Doesn't appear to guess correctly in Chrome 15 on OS X (10.7.2). I'm not sure exactly what the 'whoops' means for google - but I've obviously visited HN and have visited a few of the others as well.
Well it's great that they would be creating more jobs but it wouldn't fix the fact that people got bailed out and then used that money for their bonuses.
While it's not drag & drop, you should take a look at beets (http://beets.radbox.org/). It's written in Python and has fairly active development. It uses the MusicBrainz database for cataloging music and is pretty customizable as far as directory structure etc.
Exactly. All of the points made about free or semi-free education can just as easily be applied to the 'harder' subjects, and while there are plenty of examples of well-versed, successful, self-trained members of all disciplines, they are generally the exception and not the rule.
Not quite as easily. First, learning those subjects often requires access to specialized equipment and facilities. Second, depending on your threshold for "successful," a liberal arts degree may not be much more helpful than self-study. The typical result of a liberal arts degree seems to be that the student has spent a lot of time learning about the field in question but still has little chance of being employed in that area. By comparison, a degree in engineering brings a huge improvement in employability as an engineer.
I'd say it has at least a bit to due with sampling bias - many of the more prolific content-creators on the internet are more likely to comment on the passing of Jobs than Steinman.
I agree that it does seem a bit vague. I get the idea of wanting to pique interest, but I'm also loathe to give you my e-mail address with so little information about what you mean by delivering internet justice.
My initial impression: I think I "get" what your site is used for, but I'm having trouble really envisioning the "work-flow" of the process.
I would probably remedy this by either: 1) make the three "use" descriptions clickable and lead to a larger explanation of each use or 2) a short screencast video showing how the site's process works.
Overall I think the redesigns were a step in the right direction.
edit: After perusing the site a bit more, I came across the "Take a Tour" link on your "About" page. This tour addresses some of the issues I'm talking about and you'd be better served if it were immediately available (i.e. on the landing page).
Got it. We did many things to remedy the issues you're talking about, but hid some of them so we can focus on getting users to actually try our tool first.
More people joining a pool doesn't increase your personal Bitcoin production (in theory), it simply lowers your variance. That is, your payments will become smaller but more steady.
Actually, I'm almost certain that AngelusWebDesign (on Bitcoin.org) and Matthew (on Bitcoin-Board.com) are one-in-the-same. As I understand it, he runs Bitcoin-Board and simply cross-posts all his stuff.
The author addresses the first issue in the paragraph preceding the one you quoted.
As it currently stands, most 'confirmation e-mails' I get also provide an 'if this isn't you' section. All the author is arguing is that we can do away with the confirmation part and keep the 'if this isn't you' part for those edge cases where a person's email address has been used by someone other than said person.
That's already the case, isn't it? All emails contain the "if this isn't you part", so the case of the person who didn't request the email is unchanged.
