> Mr. Tate said he thought frequently about the story [outing Tim Cook] afterward, and even wondered whether Mr. Cook’s parents had known about his identity before the report. “It’s something that gave me pause and that I thought about, but I would do it the same way again,” he said.

This right here tells you everything you need to know about Gawker and people that worked there.

Good idea.

Maybe put a Youtube video of the comedian's performance on the detail page, so we get a little preview?

I thought I was the only one! The Magicians is by far the worst and least enjoyable book I’ve ever read, and I read ~ 100 books per year.

This. Cliff Stoll is better known for his other book, where he got a bunch of predictions about the internet wrong, but Cuckoo’s Nest is a lot better read. Based on a true story, how a few cent $ difference led him to discover a massive hack going on, and how he was chasing the hacker.

This exact issue caused me to use Amazon a lot less.

these days, I check Consumer Reports for a review and usually buy their recommendations. Most of the time, still on Amazon - their delivery is still top notch.

But - not all the time, as there are now viable alternatives that do 2-day delivery well enough. For example, I started ordering some stuff on Walmart.com. A lot of things that are “prime pantry only” on Amazon are available for the same price on Walmart.com, without any restrictions.

For most events (at least in the US), you can only get tickets via TicketMaster. Venues sign an agreement with TM that forbids them selling tickets elsewhere. TM controls venue's entire ticket sale workflow, including inventory, printing and sending tickets, etc.

Going with another vendor is a gigantic undertaking, you would need to overhaul most of your processes. Most venues don't have the resources/bandwidth to pull that off.

And that's how TM stays a monopoly.

See my comment above - it would require a significant effort to get off the ground, as the app without data would not be useful to first users, and without the data provided by those first users, it wouldn't be useful to others.

Thank you! I definitely considered doing something like that, however — the amount of work required to crowd source the data would be significant. There would be a “chicken & egg” problem — the app wouldn’t be useful to first users, and without the first users, there wouldn’t be enough data to make it useful for everyone else — so this would require a fairly large marketing campaign to get off the ground. But — one day I may still do it :)

The API didn't change, they just made it private "for MTA use only"

I work for a company called Mark43.

We make software to help police officers do their jobs more efficiently - our applications literally help save lives. There's a lot of interesting design challenges - for example, emergency dispatchers look at our CAD (computer aided dispatch) software for many hours on large monitors.. how do you design it so their eyes don't get tired?

And then cops look at the same software on their laptops, as they're driving to respond to an emergency.. how do you make a notification "suspect is armed" stand out so they notice it among all other data?

We are looking for designers to help us solve these and other problems:

You hit this just as we were deploying the new version of the site :) it works now

I realize that these features are what you want, and sorry that they're not making you happy. But I would bet that a very small minority of users cares about things native clients / bundled browser and Hi-Fi option.

On the other hand, they added things like making discovering new music much easier, like "Daily Mixes" and "Discover Weekly", which - again, I don't have any hard data to back this up - made a ton of users very happy.

What exactly do you do in real estate, if you don't mind me asking? Do you buy/renovate/sell, build from scratch, do you do residential/commercial, etc? And how did you get into it?

I think you can interpret "like you" in a few different ways. Someone can be "like you" if they share common values, even if they have completely different background, interests, personalities, etc.

I don't want to speak for him, but I believe Sam's point is that those are the people that you forge the strongest bond with.

Upvoted for humor and the username.

I had a similar experience when I first started as a junior engineer at a financial company. By accident, I dropped a database in production... immediately, people found out and the head of production support came to me and said "This is strike 1".

Terrified, I ran to a senior engineer, who calmly and efficiently proceeded to restore everything in a few minutes. The only thing he said to me was "happens to everyone, don't worry about it, just be more careful next time."

I was extremely thankful and a LOT more careful next time, and each time after that.

It depends on what you need it for. For me, 5K screen and a very fast graphics card are important. Top of the line iMac is the only Mac that works with Oculus Rift.

But if you're only looking to do web development, for example, Mini should be fine.

I've used a Hackintosh as a main development machine for a few years. I spent ~ $800 on parts, and an equivalent (top of the line) Mac would've cost about $4K, so the money savings were great.

However, it was a gigantic pain in the ass to maintain and I wouldn't recommend it. Updating the OS is a nightmare, resulting in me staying with 10.7 while everyone was on 10.9. Things that you would expect to work out of the box with a normal Mac do anything but - there's effort required to make anything perform as expected. And there are some things that just never work as intended - like the sleep mode that I was never able to figure out.

Troubleshooting issues is a nightmare - there's no support, and you have to spend tons of time browsing through threads looking for someone with a similar problem. Then if you get to a situation when you have to ask a question, you sit and pray for someone to answer, because if they don't you're stuck.

Eventually, I bought an iMac, and couldn't be happier.

In general, if you're the kind of a person that enjoys tinkering and troubleshooting, and have plenty of free time, then go for it. But if you want to spend your time on other things, and want your computer to just work, I would definitely not recommend it.

Thank you for this. For years, I've been going into Settings -> Sound to change output and input settings - this is so much easier!

It sounds like he's acting like a product owner as well - being one of the only people that actually knows how the game works.

While he didn't code himself, he was very involved. From the TFA:

It could be just me, but the furniture in all pictures very uncomfortable. I can't imagine sitting down and being comfortable on the couches in the very first picture (top of the home page, under "Live your dream" heading).
