The problem isn't Webkit, or even web developers targeting webkit. The problem is that we have a de facto standard for rounded corners on the web, and it's still not an accepted standard. The W3C designs and approves CSS draft specs on a schedule that makes IE development cycles look speedy. The web moves faster than that now.

The first CSS3 draft for the backgrounds and borders module was published in 2001. ELEVEN YEARS LATER it's still not a finalized standard. And the problem is developers?

I've been using -moz and -webkit and -o vendor prefixes for years now, with virtually no variation or change. Why don't we have a standardized border-radius yet? By the time the W3C actually settles on a standard, the industry will be twelve draft specs ahead of them in production for all practical purposes.

I really, really dislike the idea of non-webkit vendors implementing support for webkit prefixes. Stick to your own prefixes. Don't break the rules to make up for lazy or bad developers. That's a huge part of why IE was such a pain in our collective asses for so many years. When you coddle lazy or bad developers, you end up breeding an entire crop of developers who end up creating terrible legacy systems that will plague us for years to come. Just say no. If you have to do something, go ahead and implement the draft spec.

Developers: Use Sass or LESS or similar. Start worrying about presentation and stop worrying about implementation. Until the W3C gets its act together, use tools that help you do the right thing with the least amount of effort. Everyone wins.
While I agree with you that I am glad this has basically died because I too was worried about what would happen:

It is not in the jury's remit to "grasp the true ramifications of this claim". They have to judge it based solely on the merits of the case and the law being applied.

If Eolas had a valid case then they should be paid, even if it means problems with companies that are "too big to fail" and the rest of us.
Why did you have to, just now, create a dedicated account to say this if you honestly believed what you say?
There's always Python. I hear a lot about how it's a good language for beginning programmers. It has a very clean syntax, and in my opinion, is very easy to read.

With the new Open Graph verbs and their extend meta information I wonder if a noun could sponsor a story?

Say, instead of Spotify trying to sponsor specific artists; the artist it self could sponsor any popular Open graph story whether it be from Rdio, MOG or Spotify.

So someone like Foster the People could pay for any Listen[artist='Foster The People'] to be sponsored.
WolframAlpha Pro: The key idea is automation
We live in times where owning a ".com" domain can get you extradited if you don't abide by the law of the US.

I'm not sure of the Data Protection Act has any limitations on which companies it covers, but since Path put an app in the UK App Store (they could have easily excluded it), that would seem to be ample jurisdiction from my armchair-internet-lawyer standpoint.

I agree with most of the advice but med school is the one advice I would for the most part disagree with if we are talking about generalizations which the article for the most part does. Med school in general is still a winning proposition, while it is true the market is a mess and insurance companies have limited the up side, the reality is the majority of doctors do well. My wife went back to med school and should she decide to practice she would do quite well. Med school is one of the few that I would consider if I where at the point in my life where I was making a decision on education.

I take it you're suggesting that his acknowledgment of her marriage implies an obvious understanding that she is not available as a sexual candidate, but his reference to her as sexy still reveals his approval of her appearance with regard to her value as a sexual partner for anyone (in this case, her new husband, who he points out is lucky to have her)
Ah, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I haven't had to deal with that sort of problem yet - thanks for the explanation!
Thansk dkrich. What I find pretty funny is that I definitely complimented hipmunk. Pretty sure I said it was useful and had a wonderful interface haha. I never insulted them but merely stated the reason why I don't use it. But for some reason not being head over heels in love with the product, having something slightly critical to say gets people incredibly defensive.

I also don't have any ill will towards Hipmunk, I think the product looks great. But yes, I also agree that, for flights, travel isn't 'broken' so badly. If it was, Hipmunk would be overflowing with users. Last article I read they were having trouble attracting new users.

Now for other forms of transportation . . . I'm going to have to disagree with you that travel isn't broken.

There's only one thing I don't get, and I must really not get it because nobody else has mentioned it at all, on either side. The context of "recent marriage" seems like exactly the appropriate time to bring up someone's physical attractiveness. That's in some sense the whole goddamn point of sexiness in the first place! It's like he said she was funny before mentioning that she won a comedy award.

I mean, I am certainly not implying that attractiveness is central to marriage, which it obviously isn't, nor can a successful long-term relationship depend primarily on physical attraction. It is relevant, though, and that'll never change.
CSS3 Background and Borders is a candidate recommendation, which means in most recent browsers it can already be used unprefixed.
If less & co would automatically abstract css vendor-specific features just like Jquery abstracts javascript DOM access methods, you'd be right, but as far as I can see on the main page http://lesscss.org/ you still have to declare it by hand, so it doesn't work that way. Using less doesn't make styling widely compatible out of the box. Looks like what we need is less-like frameworks to evolve into cross-platform abstraction layers.
From the screenshots I'd say that you are talking about a Desktop/Web application?

In that case, It'd have to be significantly better than e.g. Google Reader (which got a little crippled unfortunately).
Personally, some of the most important features would be, that it has colour schemes (e.g. like the Vim Solarised scheme) and allows offline caching/easy, good e.g. pdf export.

