I am guessing that this is going to end up be a PR nightmare for Yelp once Google let's the hounds loose. They have been such an easy target in the past.

I'm curious too. The article is clearly tripe. Does anyone know by what specific mechanism(s) / technique(s) did this article make to the top?

It's hard for me to imagine a company as big as Dell making such a bone-headed blunder.

Given how gigantic this market is, that's a pretty common occurance (i.e., starting a property/vacation rental/related site). There's already plenty of other big players like HA, VRBO, FK, TA, rent and countless others.

This seems like very good idea to me. It is good enough that I will try to remind people in-person and online about it. I have given eulogies before. I have focused on only things I wanted to remember and perhaps things I thought others wou

The author's point directly conflicts with your suggestion of using U+0027. The author correctly states that the apostrophe when used inside a contracted English word should be treated as a modifier letter. There is a Unicode apostroph

For something like a DMV, it is important that a live human being personally verify individuals and documents in-person. This is inefficient by design, but quite necessary. Automation of things such as this with current technology makes som

This is one of those interesting items that is truly deserving of the headline "Neat Trick." It reminds me of a card trick that I learned as a child that appeared to work by magic, but instead worked every time because it involved

I'm not, but I'll grab the hook for a few seconds. This is going to boil down to Lenovo getting $0.90, $2.00, some other amount per system or a one time payment. It could also be for a specific quantity of desktop/laptop syst

I suppose someone could get bold and attempt to do some scraping. Of course, my money would be on SouthWest stopping this behavior as a violation of their terms of service. Here is their terms of service: https://www.southwest.co

...be wary. Hell yes. This is a product that, with a hidden bug or quirk, will kill, maim or hurt you and others around you. On the other hand, Apple has the capital to do this correctly. Even if they later decide to limit the scope of the

I agree that Trader Joe Dijon is outstanding. I would characterize it as equal to GP. However, Stadium Mustard is still top dog in my book. There are many Trader Joe's products that I think are top quality, if not the best of their kin

When a company trumpets some bold statements for marketing purposes, I immediately think about the worst or most far-fetched interpretation of their language. I wonder if their marketing people are being coy and the honest truth is, in some

Yes. It is convenient (i.e., easier) and simple risk aversion. In the many years I have been working in the corporate world, I have never encountered or directly heard of a non-hire lawsuit. But, this is talked about as if it is a common oc

This trick has an interesting artifact. When I came back to HN, I noticed that my mind made my vision appear actively "wavy." In other words, I could see some slight movement of waves on the horizontally drawn elements currently d

This type of purely nuisance punitive lawsuit should wind up biting both Orbitz and the airlines in the ass. The crucial thing that this website owner must do is keep this story in the media. He will have to make himself available to variou

In many states the IG is appointed by the AG. I wonder what the frequency of a State IG office investigating that State's AG. My guess would be that it is infrequent or unheard of, but I have not investigated the matter.

That is odd in my experience. Perhaps it has to do with my locale. I am in a major metropolis and I drive throughout the city, suburbs and adjacent cities regularly. I know the area and I have been driving for decades. I have been using Waz

Regarding vehicular tracking... I realize that there are voluntary tracking programs in-place for insurance purposes. That is the reason I specifically mentioned the somewhat fantastical thought of an automatic ticketing system for every ty

Be careful what you wish for. I don't think you intended to push the boundaries, but I'll do that for you. Again, I consider this quite a stretch of your vision. But, imagine having supervision include things such as: - ...Vehicle

Even though this thread is tangential to the OP, I second your sentiment and apologize for furthering the thread hijack. Obviously, I am of the opinion that automatic media playback is a "no no" and I personally dislike the practi

Do not take that personally. They were just sharing their opinion... okay, in a dickish way in hindsight to your reaction. Duck's back. Water.
