Looks like a portfolio (http://mrmrs.io) turned into a gif-music-video.

This sounds like a very San Francisco story to me!

Or find a more established project that you like, and become a contributor.

My uncle immigrated to South Carolina from India in the 1960's, and worked as an engineer at an otherwise white company.

The Christmas party was at a segregated establishment, and they had no idea what to do with him. I think that ultimately they decided that it was ok for "others" to attend, even though by skin color, he was definitely closer to the black end of the spectrum.

Must have been a fun party.

I think one of the main issues for me is the lack of saturation... the color palette is a little pastel.

Websites: breaking my back button for 15 years.

What service are you using to get that information?

Why should you force business to operate in a certain way? Because, weirdly enough, the profit motive isn't always sufficient to make sure that business operate for the benefit of consumers, or more broadly, society.

Antitrust laws, environmental laws etc. all force businesses to "operate in a certain way". You can argue for more or less regulation, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone to argue for no regulation.

Also, the issue is many people don't have a choice between ISPs, or if they do, it's between two major ISPs. If a Time Warner / Comcast juggernaut implements a fast lane, do you think that Verizon or whoever else won't?

Can some one explain to me why having, say, an HTML 5 based video player with DRM would be worse than one implemented in a closed platform like Silverlight or Flash? I'm genuinely curious, and not trying to make an argument here.

Oof. I know you didn't put up your resume for critique, but it is far too wordy... A resume should be something that a person can glance at to get a general idea of your career.

The interview (and to a lesser extent, cover letter) are where the specifics come out.

I work from home – my commute starts and ends in the same place, so it is walking for the sake of walking.

I also grew up doing it, so that might have something to do with it.

I'm definitely susceptible to that too. I wish I could say I manage to do this every day but somedays I wake up and go straight to the computer, start reading emails, and get sucked into work from there. Or start reading Hacker News.

Moved to Southern California 4 months ago, but grew up and lived in New England before that.

I'm an all seasons kind of guy. Sometimes you just gotta put more clothes on. And gloves and a hat. Also boots. Winter walks can be the best walks.

As some one who currently works from home, a "purposeless" walk is how I start and end my work day – I think of it as my "commute". Walking clears my head, gets me outside for a bit, and helps me separate my home life from my work life.

For me, those walks might not be a necessity, but they are definitely not without purpose.

You think using LinkedIn is bad, try developing for it. The developer community is left to fend for itself – the API randomly changes, questions go unanswered, bug fixes are promised and then never delivered.

Are all prototypes worth $3500? I'm confused as to why there is a fixed price.

Does everything need to be made into a monthly service? In the past day, I've seen razors, coffee, socks...

I'm a recent zsh + oh-my-zsh convert, and I have a severe case of "why didn't I do this before"s.

Here is a great gallery of oh-my-zsh themes: http://zshthem.es/all/

Yes, but for simple, personal rules that won't have any major repercussions if they fail (e.g. email me when I get 10 likes on my last Instagram photo), I can see how they'd be useful.

...not that my hypothetical rule is useful, but you understand what I'm getting at.

I'm still not sure where I fall on this issue, but one thing people sometimes leave out of the discussion is the fact that a CEO is the public face of the company. Part of your job is to "embody" or communicate the brand, mission, what have you, of the company you represent, and I don't think Eich had the ability to do that. His interview with the Guardian was bizarre, and not what I'd expect from a CEO dealing with controversy.

It's not April fools anymore... right?

Some old technologies just do not deserve to be romanticized. LPs, maybe. Brick phones, no.

So should you be blaming the software, or your social circle?

Exactly. And, you can still fallback to text, email, or a phone call...

I additionally went through a twitter warning before I got to the bit.ly warning

Being a bigot is a lifestyle choice, and I don't support it

(this is just a joke)

Yes, but their PR or brand message or whatever you want to call it has always been fairly extreme. I mean, just look at their 1984 super bowl ad... or really, any ad they've put out in the last decade or so (http://www.apple.com/designed-by-apple/)

The worse problem is IE8, which is the highest supported version on XP, and is a way bigger piece of crap than IE9... especially with XP's still high market share.

Nine Inch Nails? Seriously? I'm pretty sure they had already found success through the traditional channels before they had the ability to do something like that.

Crowd funding works in certain contexts, but it's no magic bullet.

This is one of those games that I do best on my first try when I have no idea what I'm doing, and then do worse and worse the more I think I have a strategy.

Fun though!

Painfully unfunny.
