That was probably done because comments also appear on one's Google+ page. In that context you want to see what video was commented on. But it seems extremely clumsy not to implement a solution that takes into account the context in wh

I also tend to be bothered by typos. I noticed several missing "a"s: "unlock the gate to great career" "one profile that gives complete picture" and the "the time recruiter spends" typo already mentio

I agree. It's stunning to me that a bunch of executives and lawyers sat together and decided, we are going to take advantage of the infrastructure and workforce in the UK, but will avoid paying any taxes there, using these clever shenanigan

I "took off" for over a year, worked around the clock on my own projects, amassed a huge amount of new skills, and had absolutely no problem finding a new job afterwards. It was almost eerie - nobody even cared if my projects were successfu

I am fairly certain they still use "fake" submissions (and paid users) to great effect. Recently a user "karmanaut" was exposed as systematically taking the highest-ranking comment of a previous picture submission and adding it to the pictu

Ugh. I wouldn't have thought that. And to think ten years ago people were worried about cookies... The bar for privacy on the internet has gotten pretty low. A friend of mine publicly read "How to improve your sex drive". She's in a relati

Agreed. Ads are ubiquitous (I just tune them out), but clicking a link and being told "you can't read this unless you give us your personal info and let us tell all of your friends that you read this" is wrong on so many levels. I think thi

Yes but out in the wild, even with monkeys watching other monkeys, sex is a social activity; watching porn alone makes it a very non-social activity. This discussion reminds me a bit of the "sugar/fructose" discussion the other day. Humans

It depends how much stuff you have other than the bed. Renting a vehicle one-way is crazy expensive. So is flying with more than one or two suitcases. My hunch is, driving the small truck ALMOST all the way with your stuff, then ditching i

Clever and fun! Please fix the misspelling though... "quick, consice [sic] answers"

To me, the occasional two-day road trip is necessary to preserve my sanity. Even if it's based on a thinly veiled excuse. While I think it's important not to waste time away on twitter, reddit, hackernews et al: if you start running a tally

I don't know... Data in itself is not valuable, you have to be able to monetize it. How much is it worth to know everything about a 20-something buried under a mountain of student loans, who is not inclined to buy expensive furniture, stere

Exactly. Recently I asked a friend to check out a site I just uploaded, he sent me some nice compliments. Later I realized that on IE (which he uses) the layout was all off. I need to find some meaner friends.

This was awesome... made me remember every single facepalm I experienced while learning jquery. :) With the caveats from the previous comments, I'd recommend this to every web developer-in-training. Thanks for putting this together; this co

According to various philosophies and religions, defining life in terms of "doing" is one of the fundamental errors, and it does have various negative implications if you think it through to its logical conclusion. So, no, I don't think thi

Last time I looked, Facebook photos are not protected by any security other than the fact that their .jpg link is difficult to guess. (I.e. anybody can view them who has the link.) I was very surprised when I noticed that. Makes sense, cost

I actually think that "A" is beyond dispute. Your married partner cheats on you, divorces you, marries the biological father of the child, and you are still on the hook for child support? I can't imagine someone NOT thinking with every mo

Can you give an example? In almost all states, if the wife gets pregnant by another man, the man is still on the hook for child support for the next 18+ years... even if she divorces him and marries her lover. I can't think of an equivalent

Exactly. It was amazing how quickly, at my last place, standups devolved from ...recounting verbally what one did the previous day... ...to marking one's progress on a whiteboard... ...to having to write down on an index card beforehand and

So how can I write a bot to fight the sexism in Microsoft's TV ads? You know the ones... where the husband is the bumbling idiot and the wife is the smart capable one who shuts down his plea to play golf on Sundays. I would love to set tha