However, I have to admit that a decent mobile (iOS, WP7, etc.) Application would be of much greater interest to me, as that is where the advantage of a RSS reader significantly comes into play due to the much more limited screen estate.

And it reached that Candidate Recommendation status nearly one year ago, only ten years after it was first introduced.

I'm picking on border-radius because it's an easy target, but the fact remains that large pieces of CSS3 remain in "working draft" statuses. Microsoft went all cowboy and gunked up the web with their "standards be damned, we'll do it live" approach to IE, and since then, other browser vendors have been extremely spec compliant in an attempt to avoid the same sort of mess that IE got us into, but they're hogtied by a standards body that takes longer to work out border-radius than it takes for most web companies to be born, flourish, and die.
So this is how it begins. A long and very informative article with no pictures.

I'd prefer KA to emphasize content -- quality content made by solid educators in their respective field -- over delivery method.

Depending on what you mean by "educators," I might prefer that Khan Academy (and a bajillion different competing providers) offer up content by actual domain experts rather than content by "educators." It is, of course, possible for a person to be both a domain expert in actual fact and a secondary school teacher by occupational category--I've seen Richard Dedekind described as an example, although I'm not sure I'd describe his teaching position as one resembling that of a high school teacher in the United States. But anyway the correct idea that content has to be both factually accurate and appropriate to guide the development of young learners does not constrain content-creation only to persons with the formal credentials of schoolteachers. Many of the best learning materials for young people today were produced by authors who were not K-12 schoolteachers in any stage of their career.
Agreed. Hipmunk tries to be a good interface when there are a dozen similarly priced flights to choose from, but in my experience, there is one carrier with good prices and good connections for a given route, and then choosing which of their two flight options for a given day is easy enough with Kayak's tools.

I think they are cool enough that they will get enough funding to be able to compete with the big players. But that is precisely my point, they aren't different enough that they will attract organic traffic from people saying 'wow, my kayak experience was truly awful, let me try an alternative service'. They are better, so perhaps a gradual migration will occur, but yes, I think with the product they have not being different enough, they need to pursue some aggressive advertising etc.

The version brought to the test had more computing power for the one conversation, and other tune-ups IIRC.

EDIT: http://cleverbot.com/human

"Cleverbot was given more processing power for this test than it can be online. It had two dedicated, fast computers with solid state drives while talking to just 1 or 2 people at once. Online there are often 1000 people talking to each machine. We know you'd all love to talk to it the powerful version, but we need a lot more servers first! "
Would they actually (out loud, audibly) object to those comments, or would they just "never make or defend" them?

I ask because letting these things slide, or worse letting the comments seem approved-of by mass silence, is doing active harm.
I think the point is, we are in the same department, so to speak, and in the context we were specifically interested in her professional qualifications. But I agree that in the personal scenario above, when you just ask "who was that?", you likely don't know or care much about her professional qualifications. It was a bad analogy.
Is this necessarily sexist? He's not showing any belief in being superior to women, nor is he discriminating against her in any way. In fact, he complimented her at length on her professional success.

At one point he described her as a sexy single woman. He even mentioned her husband and asked for him to stand up. While I would consider that to be a very odd and uncomfortable way to end his introduction, it doesn't seem sexist. If somebody went on at length about how great I am professionally, and then threw in a statement about me being a sexy single man, I'm pretty sure I'd just consider it as an added complement.

I understand there is real sexism in the industry. I just don't think this is it. It's just an odd comment from a person who may be odd/uncomfortable around women.
Her attractiveness may have to do with her recent marriage, but what did her recent marriage have to do with anything?

They weren't at her wedding reception, or at a private party, or in any other social situation where that topic might be appropriate. Instead, they were in a professional setting, about to discuss a professional topic, about which she had many credentials. Why is it at all appropriate to bring up her recent marriage?

Use a DNS provider that does URL forwarding. I use Joker for this but I'm sure other registrars do too.
We also have to remember that the Turing test isn't a real measure of intelligence. After all a computer following rules is NOT any more intelligent than the rules themselves.

For example, if someone gave me a ton of rules on how to convert sentences from English to another language, and the output was amazing, would that mean I'm intelligent? Not likely, just that I can follow the language conversion rules.

I think the issue is that too much emphasis is being put on Turing tests as a measure of intelligence when in fact it's really more a measure of how well a computer can follow conversations and social norms. Just because you can fool a real person, doesn't mean you're intelligently interacting with that person. Just like if I can fool another person I can speak another language by following translation rules, it doesn't actually mean I can speak the other language at all!
Yes, that was my argument. I believe it stands until a semantic context for "completely peaceful and nice" can be proposed that is disjoint in meaning from "nonviolent and voluntary".
It could be resolved in one hour. It could be resolved by a coin toss for god's sake. Heads: webkit's syntax. Tails: mozilla's syntax. Done.

The problem is that neither vendor is willing to solve it in one hour. They want to get their own way. It's simply arrogance.

How To Bypass Paypal Payment For Free Softwares Ebooks ect
I use Kayak a lot. I don't know the quality in the US, but in Europe it is working great. But, I have never installed the Kayak App, why? Because of the insane number of permissions it is requesting, like getting my unique ID, my phone number, the right to call for me, etc. This just says: "I will not respect your privacy." way better than any TOS.

