A. Have that yellow button be buy now, not read the story. Have the story on the product page.

B. Way too many clicks to order, something like 5 pages to get to checkout. I think it should be Home -> product -> checkout. There's a reason Amazon loves it's one-click.
Making a game in 48 hours: The Eccentricities of Molyjam Deux
Last weekend I jumped in and participated in the 2013 What Would Molydeux 48-hour game jam. My team and I built a fun, beautiful, if rough, flash game in under 48 hours, and had a great time doing it. Here's how.
Things get a lot better when you do a ducted fan approach, preferably with variable geometry and/or counter-rotating rotors. Electrical engines also have the advantage of being more maneuverable, which means that creating an Osprey-like design with both VTOL and flight with wings will be mechanically much simpler. You need wings to have efficient forward flight, and I think a design like this will not be practical until we use a purely electrical design.

Side note: Crohn's doesn't really have anything to do with gluten. Some people claim a GF diet helps them, but the disease itself is different to Celiac, and there's not much hard evidence to show that a GF diet helps in any way.
Or, in Haskell, it could even just be

foos = [2, 4]

even the fact that the 2 and 4 refer to foos can be inferred, as long as Foo behaves like a number and you make it part of the Num typeclass. It's pretty cool!

So, oddly enough, static typing can actually make your code less noisy rather than more.

I would be willing to bet that this will never make its way into a consumer product or even a hardcore hobbyist product. Even human-powered winged flight is on the borders of what is anatomically and physically possible, and helicopters are even farther out on the feasibility scale. It's cool for a proof of concept, but you won't be able to improve this design by an order of magnitude even with weightless materials.

This could be really huge for me. I've tried using Google Calendar to get Google Now, but none of the todo apps I prefer sync with it, and Google Now isn't that useful on a Wifi-only tablet anyway.

EDIT:
Wow. This is the best-designed (both looks and interaction) calendar app I've ever used. Everything you want is immediately available - maps show up if an event has a location (wish you could switch to Google maps instead of Apple maps, but no biggie), instant contact buttons show up if a contact is recognized at an event, when you delete a repeating event it asks you if you want to delete all of them, etc, etc, etc. It's taken almost every pain point I've had with other calendar apps and fixed them almost perfectly. The gesture-based navigation is also really good, though a couple of the thresholds need slight adjusting.

This is great.

OpenShift – Free PaaS IaaS from Red Hat
OpenShift is a cloud computing platform as a service product from Red Hat. A version for private cloud is named OpenShift Enterprise.

The software that runs the service is open-sourced under the name OpenShift Origin, and is available on GitHub. Developers can use Git to deploy web applications in different languages on the platform.

Uniquely, OpenShift also supports binary programs that are web applications, so long as they can run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This allows the use of arbitrary languages and frameworks. OpenShift takes care of maintaining the services underlying the application and scaling the application as needed.

I would call ensuring the survival of the platform they want to market as "advancing ... Mozilla's purpose".

To ensure the survival of that platform, they're going to need a native alternative to the HTML5/JS or whatever non-native APIs they're providing.

Perhaps they'll be successful on low-end hardware where applications and games don't matter, but non-native stuff is a long ways from the battery life and performance metrics that native apps can provide.

The right tool for the right job. And non-native SDKs are not yet the right tool for every job.
I mostly sell software to businesses rather than selling balsamic sauce to upper middle class women but, hey, if you want free advice:

1) Every e-commerce company ever will tell you to offer "Free shipping" even if you have to build it into the price of the bottle. Your target customer doesn't care about the difference between $15 and $20 but, oddly, she does care about paying five whole dollars to ship something she could "just pick up at the store."

2) You're currently selling authentic, which is better than selling nothing at all, but authenticity is not the primary driver of the food purchasing decisions of upper-income Americans. Some options which would complement authenticity: exclusive ("not like the kind you get at the supermarket" / (generally not explicit but heavily implied) "better than what the poor people put on their caprece"), healthy (oh God is that a big one), decadent, social conscience (produced by small family-owned farms rather than big evil agribusiness) etc.

Yes, there's a bit of tension between someone wanting to use class consciousness as conspicuous consumption, but meet your customer where she is at -- and she is at Starbucks.

