    I found this a pretty interesting and useful way to look at this. One additional factor I would love to see: situations where one person is coming on a "late" cofounder (e.g. a bas…

    I'm not sure whether or not your wife is working, but how do you manage your time with her and that relationship? Is it just shared time that you spend with your daughter in the ev…

    What about this point? >Second, condom-only regulation would also encourage a black market in adult film production. So movies featuring no-condom sex would not only still exist, b…

    If you allow OpenID, users can choose an openid provider that has a hardware authentication option, like Verisign. Most won't, but it at least is an easy way to provide this option…

    Nice, but why not allow integration with common authentication devices available, such as SecurID? I don't want to end up with 5 or 6 of different authentication devices.

    That (in addition to the fact that everyone lives in the suburbs) perhaps provides some of the explanation for why Atlanta rush hour traffic seems to be some of the worst in the co…

    To an extent I think you're right and some people will do it regardless. On the other hand, smoothly flowing traffic creates an incentive to not zoom ahead in the merge lane. There…

    Interesting, my instinct has always been to try to "punish" the cheaters by preventing them from merging in, thinking that this would discourage this behavior. But I can't really s…

    You can actually be sued for anything . Whether or not you can win is another matter, and it's difficult to recover legal costs for a frivolous lawsuit. The lawyer is probably just…

    It would at least make sense to deal with plurals. I can't tell you the number of times I've searched for something using an s (or not) at the end, and failed to find what I was lo…

    At what point does a casual conversation become illegal collusion? Unfortunately, the law provides no clear definition, just as there's no clear point at which competitive behavior…

    Here's something that seems to be left out of this discussion: there was an existing Google Voice application on the App Store called GV Mobile. At the time that Google's own app w…

    How do you determine "verifiably female?" What if you have a "female" with high levels of androgens? Do you just say if you are 2 standard deviations within the mean of females you…

    I completely agree with you. I would easily spend 5 or 10 cents to read an interesting article, multiple times per day, especially a well written article from the New York Times or…

    The one thing that all of these GB comparisons never take into account is actual performance (which is admittedly harder to measure). I've experimented with about 4 different dedic…

    An 8 digit, all numerals password? Really, Mitnick? It's not super secure, but it really should be secure enough if a website cares about security -- they should be limiting login …

    Comment #762811

    This is an interesting idea. The obvious question is how do you measure activity -- this is one of the things that often causes disagreements (e.g. different cofounders all thinkin…

    I agree. Working at home also gives you the opportunity to use a full size keyboard, use multiple (or large) monitors, and more. And you save tons on the price of coffee (and can o…

    That electricity cost is based on a single location. My electricity is 12.5cents per KWH, regardless of time of day. That turns into about 3 cents per mile, rather than 1 cent per …

    Technically, it probably would be, which highlights the inanity of these laws.

    According to wikipedia, zip+4 does not uniquely identify single individuals unless they are high volume recipients.

    No, actually, the livejournal account is literally "cyxymu". The word is best written as Sukhumi (the Georgian city), but the cnet article refers to the "account name" and so is co…
