It _is_ possible to adapt Jackson (with minimal effort) to use Ion, since it's very similar to Jackson's native JSON format.

Hear, hear! Posted it as I've been raving about ion (particularly s-exp support) to non-amazonians, but credit goes all to them. It's particularly interesting to see the fixes and improvements from the actual open source cleanup

At least in Seattle they do ask to get the bags back, although it's not enforced (we once got a number of dry ice freeze packs as well). The packs are also cold-keeping, so I wonder if that makes the paper-bag alternative moot.

I've read recently the book that the article references - Why Humans like Junk food - and it's a fascinating read - despite being poorly written. Putting theories behind food appreciation, like Vanishing Caloric Density, the Umami

The application looks good with interesting articles at the time of writing. As a note though, I opened the link because I thought it was related to Monocle magazine ( http://monocle.com/ ) which also provides high quality co

Starting by congratulating Tesla in their system, which should win some converts, but there's something bothering me with it. An automobile network that's also owning their "refueling" network concerns me with the usual

The point about prioritizing clearing road-blocks for your team cannot be underestimated, but, in my experience, with a serious caveat: - Unless your SURE you have the time, do not put the technical task onto yourself, try to redirect. I&#x

I agree with you to a point, but would maintain that a significant amount of behavioural and cultural data coming from the "5 button" research, would also apply to touchscreen devices.

>>> Nokia's software was good and competent, but they simply don't have access to the mountains of UX data needed to develop the next generation of OS's to compete on the touch screen. This statement doesn't seem correct to me.

Not panning this, but isn't this Mythical Man-Month's observation? That the communication overhead increase in adding team members grows -exponentially- quadratically with the number of developers? (This does match my experience. 40+ teams

Yes... it's not very hard to reverse engineer. I'm not questioning the advantage (in my view it's a small roadblock if you're motivated enough to actually get the data) just stating an inane regulation...

There's a couple of regulations for selling GPS enabled devices in China (I am a software guy on a major PND manufacturer with products being sold in China). - The map data is scrambled (GPS coordinates are encrypted). - To correlate a G
