The Swartz Prize? I like that namesake better than some others

"Criticism of Nobel focuses on his leading role in weapons manufacturing and sales, and some question his motives in creating his prizes, suggesting they are intended to improve his reputation."

Was the Amazon/IMDB coming-together called an "acquisition"? Can that model be copied for Apple & DuckDuckGo?

Will a funny 30 second video to kick off your fantasy football draft ever not be worth $100?

I think the reason has nothing to do with the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, X, XR or XS. I think the reason has to do with 2 back-to-back iOS updates that didn't hugely slow down my iPhone 7 Plus.

I'm used to really wanting the newer iPhone when I update iOS 12 months after buying but the last 2 updates haven't fit that mold.

I can confirm the 12 character limit. I'm hopeful that will change as part of this.

Nothing on PHP?

Did anyone really thing Pixel Buds were going to be the must-have headphones for everyone? It was a cool example of applied technology that grabbed a bunch of headlines and gave people something to think about (what if I could talk to everyone regardless of language?)

The slides in the office are there to get press; the earphones that are clearly not going to be a huge seller are there to get press.

They're going to remove my "Open with Spotify" button aren't they

The worst part about this whole thing is the lack of clarity (or a simple landing page) describing the difference between a Logitech Hub & Logitech Link. I've had a Hub for years and didn't know the difference; had a hard time the last week or so determining whether I was affected or not.

It sounds like your argument is just to outsource coding standards to the framework's team.

Does this imply you think Microsoft>Tesseract or are you asking what the consensus is?

I'm not signing up unless I can run my phone number and see what comes back first. Don't see any place to do that.

In all fairness they have a pretty robust API, couldn't someone write one if they chose?

I like the post but I think you're incorrect on cause. I don't think it's a matter of how large or small the provider is; I think it's a matter of empowering customer support reps (a rose by any other name: the people you talk to on behalf of providers.)

When the rep has the ability to make decisions and give these small deals I think they often will and your blog post is the reason why: it's not hard to see that the discount was relatively minor (I imagine you're not breaking the bank with your monthly GitHub bill) and by giving it to you their downside is the small temporary discount while the upside is a nice blog post praising them and lock-in loyalty for the rest of the life of your company.

Big company example would be Amazon. Every time I have an issue and email them I am amazed by how reasonable they are in the first email. No "here's a bad offer and I'll go talk to 'my boss' about a better one only once you yell at me", no "sorry you should have read the terms of service" but rather "here's the obviously reasonable solution, have a nice day sir"

Can you browse the App Store on iOS using Firefox? Seems like a bit of a red herring issue to be honest.

Jab jab jab...RIGHT HOOK

Continues to surprise me that there isn't some kind of registrar service as part of the suite of services provided via AWS. I suppose ditto to the Google Cloud platform. This is great, I'm especially drawn to the built in "up to 100" email aliases. Sounds like it may only cover the receiving of @your_company.com emails and not sending but definitely a nice start, particularly in a Google Apps is pay-only world.

I'll take things I may consider putting on my girlfriend's computer for $400 Alex.

Interesting, by position would probably be more interesting. Or "position group" e.g. DB's, CB's & S's

They retail for ~$900 not their alleged start price of ~$1300 but still a deal.

I can confirm that they definitely sold one today. Also strange that shipping is zero but "FEE" is $3 on final checkout.

You should teach kids not to output PHP warnings in production.

I've been shocked by the caliber of Amazon's customer service. Pleasantly shocked that is. Also imagine AWS has at least some privacy controls. I find it unlikely Bezos has Netflix's monthly AWS bcced to him in secret.

Made me smile for a minute but really unpractical. I'll probably register aksjfgkahgiowetiuwj.info from Godaddy for 99cents just to get involved

Makes sense, honestly though I'm a fairly tech savvy dude and I didn't realize this at first. Probably more of a UX debate than anything else.

I think the lack of definition of "iOS 7 optimized" is what is confusing to those of us who haven't developed apps on iOS.

I think your assumptions are incorrect.

I like the idea of prepaying bit coins on bounties [presumably tied to an issue/bug report in GitHub] which is what I thought this was at first. As is seems a bit confusing, are all commits treated equally? I'd be peeved if I donated money then saw it get split up among people who did minor clean up, typo fixes, etc. Flip side, I'd be peeved if I spent a bunch of time on a commit then saw the same money go to someone doing a typo fix level commit.

Don't know if the whole intrinsic/extrinsic motivations factor will make this idea crater in any form but I think tweaking the current model is advisable in any case.

Best of luck.

For the search you should add a dropdown: domain begins with keyword, domain ends with keyword & either

Is there a one sentence TLDR in English to summarize?
