, but I think the code is in fact checking if the number is divisible by 2 (i.e. n % 2 == 0). I think it's using the bitwise and ope…

Thanks. We've been segregating authenticated vs non-authenticated traffic to different domains for a few years now (we had the same realization as moot), but I was unaware about th…

Really? Exchange: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj900500(v=ex... Gmail: https://developers.google.com/gmail/gmail_inbox_feed (Search is only available publicly via…

This isn't as serious of a proposal as some of the W3C documents on how XML and WS-* works with my name on it (among many, many other smarter people)... and I have a lot of sympath…

I love this read, and I would love to read entire books of people from the trenches making software. However, most of the specific details Hal cites are... well... dated from someo…

It's also weird that they didn't explain the how behind this line: > Instead of serving images directly from their original external host servers, Gmail will now serve all images t…

> It's unclear if Amazon has actually started using Kiva, though. Yeah. They use them a lot. A lot, a lot. It was cheaper to buy the company than pay to outfit every FC. All newish…

Yes, many public stocks on major exchanges are just other forms of currency. It just depends on whether the underlying asset is highly liquid (which implies easy to trade, confiden…

Like you, I place little weight on the findings from a few keyword searches. Such vacuous analysis. That said, there are a few incentives in play for the "X for Y" or " for " langu…

Even though I don't own a gun, I own two sets of ear protection for this very reason! Just as effective as Bose but for $30, could be worn throughout flights (before recent FAA cha…

Completely agree, and I didn't know this practice had spread so widely. While doing the HR-sanctioned stack ranking requires X > MIN_POP_SIZE, in practice each line manager (i.e. l…

I thought everpix was a great product and had my family using it (4 paid accounts). I'm very sorry to hear this, and I wish the whole team good fortune. Would you mind sharing the …

Looks like Rockstar will be this generation's SCO. It's almost exactly the same tactic as last time, except now Microsoft isn't even bothering to hide its role. http://en.wikipedia…
