Yes, I’ll give you that. I think the point I was trying to make was that being denied some activities ( or have them severely restricted) as a young kid, may have repercussions later in life that ends up being the opposite of what the par

I think the step from books->TV was much more dramatic that TV->SocialMedia. the delta of stimulation is much greater in the former, imho. In any case, 1hr of iPhone/day is way too strict for a teenager nowadays. I was lucky to b

Shouldn't this account for a round trip, and the speed through copper (~ 2/3rd of the speed of light)? That would lower the radius to much more than 500 miles.

I agree, except for the 'common political entity' bit. EU, till now, has been mostly a financial institution, rather than a political one. We will be a political union only when all of us will speak a common language, and all of u

How about all those people who learned english as a second language and then went to live in various english speaking countries? My accent is a weird mix of Italian/Irish/Northern UK sounds, it wouldn't fit anywhere in that l

To get a glimpse of the impact of this new TLDs you can just look at how much ICANN charged the registrars 'cartel' to open up this new top level names: 185K for each name [1]. This, I suppose, means each registrar plan to make a

Being an old trombone myself, I find the learning curve to get proficient in any recent UI framework isn't worth my time. I use an old school text editor to write html/js manually, and then maybe I play a bit with photoshop. Resul

Simply put, I did it because what is interesting for Canadians or Australians is slightly different from what matters to people in US. I'm working to open it to other countries as well, but that requires some work on my side. At the mo

I'm working on a news reader that works in the opposite way of traditional news reading apps. It uses Twitter as a sort of enhanced RSS feed and ranks news based on how much they are shared in real-time, and lays them down in a newspap

Ok, so I had a closer look at it and now I have a question: on the homepage you have 121 ideas atm, but I don't see where I can browse them, except for the top 10. The hello page states "Every month the Assembly community picks an

I could build you one of those without privacy intrusion, and add the ability to switch from home/work/car automatically using GPS. I'd be happy with 1% of what they raised , anyone interested? :(

I believe the most straightforward way of doing this is with your 3rd option (interactive hints through the workflow). You can easily accomplish this with popups and overlays.
