Yeah, which would be a fair price but as an employee looking for companies to work at you wouldn't qualify.

If I were looking for a new startup job, I would check out Mattermark first to develop a list of startups I thought looked like they were doing financially well / had strong employee growth etc and could succeed before then looking into which I was interested in the work at. I think Mattermark could have some other uses for their data that could prove valuable (I'd pay for that).

Right now if I were in that situation, it looks like I could get a 30 day trial for free but I wouldn't continue it at $499 a month. I wonder what other monetization opportunities there are for the data Mattermark has.

Well isn't a warrant canary that is public knowledge just considered a method of breaking NSL silence? To be safe, a warrant canary would need to be plausibly deniable.

What if your friend has actually done something wrong though, for example, scammed multiple clients out of money? Giving them the ability to remove that information means future clients can't get a fair warning. I'm not knowledgeable about the concept as a whole to have a strong opinion yet but it seems like there's plenty of times I think something should remain public even if a person doesn't want it. If someone posts something false, we have legal systems to handle that complaint. It's not perfect but this seems more dangerous.

I just visited my sister in Australia and much worse than the speed was the bandwidth caps. Instead of unlimited, she bought credit for a specific amount of data. Is that how it works all over?

> But then my husband headed to our local corner store to buy enough gift cards to afford a stroller listed on Amazon. There, a warning sign behind the cashier informed him that the store “reserves the right to limit the daily amount of prepaid card purchases and has an obligation to report excessive transactions to the authorities.”

All the article says is that there was a sign on the wall. I didn't get the impression it stopped them.

In the console you can type: inspect(localStorage)

Do you have the link for that? I'm curious and couldn't find it with a quick search.

The page linked includes techniques for both variable height content (e.g. translate -50%) and fixed content.

I'm not aware of any myself but I wanted to say thanks for submitting this. I picked up a few myself on technologies I wanted to learn.

I think the lack of choice he is referring to is trying to remain impartial. Sure, they could pick specific companies and give them better rankings or look the other way but that sets a really dangerous precedent for filtering information. In this case, it's just lyrics and Rap Genius appears to have better content than some of the other high ranking sites but you can't make an exception and start allowing some sites to break set rules.

I find centering more complex because there's not just one type of centering. I think centering can differ based on fixed and fluid width, display type of element (inline, inline-block, block), and probably other factors. I can't think of a clear definition for how a single simple centering would work given all the possible variables at this point.

That's fair. Perhaps I'm too comfortable with the concepts I've been forced to learn thus far.

I see what you're saying and I agree it would be great to be simpler. My perspective is that the complexity is actually in the flexibility in CSS and the number of options provided to you. I'm not sure how I'd make it simpler without removing some of the control.

I find centering in CSS pretty easy currently, what about it is troubling you? This resource (http://timseverien.nl/2013/10/css-alignment-and-sizing/) showcases a number of techniques.

I up-voted the story not because I like the message or because I'm for it but because I want it to be seen. I'm against any kind of "attack" advertising and I'd like to see it discussed, not ignored.

Someone made a tool just like that and posted it on HN a while ago. I can't remember the name of it unfortunately but maybe another commenter can. I think it had CSS in the title and it was essentially a tool to customize a live site with CSS and then share your result.

With the increased growth of mobile devices and massive numbers of screen sizes in existence, how do you plan to handle those issues? What I've seen of Macaw looks like it gives you the ability to write clean, maintainable code that works in many devices and handles media-queries etc. From your examples I looked at, they might as well be absolutely positioned because you're not gaining anything by floating every element and giving it a fixed width and height.

It looks like he used this image (http://www.flickr.com/photos/xp0s3/7851153390/in/photostream...), potentially just searching on Flickr for something eye catching and due to the "We're watching you" concept?

It depends on the employer but I find it quite common. Non-technical hiring managers might see a full-stack developer as a both a backend and frontend developer and it seems very attractive. Top tier employers usually want the best of the best and can afford to have multiple members on a team and thus allow that specialization.

If you specialize in a certain skillset, focusing on that skillset gives you time to be even better. Sure, there's developers that can write both back-end and front-end code but they've given up a level of specialization in order to do that. It's not a reluctance to learn but a different focus of what to learn. It has nothing to do with passion.

Most full-stack developers I've met are really backend developers that can also write some front-end code. They don't spend the time to learn all the intricacies of CSS/HTML or stay up to date with changes in spec / new tools and methodologies. I don't know you at all so I can only guess but if you think about it, do you find yourself better at either the frontend or the backend? It's very rare for someone to be a top 10% backend developer and a top 10% frontend developer. I could call myself a full-stack developer because I'm capable of writing both portions of an application but I know that I don't write one end as efficiently or securely as a specialist.

No, it's not. It's not fool-proof but it makes it slightly more difficult for other developers to determine what's going on and it certainly makes code re-use harder. The effort that goes into examining obfuscated code is a deterrent.

Similarly, I often have errands to run and 4-5 locations and it's not immediately obvious which route and order I should go to each of them.

I don't see the problem. You're just asking to pay more? If they're done in two hours, they'll either charge you less or leave, so you pay $55. In your example, that two hour cleaning is now $70. Additionally, I think you're underestimating the amount of time a good cleaning can take, even of a smaller apartment / studio.

Pretty awesome. I eventually shelved a somewhat similar idea, of a more modular, minimal desk for hackers that could be customized [1] (the original concept included an open ecosystem for the modular components). I found that all the work going into manufacturing and distribution were just a huge time sink and I didn't have the drive for this particular project. Maybe a service like this would allow me to resurrect my concept in the future.

I get it but I feel that's more of an imposed limitation by email clients and not a fair choice.

Yeah certainly, thanks for the examples. I think the first item you mentioned, vertical centering of a single dynamic object actually can be handled better than tables currently (see some techniques here: http://html5hub.com/centering-all-the-directions/) but when you add more elements into the mix I can see how rowspan / colspan equivalents are not easily implemented without JS.

Like what? I buy the use case of using a table for data, but are you implying there's other scenarios where using table elements are the best choice?

Off topic, but is there a name for that type of pattern in the header? It looks familiar.

I think all businesses and startups might differ enough that it's hard to generalize, but here's my experience:

Startup:

~ Most people work longer hours by choice

~ Things change fast, both corporate structure and business direction

~ You wear many hats if you want. This was a good thing for me. I could weigh in on product decisions along with doing development and it was more exciting.

~ Everything seems a lot more relaxed. You might not have HR for a while. More taking risks.

~ Usually a bit lower salary, although I think that depends more on how you negotiate.

Corporate:

~ There's usually a process for everything. This can be nice when it works for you but is also harder to change.

~ It's harder to make an impact on the business as an individual.

~ Pay is probably a little bit higher.

~ Great perks.

~ Team organization doesn't change as much. Less opportunities for advancement.