3) She doesn't care about your story. She cares about her story. Does this make her better than the other moms of the PTA who buy $5 balsamic at the supermarket? If so, lead with that, support with your story.

4) Get some photos of people on your site. Laura of Laura in the Kitchen, for example, as she is a good stand-in for your customer's ideal self. Failing that, if someone who is involved in actually making the balsamic has camera appeal, use them instead.

5) Do some deep thoughts on where people are in the purchasing process when they find you. If they're sure they want this, you don't put the "BUY OUR STUFF" nearly front and center enough. If they're not, your current focus on persuading them that you're the best balsamic makes more sense.
<title> tag has a typo.
While certainly subjective, I don't agree that it is transformative. Consider the model is for a user to upload the copyrighted lyrics first and then they and/or others create annotations on top. Put another way, Rap Genius is essentially inducing users to upload copyrighted lyrics in order to make use of their annotation service.

That aside, even the resulting product does not seem to fit the "originality" test:

"Revisions, annotations or other cosmetic alterations to the work do not qualify as originality; the work must be unique to the author, using only minor elements of other copyrights. The court generally defines this as 'distinguishable variation' between the two works. In other words, the works must be obviously substantially different for the change to be considered transformative under law."

While the annotation layer is certainly unique and distinguishable, the lyrics are not "transformed" into a distinguishable variation, they are left in their original state on their site.

Most heart attacks are small and not immediately life threatening. Some are dangerous but they tend not to be survivable anyway.

Most Americans wait over two hours to seek care for a heart attack! Cost is a big reason why—even a false alarm can cost several months of income. If people had the privilege of taking the time to comparison shop and drive out of their way for a good deal, they would probably get care faster.

Your analysis seems to be pretty shallow on this, particularly, it seems presume that the income tax can go away with everything else operating as is with no effect except taxpayers not paying the tax.
You never actually mention the size of the bottles. So, $15 for what? Okay if I look at the image maybe I see 7.95 fl oz? Maybe 2.95 fl oz? 235 ml. How big is that? How big is that bottle I usually buy at Trader Joe's for $4? e.g. am I paying a 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x premium for this balsamic? How much different does nice balsamic really have in the taste anywhere? These are all my questions as a low-end balsamic buyer.
Absolutely that's a problem with Android. It's a natural consequence of having a platform where apps are free to access pretty much any hardware in the background with no review (that's a good thing if you're a developer though).

However, Android gives you tools to see which apps are using the most battery, and you can uninstall them if they're a problem.

Recently I noticed much worse battery life on my nexus 4, opened up the battery stats, and saw 30% of my battery usage was the consequence of a messaging app I don't use, deleted it, and got back to normal.
Good question. I've never thought about why there aren't more savory foods out there that use oatmeal. Seems like all the oatmeal-based foods I've seen are sweet.

"upper middle class women" "moms of the PTA"

holy wtf dude?
That's very impressive.

To put that into perspective, that's a chart[1] that some exercise scientists have put together that shows what power cyclists of varying levels tend to be able to produce. The data in the spreadsheet gives an average power of 708W for a minute, which equates to 10.1W/kg at 70kg, which puts him at the level of a category 1 racer or domestic pro.

Keep in mind that the ~1000W spike for 10s at the start of the ride probably harms the overall average, as a more constant power output generally leads to a higher overall average (or, higher power outputs are disproportionally harder).

Edit: according to the photo gallery in the article, Reichert is a nationally ranked speed skater in Canada, which is another one of the "big quads" sports.

Hah - http://shouldiuseacarousel.com/ was the first thing that came to mind when I loaded up the site - nice!

Some other points:

- The main image in your carousel, the zoomed in tomatoes and mozzarella, is poorly pixelated and makes the site look unprofessional

- You use the phrase "Our Balsamic" in several places - maybe it's just me but this is painful: Balsamic is an adjective* - please oh please finish that sentence for me - your balsamic what? * http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/balsamic

- Some of your giant carousel's elements are very attractive looking, but the whole thing is much wider than the rest of the site and throws the whole look off - removing the carousel entirely, working some of the most appealing images into the site in a more tasteful way (really you already do this, and you have all of those elements in triplicate from the top navbar to the carousel to the bottom quad of linked images) and making the whole page fit in a single no-scrollbars-on-common-resolutions layout would be far better and not make me want to leave the site as soon as I arrive...

