You're taking a lot of correlation and trying to prove causation, much like the people you criticize. "They invariably neglect to take into account the pitifully short lifespans our ancestors had." Of course their lives were short. They had

A few years ago Verizon included an XID variable in the headers (essentially a unique subscriber code), but I'm not sure what the SOP is today. Granted, there are still several ad-testing companies that store a variety of mobile cookies for

I used www.autotempest.com late last year to find my latest car and I'm glad to see some competition emerging. After a quick review, two things that strike me: 1. One feature I like about AT is being about to see which cars are in which mar

The expression "Thank God!" could easily be intended to show thankfulness that medicine and this person's illness crossed paths now vs. 100 years ago. Not to spark a religious debate, but this reaction seems to be common among the scientifi

There could be two reasons: 1. Microsoft is attempting to pique interest in gaming because they see Xbox Live as a key differentiator for the Windows Phone platform. 2. Microsoft is just trying to prove relevance for IE, since their number

Skepticism is necessary, but dismissal sounds like a knee-jerk reaction. The reason I, or anyone else for that matter, might be interested in what he (or a non-climatologist) has to say is an attempt at avoiding any hoopla stemming from sci

The difference is that the additional effort put forth in the sales process yields direct, tangible profits, whereas coding efforts are not always as easily quantified. Think of this from the perspective of an owner. If you are going to cho

Actually, Walmart has improved their produce offering over the last few years. They now source their fruits and vegetables from some of the same farms as Whole Foods (at least, their organics). http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2

Over-promising is usually a result of a poor salesman who does not focus on maintaining long-term relationships with his or her prospects/clients (and will probably jump from industry to industry). Unfortunately this is rampant at businesse

I suspect FogCreek had success because their sales team is relatively small, but I'm curious to see how this works long-term. Is a lack of commission structure going to deter future recruits? They said nobody left, but have they tried hirin

He's probably using List-unsubscribe. You can add headers to your emails that give users a way to unsubscribe from your list if they click "mark as spam" (and many do, despite an "unsubscribe" link appearing at the bottom of the email).

I'm a bit bewildered there's an entire discussion about this based on a reddit post. While the OP's circumstances may be true at his or her company, is it still universally accurate? I don't actually know the answer, but based on several ar

This is correct for their high-yield investor checking account (don't let the name fool you, the interest is a fraction of a percent). This account requires a credit check and a linked brokerage account; although, I don't think that brokera

You're absolutely right, but I think you overestimate the general public's preferences with regards to quality. From low bitrate mp3's, video clips (movies or otherwise), laptop speakers, car speakers, computer monitors, etc. there has alwa

Perhaps this is a naive question, but are there any benchmarks comparing client-side load times for actual images vs. images rendered in CSS? Server-side bandwidth savings is easier to calculate, and while I realize this kind of savings for

I suspect you'll get downvoted for this, because the tone of your comment insinuates developers need recruiters. While this may be the case for the lowest percentile, the fact remains that companies need recruiters to locate and hire that

Just a datapoint, but out of all the invitations I sent out when G+ first launched (100-150, I don't recall), 40 or 50 friends signed up. ~3 of them still use it at least once a week. From my observations, G+ still seems to consist primaril

Knowing Peter wrote the book that describes this situation[1] and then denying that it's happening makes me seriously question whether this is Morton's own doing (great PR) or something that was discussed beforehand. Regardless, this is cle

Are bandwidth caps really that common? I was under the impression Comcast was the only major ISP in the US that imposed caps. FWIW I just signed up for Grande's fiber service in central Texas -- 40Mbps/4Mbps (though I have not dropped below

I can't tell if the video is perpetually out of focus or if the quality is just incredibly down-scaled. Perhaps the uploader intentionally chose latter as a result of the former.
