I believe this is the point, rather than being mundane. Other video conference tools are not able to offer this debugging option - which you have pointed out is useful.

I was part of this test - I've refused to install the app for years (I prefer websites and the option to open tabs for later browsing).

It was extremely annoying for a site I've used for 12+ years to treat me like that. It did massively cut my usage of Reddit (which I would consider to be quite high), I primarily access it from my phone and I all but stopped using it for the week or so I was in the "experiment".

Not sure where you got this from, but this is entirely incorrect.

What happens if/when another country (China? India?) introduces a similar law, requiring a company that operates there to make data on u.s citizens available even if its stored outside of the country. Will these companies stop operating in these markets?

Forgetting Buzz?

Unfortunately most of the issues come from WordPress being written for a web that existed 10 years ago. Static pages with little dynamic content.

This doesn't really work on a more "modern" style of site, where the content is more dynamic and changeable.

Again, a lot of these issues only really arise when your product moves past being a blogging-style platform (such as happened to us), but this is something that either WP, or the WP community, seems to be striving for more and more.

Thats a scary thought.. :) But also yes, some hope.

I can appreciate what wordpress has achieved over the years, and what it has helped to create. But the current wordpress code base is a nightmare to work with, and doesn't scale well.

Having said that, it is an excellent blogging platform and CMS, but this is something that is usually forgotten, resulting in it finding itself shoehorned into the most inappropriate places.

Those banners (in most cases) are not you turning on or off cookies. The bbc sets cookies immediately (they do allow you to unset some here http://www.bbc.co.uk/privacy/cookies/managing/cookie-setting...), but you already have a session cookie that will last 4 years once the page is loaded.

Most sites will state they are assuming consent based on your continued usage of the site.

No, they just have to remove anns access to any team based information, same as she was prior to joining?

Would be nice to be able to sign up and submit feedback without having to submit a site, there doesn't appear to be any way to do that at present?

Looks great, quick question someone may be able to answer: in the license he says "[free to use in] any personal or commercial work...Do not redistribute or sell", which is fair enough, but does that restrict use in paid-for apps (such as on mobile devices etc)?

It was discussed during the webcast of the last launch, they said to save fuel. Presumably there's a more technical discussion around it, but that seems to be the gist of it.

As I mentioned above, I believe he's referring to the 400 year history of map making which Apple appears to have ignored, in part at least.

I believe the 400 years is referring to Apple failing on basic principles of map making which have been around for a long time. Possibly a reference to "Nova totius Terrarum Orbis", a famous atlas from 1630?

We used something similar for our support requests, a helpful piece to add may ad block. You can check if ad block is on by trying to load some js on a path with usual ad block triggers.

Dublin bikes is a huge success, but is heavily subsidised by a private firm in return for advertising space around the city, along with some local government investment.

Just my 2 cents, but I did not/do not know what gittip is. The above link invites me to sign in using github, I'm extremely cautious of logging in using github anywhere as my personal account is also my work account.

Any page where I can land and be asked to log in should do a better job of saying what you do, especially where trust is involved.

Seems this will be fixed in some manner. From Wil Wheatons post on the same topic -

+Vic Gundotra says "We are doing exactly what you requested. We should have contemplated and anticipated how people would abuse this and how painful this could be for celebrities with large followings.

We have pushed a number of fixes yesterday (some were bug fixes that showed up at scale). Expect more fixes today. Sorry for the trouble Will."

Maybe tweak volume on video? (cant hear it)

Interestingly, linkedin did just that whe the gawker list was leaked (iirc).

Not done by spacex, they made this vid to demonstration the idea - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSF81yjVbJE

I dont know of any ship that has the ability to land like that, except for craft in development like from blue origins - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NANePoo_p30

I believe the Soyuz uses rockets to slow its decent before it hits the ground, but thats to assist the parachute rather than replace them.

"without Space-X, NASA would never have had a reference to work off", this works both ways.

If its part of the license agreement, they would have no choice (clearly, IANAL).

These should probably never be used in an actual list on a real website. Its impossible to skim them (at a stretch, maybe with *skew") and makes them incredibly hard to use.

Until you meet a monetized video, and will likely be "not available on mobile", since they cant prevent you easily copying that video etc etc.

Has there been any movement on a secure way to use the <video> tag yet?

Hardware dependant? Siri was shown running on pre-4s devices (3g if I recall correctly) before apple bought them.

Nice effect, may want to use your no-script version in IE, as it appears quite broken in IE 9.

Assuming this is one of the standard JSON plugins for wordpress, be cautious of what this may do to the main sites load. The default install can force calls to skip the total-caching plugin most sites use, as it wont use the cache on any request with parameters.

AFAIK google doesn't check extensions, similar to how the android market is run.