The Bradley: a tactile watch for the blind
I've worked at a couple of companies where this was a winning strategy, but I've worked at more companies where attempting this sort of thing on a regular basis will cause problems that are more complex and "worse" than being fired.

At a lot of places you'll have a small group of really talented engineers who would all support the idea of doing "the right thing" even if it flies in the face of established process, and then you have everyone else, particularly people on other teams (sales, QA, project management, general management -- but sometimes also engineers that have grown accustomed to the familiar process, even if it is objectively broken), who will fight you tooth and nail on any deviation from the process simply because "that isn't how we do it here" and the end result is usually that you end up in a situation where you don't get fired outright (if you're recognized as a great developer, it usually takes quite a lot of boat rocking for you to actually get sacked), but things get politically poisonous to the point where even the engineers who support you in theory just want you to stop to ease the tension being created.

As others have mentioned, this advice is very situation and probably serves people much better in companies that are smaller or that at least have a more dynamic company culture. At many companies you'd save everyone (including yourself) a bunch of time and heartache by just quitting when the process becomes unreasonable and entrenched.
Pure pretense. They're using the NSA debacle as an excuse to pander to the trend and headline-whore.

> I would call ensuring the survival of the platform they want to market as "advancing ... Mozilla's purpose".

Mozilla's purpose is to advance the open web. Firefox OS is a means to that end, promoting a platform with that name independent of its actual nature is not an end to itself.

> To ensure the survival of that platform, they're going to need a pragmatic alternative to the HTML5/JS APIs.

The entire premise of Firefox OS, and the only reason that offering it is consistent with Mozilla's organizational purpose, is that Mozilla believes that this is false.

> Perhaps they'll be successful on low-end hardware where applications and games don't matter,

That would be, IMO, a very big success in advancing Mozilla's mission, though probably less than they hope Firefox OS can provide.

> This "all web" viewpoint you seem to be sold on is not sufficiently pragmatic.

I'm not "sold" on it; I suspect that Firefox OS may well be premature. But that doesn't stop me from recognizing that a conventional mobile OS of the type you suggest Firefox should be, with native development along with web technologies, is completely useless for the purpose for which Mozilla exists.

> The right tool for the right job. And non-native SDKs are not yet the right tool for every job.

So? Firefox OS doesn't have to be suitable for every job for it to survive, or for it to advance Mozilla's purposes.

Let's focus on your "moms of the PTA" comment.
I think the main goal is not to make cloud software the commodity, but rather to make IaaS a commodity, so that there will be multiple vendors of IaaS that are largely interchangeable.

There are today a number of public clouds that run OpenStack, of which HP Cloud and Rackspace Cloud are the two most visible. Because they're all running OpenStack, they are (hopefully) going to be interchangeable commodities. There's still some way to go, but we're much further along than we would be without OpenStack.

I believe also that having multiple implementations is not discouraged (but is not the primary goal). The APIs are distinct from the implementation and you are welcome to re-implement them (the docs make a distinction between e.g. the Identity API and the Keystone Identity implementation). I do think it would be interesting to experiment with alternative implementations. Many people, for example, replace the Swift storage component with Ceph, as both support the Openstack Object Storage API.

If you follow this strategy, then in a fairly decent environment, the first thing that will happen is that you will eventually be promoted or be given more responsibility. This sort of leadership is generally rewarded -- at least at first, within certain limits, and at the lower levels of a company.

This strategy will not work at the higher levels of a largish company, ultimately for reasons that would be politically incorrect to point out.

By closing themselves to the US "feds" community, do they open themselves up to the larger international black hat community?

I would imagine that any foreign black hat would have reservations about going to DEFCON.

In fact, the DEFCON community probably benefits from diversifying globally by being held in other countries.

I don't know anything about DEFCON, but how diversified is the audience that attends? Historically, have the overwhelming majority of non-fed attendees been US citizens? I would imagine that both Germany and Israel are well represented in the community.

If so, how do they attend without risking being put on a no-entry list at the border?