OT: This is something I simply hate from the Apps in general (on Android in my case), they request way too many rights for most of them.
I think it's darkly amusing that someone from a pre-launch travel startup (that could only generously be described as a "feature not a product") would blog about how Hipmunk is all rounded corners and Ashton Kutcher. I have no affiliation to any of these companies except that I'm a HN regular who used to use Kayak and then immediately, intuitively saw that Hipmunk was a vastly more useable experience. Do I think I'm absolutely right? No, because it's deeply subjective. Vive la différence.

Generally I'm immediately wary of any negative post that starts off with a disclaimer about how much respect the author has for the soon-to-be casualties of their rant. You're all buds, but you have no idea why their business needs to exist. Right.

People roll the bones on all sorts of dumb-sounding concepts, and yet we're all still humbled every time there's a big win and we didn't built it. So here's to hoping I'm wrong about nobody having a Mozio-shaped hole in their lives, right? Respect!
I totally disagree about the usefulness of the Hipmunk interface: visualizing it is exactly what I need because for $X dollars I'm wiling to wake up a little earlier, or get in a little later and the opposite.

The reason I no longer use Hipmunk is that every ticket I've gotten from them (4 round trips total) has been standby, and I was never told that when I bought it. I was moved to a later flight because I was standby on the last one and the experience was soiled for me.

I assume your talking about the Chinese Room? (LINK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room)

I actually agree, but for different reasons. I don't think human judges (That is, NORMAL human judges, non-geeks.) are a good measure of an entities intelligence. I personally have managed to convince at least one person that I'm a machine.

Sufficiently good pattern matching to produce reasonable-enough sounding sentences would probably fool most casual observers. For me, the validity to a turing test relies heavily on how long and under how much pressure the A.I has to keep up it's illusion of humanity.

A more objective test of intelligence would be nice though.
While I wouldn't go so far as to call him an "idiot," I do think he should be shifting his focus towards emergent phenomena on the Internet rather than a single silicon mind in a box. He's stuck in a 20th century perspective.

Future Prospects of E-Commerce in India
What is the difference? A startup is a business by definition.
I've been considering that; built-in CF SSD, and maybe a large capacity external USB drive (5400rpm laptop HDD in a "icydock" screwless holder). The internal would be fast, hold my OS, be enough for everday tasks, and the external could be for my media storage. This would probably improve battery life as well. I seem to recall that Linux gets significantly worse battery life than OS X on Mac hardware, not quite sure why, probably keeping more things active on average due to lower hw/sw coupling.
In my personal opinion, I think "all consuming" just lacks optimization.

Isaac Newton and Michelangelo didn't know any better. At their time, their process was the only one.

At this moment, we have learned to work smarter, not harder. You can definitely have kids and do a great work. Hell you can have multiple companies and do a great job.

Our time is more focused on having a full life, not only focusing on one thing but also being able to hustle between all the aspects of life.

Myth or not myth doesn't mean that it is the only way. And even if geniuses like Newton and Michelangelo followed a way of doing things, doesn't mean it is the only way.

Besides even if you kill yourself working, doesn't mean you'll be successful. If you stay focused and work smart, you have better odds at success.

There is actually a silent demand for Clojure developers and a lot of it is not completely in the web space. A lot of people working with it are actually working on some cool problems. I recently researched the market because I had made a commitment a long time ago to learn a Lisp dialect and am just now getting around to actually doing it. I was surprised to see such a health and well paying market for it and the problem domain they where solving for where pretty interesting.
The Collison Brothers and Story Behind The Founding Of Stripe
In my eyes, your take on things is very far from the live-and-let-live stance that you appear to want to adopt. It's more like social engineering.

You continue to be free to do your art for free and without concern for profit; in no way does someone else doing their art for profit affect your ability to make your choice. So what gives you the right to champion something that 'removes economic concern from the art'? How does your desire not to have your output be property - totally your choice - square with your desire to deny choice to others?

Another point oft-heard is that 'people won't stop making art' - which is a selfish, parasitic argument if I have every heard one. For years I worked producing independent musicians - you might not pay for art that you experience, but I assure you someone does - there is no free lunch.

I have seen indie musicians burn tens of thousands trying to monetize their art; have seen marriages and relationships end - and careers end. My point here isn't about piracy - a much more important point is for consumers to respect the work that goes into the content they consume. The art you consume 'freely' may appeal to your idealistic side, as though you are removing commerce from art - but all you are actually doing is turning a blind eye to the cost. There is always someone paying a price so that you might have it for 'free'.

Once upon a time, people grew their own foods, hunted them - people worked with their hands -people had an intrinsic sense of the burden of production. I think one bad side-effect of the internet is that it has removed people so far from the means of production that they are incapable of appreciating the work that goes into what appears in front of them.

I am not trying to be too pejorative, but it really is like a child who is used to just stating their urge - whether for food, drink, or sleep - and having a benevolent force [parents] provide those things on-demand.

We have fair-trade products from a to z and yet the work of artists isn't worth .01. Really??
