This is why I've given up on Airbnb, reverting to hotels for my 90 days on the road each year. Staying in someone's home, which they care about, can be nice. The guy with 12 apartments and untrained cleaning staff doesn't car

It's not because you “look different”. You're pointing a video camera in people's faces without asking. That's very rude.

How many of these transactions are tulip-style speculation, and how many are real use of bitcoins as a currency for exchanging labour and goods?

Disregarding the current date, this is actually a great idea. Instant gratification for a fee. Yes, I'd pay for that. They could recruit their experts from the community itself, limited to those over a certain karma threshold, adding furthe

Oh, they were paid. About 20-30% less than they could have made elsewhere. Money matters less when you love what you do, and you know the company is struggling. And when the company yields record profits, they are kicked out. A little human

I can only speculate, and I don't think that's particularly helpful. The 2010 downsizing was quite transparent. This time no ordinary employees seem to have the full picture of what exactly is going in.

It's worse than the article describes. Those laid off are terrified to say anything publicly. From what I can gather, the total may be double the quoted number. In addition, morale is at rock bottom, with a number of people leaving on their

All of this may be true. What are you going to do about it? Remain in that hole of sweet self-pity until retirement? As the song goes: "it's not going to stop - till you wise up". It's easy and comfortable to give up and whine instead. I kn

This is a sad day, although probably inevitable. This is the beginning of the end for Presto. I put years of my life into that engine. A fool's errand, of course, since we were completely outgunned and outmanned by the competition. I'm glad

Of course. The American system is in dire need of reform in the direction of actual rehabilitation, but adopting a carbon copy of the Norwegian system overnight would be a terrible idea. The current economic system of the United States push

Yes. We really only have two options. Removing the convicted criminal completely from society forever - or rehabilitation. We have chosen the latter. The horrible crime Breivik is convicted of is far beyond anything our lawmakers ever took

I've spent seven years of my life at Opera, quitting just a few months ago. I've reached the exact same conclusions as ppk. Owning both a browser and the applications running in it is an immensely powerful combination, as demonstrated by Go

(Disclaimer: I'm chair of the W3C working group working on the automation spec, and co-chair of the W3C testing effort.) There are several efforts converging at one point here. First, W3C is writing a bunch of specs. HTML, CSS, DOM and so o
