However, Salmon's incentives aren't aligned the same and regardless of his desire to show a lack of bias to be a "good journalist", there is a point that he stands a lot to gain if his critique of Andreessen becomes popular. Sure, he makes

The solution is to learn color and how it works. Start with something like color theory: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory

Have these types of things happened on Kickstarter before (or has anyone attempted to just completely game the system?) What types of recourse do investors have? Any?

I wonder if this has something to do with environment or just personal insecurity.

Not really. In that situation you're telling people you know how to do something you don't. In this situation you're telling people you have no idea but can probably figure it out.

Sure. On the flip side of my argument there is also something to say: quite a few startup designers could learn a lot from following such a process at some point. There's a lot of "copy this guy's design, it converted well for his product!"

Not quite sure this applies too much in startupland. There does appear to be a shift away from traditional IA practices with most startup designers, but largely because it takes too damn long and really isn't that necessary. Proper IA/wiref

We are still missing each other somewhere here. I'm not saying that this article doesn't help, but I'm saying it's the equivalent of pouring water on a fire, and we're ignoring the systemic cultural stuff that started the fire in the firs

Is there such thing as a "do not mail" list? If it is possible to opt-out of private (tele)marketing and block spam, then logically it should be possible to opt out of this service too.

That's not what I'm getting at at all. This might be the most misunderstood thing I've written. If this keeps up I'll likely rewrite again. Read my last paragraph in my post again, please. What I'm trying to get at is that if you want to re

People are misunderstanding; it's time for an edit. What I'm trying to get at is that awareness alone is not going to solve this issue , and we are very narrowly focused on this "Be aware!" thing. You're not going to self-correct big thing

Younger generations are often more malleable than older ones. There is a reason why many cultures have a proverb similar to the "old dog, new tricks". I'm not saying that there's nothing we can do now, but the kind of change you're looking

Why are we are focusing consistently on a short-term solution to what seems like a larger issue? I personally don't see a quick fix to all of this, and it seems to me that the real solution is more holistic than we seem to be pushing for. I

Winer put this whole debate succinctly. Hypocritical comments like this often seem to stem from one of two things: a desire to drum up needless press conflict or a complete lack of self-awareness. Perhaps Google has gotten the best of itsel

Heh, that's not how most people think. It's more like: Security! It's a total non-issue! Why would anyone want to break my app? Most people seem to feel this way until their apps are dumped, rooted, hacked, or they just end up thinking secu

Cocky, rash, and likely to be burned by YC is more likely the thing here. If you want YC to pay attention to what you're doing, why confront it and ask for a challenge? If you're starting your own company why are you asking for a challenge

This really sounds like a game for hardcore programmers (16-bit emulation, "assembly in space" as h2s called it.) Minecraft is far more accessible: will this really gain nearly as much traction?

MX/A records can be useful for this as well.

Yes, they can, if not in staff in tenacity.

I have a basic understanding of how viruses work at the cellular level. The problem is that DRACO doesn't seem to kill the virus; it stops its propagation. There is a big difference in the way it works from a broad-spectrum antibiotic and s

The thing that worries me about DDG is their reliance on others' search engines. If there was ever a true defection from one of the big guys' services to DDG (i.e., if DDG was actually blowing up), it seems to me they'd just replicate man

If that happened, I'd just take greater advantage of online return policies if something was completely off from what was expected. A thorough reading of user reviews usually stops you from buying anything egregiously bad.

I'm missing a bit of the logic here, then. If I kill the cells infected, won't the latent viruses go and infect a different cell anyway? DRACO appears to be a medical scorched-earth policy.

Yes. In many cases, I don't think it has anything to do with employees wanting to be there. The problem I've found is that most managers (and VCs) I've met seem to think that if you aren't devoting your life to your code monastery, you aren

Let's also not forget that the whole flags/arguments debate is often not really that useful in todays *nix command line, either. I'd love to see more command-line utilities work like the Heroku gem and less like sed. (Yes, I know it breaks

Doesn't this defeat the purpose of using such a system? It's like installing all of Windows 7 Ultimate just to run Notepad.

This is the same hardware as the XO stylus in a different case. Same OEM for both. They look great, the demos are wonderful, but user reviews say that they don't work well in the upper third of the screen and require frequent recalibration.

Yes. I own one. It is by far the best of the capacitive styli, hands down. It isn't perfect but is the closest thing you will get to perfect without dropping $100+ for something like the XO[1], which is a bit buggy from what I've seen and y
