So what I did was reduce my price by a few dollars every hour for one day until everybody was priced under $5. Then I bought their books and changed my price back.

When a user goes to checkout of any online store, they're not going to read everything on every page. It's a process they're very familiar with so they're going to skim and click through quickly.

Laws like that might seem laughably extreme now but with every step in that direction they seem less and less so. Stallman sees this and he has dedicated his life to moving us in the opposite direction.

Should he know of and contribute to every one of the many groups and organizations involved in gender equality? And what exactly is wrong with the "I have black friends" defense?

Conceptually, I love every bit of bad Zynga news. I like to be reassured that a company will, in the long term, fail when its products are cynically designed to manipulate.

It was a pain, and it was a mess because every team did things differently and every API was different and based on different assumptions and written in a different language. But I want to correct the misperception that this lead to AWS. It didn't.

One day Facebook removed the ability to have private profile pictures - automatically converting every profile picture to public. Her sister saw the picture and long story short that was the last time she talked to her parents.

If you refuse, they build special websites, copying yours, with your IP and trademark and register adwords with your name, in every way possible. They also resell their solutions/websites to other people, using "Affiliate networks", so that once you take one down, 20 appear.

More than anything else, this describes an appalling failure at every level of the company's technical infrastructure to ensure even a basic degree of engineering rigor and fault tolerance. It's noble of the author to quit, but it's not his fault.

For every Watsi, we have a hundred bullshit companies with bullshit products, providing yet another means of idle distraction for indolent westerners. We can hardly distinguish between what is worthwhile and what is popular or profitable.

It seems that they go a few directions: The most common seems to be to try and generalize, because relearning most of your job skills every few years starts to get annoying the 20th time you've had to do it. It's different when you are younger and everything is new, you just chalk up a major tooling change as just something else to learn.

Osama bin Laden's legacy lives on with every traveler being herded through body scanners, with every illegal search in our 120-mile-radius Constitution-free zones, and with every warrantless wiretap. Until his legacy dies, he lives on, as strong as ever.

It was a flaw in her, and not everybody does that, right? Certainly not everybody. But I go to coffee shops now, I go to events, and people are just in cell phone huddles. A group of people will go out, and unanimously decide to prick and pinch and swipe their glass worship stones instead of having a fucking conversation or looking around them. This is everywhere.

It costs attackers nothing to try, attempts don't crash servers, and so people will try everywhere. If you lose an application in your data center / hosting environment, that's the ballgame. It doesn't matter that the app you lost was the testing instance of a status dashboard with no real data in it, because the exploit coughs up shell access on that server. If there is one thing every black-hat attacker in the world is truly gifted at, it is pivoting from shell access on one server to shell access on every goddam server.

And it seems like every single one of these problems could have been solved by a halfway competent manager. I mean, someone reverting your code because of a personal vendetta? Is that not like, a 5 minute conversation?" Hey, Jo, Dave's being an asshole and reverting my commits for no reason." "Oh, okay, I'll talk to him and make sure it stops." I read a great article a while back that I unfortunately can't find now, but it talked about a CEO who thought he was having a casual "hey, I'm interested in developing my skills, can you mentor me a bit?" conversation with another exec. A week later the office was ablaze with "so-and-so being groomed as successor" rumours. At a certain point you stop being able to just act like a regular person and have everything turn out fine.

Quora has now spent several years training me to be bummed out every time I click on a link to their site. Every time it happens, I dislike them more, and become more resistant to creating an account.

Every day, in every situation imaginable, there are hundreds of ways to meet people. There really are.
