I'm not sure what attitude you are referring to. You may be reading a bit too much into this. I was simply trying to draw some perspective - "really pathetic" is a bit of an overstatement for not linking to Chrome on a browser recommendatio

Thank you. I'd like to agree :) Nothing personal about it.

As an employee, you certainly take a "risk" that your job will not last forever. You may be fired, downsized, or the company may go bankrupt. Fortunately, since we live somewhere where you can fire, downsize, and go bankrupt, there are comp

"really pathetic"? I'm going to assume you've never done anything so pathetic in your life as to leave a web page with something less than the latest, greatest, most open sourcey, freedom-loving information.

Who the hell cares? Take a deep breath of chill the fuck out and don't read so much into things. I doubt they spent much time debating which browsers to add here, or that this came out of a strategy meeting with Zuckerberg. I wouldn't be su

Tips can't both be discretionary and an entitlement. That's a contradiction, and I think where the discomfort arises. Either they are an entitlement - in which case they should be disclosed and added as a fee, or they are discretionary, in

Not really. The 10% is required and disclosed, so it is no difference than raising the prices. Tips on the other hand are an imposition since they are both expected and discretionary. Sure, the 10% could be included in the price and wages r

I agree. Treat trolls and snappy shitheads like they didn't do anything offensive or annoying. Reward their good behavior and don't respond to their bad. Most will quickly realize that constructiveness instead of belligerence is getting the

Regardless of anything else, it's wrong that servers are paid less per hour just because tips are common. This places an unfair burden on customers, and took tips from being part of a culture of discretionary generosity to being enshrined l

I occasionally venture into the IRC rooms for Rails, node.js, or some other technology when I need a quick answer that can't be found elsewhere. I'm always shocked at how stereotypically asinine and snarky the responses to legitimate questi

Redis is far more feature-ful, and can serve the purpose as memcache. Why have two parts when you only need one? Redis offers persistence, set operations, namespacing, you can delete multiple entries with wildcards...

I'd say Backbone is a library. Ember is more of a framework. For example, create 100 todos in their demo app, then check the select all button. Notice the instance response. This is because Ember consolidate actions and executes them once a

Yes, the Iraq war had much to do with protecting the world oil supply. While the oil and gas industry is heavily subsidized, that war did not give the US a better deal on oil than anyone else. While it may have impacted oil prices, it did s

I generally agree that this process doesn't sound all that terrible for code that controls a large, live manufacturing line. Try changing the code that runs a pacemaker - you'll learn all sorts of things about process. This line however is

This is a claim that requires some justification. Gas in many countries is far cheaper than in the US, and the reason it is more expensive in others is heavy taxation and regulation, not lack of coercive negotiations.

This seems extremely conspiratorial and likely wrong. iPhones can already be locked to a carrier. Whether the SIM card is virtual is irrelevant. If the carriers want to screw you, they already have means to do so. In fact, I suspect a phone

Because if you did not sign, there is no written contract for that transaction, so there is far less of a case that the charge is valid. Regardless of what the signature looks like, you are liable if it was you (or someone you authorized) w

by aneth 14y ago
Given the fact that your signature is on the card, this seem rather ineffective. Approximate signatures are easy to forge and no merchant will deny a transaction based on a different signature. In fact, that is not the purpose of your signa

Likealittle seems to have died. It was a very clever, savvily marketed, but faddish idea that probably could have been leveraged into a college dating platform, but the product never seems to have evolved. http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/lik

I think the idea of a pin at checkout is a good one to reduce fraud. However this is more work for the consumer, and reduces the bank's liability. Most consumers would probably prefer this, as it makes their card more secure and reduces the

I'm not familiar with this service. What is the advantage to the consumer in exchange for losing their fraud liability protection?

That would be clever way to quickly fund his Square account, although it wouldn't avoid the overdraft fee after the ECH was initiated.

You are not expected to keep a month sales, just some small percent that will vary by your customer's tendencies to chargeback. Since almost every merchant account will have some chargebacks, and high volume ones will usually have some per

Square was out the funds immediately. Jason could have avoided fees by funding his account the same day, or by simply keeping some reasonable amount in the account for potential chargebacks. Square should not be required to keep a person on

I have to land squarely on Square's side on this one. As far as I can tell, Square has handled this matter exactly as I would expect and hope. They communicated professionally and clearly with Jason. Jason responded with empty threats and d

I'm not sure I understand your point. "SOPA sucks. Just like PHP/Java" is a useless statement, since the only thing the two have in common is "sucking." The Bible is an alternative theory of the origin and purpose of existence, and is dire
