when they result in depression and exhaustion >_<


Going by their pricing page and the 17000 viewer hours he mentioned before cutting out, I'd guess a couple of thousand dollars, ouch! http://www.livestream.com/platform/premium_features_and_pric...

edit: it's more like $8000-15,000 (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2907135)


isn't this an old article that pre-dates Zeldam's involvement with the HTML 5 spec (http://www.zeldman.com/superfriends/ "We, the undersigned, wish to declare our support for the direction in which the HTML5 specification is heading").


That's correct. Now Zeldman is lovin' HTML5:

i'm not convinced... i kind of like the anonymity a telephone number affords.


Moreover, people who want to change how phone addressing works rarely consider the fact that the people who can email me are not the same people who I want to call me on voice. Or the fact that sometimes I change my number with the intent of denying that ability to people who knew the old number. Or the fact that the region-locality of numbers often yields useful information about the person on the other end.


These are social problems with simple technical solutions. Making it default to going to voicemail, with only a whitelist of callers ringing through, is one possible solution. Having it respond with a message that suggests using email instead is probably the one I would use, since I hate phone calls from just about everybody, except family.


> These are social problems with simple technical solutions.

that don't work.

I'd much rather change phone numbers than screw around with a whitelist and the other solution is worse than whitelists because it connects my phone number to my e-mail, which I don't give out. (Thanks to various directory services, phone numbers provide location information. Why would I want my e-mail to get geo-targetted spam?)


Agreed. I don't want anyone to be able to guess my cell number & spam call me, why would anyone want that?


Then use something like an URL shortener to get as many anonymous phone addresses as you like.


looks like they're recommending the 'Mac Box Set' http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MACBOX-101801


i did a 50 A4 sheet picture with this of grandmaster flash. i used a tiny source picture (less than vga). I took the time to trim the edges and tape all the sheets together first. this made sticking it to the wall a simpler task.

if i could have done anything differently i'd have used a printer that could do borderless printing. it looked awesome, would def recommend.


i've got to heavily agree with you on this. i feel more in control of what's going on in my code... and yeah, often confused by peoples massive opposition to it.

generally speaking if someone's angry about something, they probably don't understand it. otherwise... why not ignore it til it goes away?
