He may have been referencing the choice of Buffer to disclose the salaries of all employees: https://open.bufferapp.com/introducing-open-salaries-at-buff...

In that situation, he does not get to choose wether or not his salary is disclosed

This one specifically had 2 courses for sushi, one for 2,600 yens and the other for 3,100 yens (the difference being more sushi) This was the price for lunch, not sure in the evenings

I ate at this sushi-ya two days ago. The chef genuinely cares about his craft and will direct you on how to eat the sushi and when to drink sake. It was a great experience trying to speak to him in my broken Japanese with the help of his wife. I believe this place is quite unique, and not because of the food (which is incredible in itself). Most of the experience comes from the strong characters of the chef and his wife.

If you have the chance to visit Tokyo and happen to be in Shibuya around lunch I highly recommend this place.

Edit: I went there because a friend forwarded me the article and they were very interested in reading the article

and our children will marvel that error-prone human drove combustion engine vehicles going 30mph in the places we live.

Mostly people look at self driving cars in the light of "Would I be better driving my vehicle?"

I like to look a it from the other direction "Would I be better if everyone had a self-driven car?"

https://www.getlocalmotion.com/ has a solution with a connected box, which integrates with existing corporate RFID badges to open the car.

An email can take a long time to reach your inbox, which would make it fairly frequent to have users wait more than one minute (up to several hours) to log in.

In foreign languages with a polite form of "You" (such as French or German), there is an additional question: should a website use the polite of familiar form.

And it's widely accepted that a website should use the polite form.

With the "Alt double tap and hold" keyboard shortcut, you can even remove all the side buttons

As it was stated before, it's not a 10^-12 seconds camera, it's a very short pulse laser cleverly synchronized with a very short span camera.

This experiment would not work with a moving object for instance. It still has interesting applications though.

Little background here (I'm French and grew up in Paris):

MacDonald's branding in France are really different in France than it is in the US, especially in Paris. Food is quite tasty, meat is fairly good, and even the colors are different: the flashy red/yellow has been replaced by a classy green/black two years ago.

And this specific MacDonald's is one of the biggest and best located in Paris (Champs Elysées)

Money laundering may have been a plausible explanation for a random US MacDonald's, it's really far fetched for this one.

Recently we got to this in Paris: https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s720x720/396654_...

Quick translation: it's a 3.16 square meters (34 square feet) flat on sale in the 10th district in Paris.

Elegant solution, but it's not possible if you bundle/minify all your scripts in one giant file, as more and more do.

I'd click the button just to make the arrow go away

I listen to electrohouse everyday. I'm not that into dubstep and I tend to not like it outside of coding, but it puts you into the zone pretty quickly, kind of like if the techno rythm stopped you from thinking normally.

For those interested, many of the mixes can be downloaded for free out there. I found :

http://soundcloud.com/tsnm all the TSNM no excuses mix, the 100 download limit is quickly maxed out on those though

While I agree with you, the sysadmin would be able to provide evidence of specific actions that prevented something bad happening. TSA has made zero arrest related to terrorism so far.

Plus quoting the end of the article :

He said that the laptop rule is about appearances, giving people a sense that something is being done to protect them. “Security theater,” he called it.

That "63 years" comes out of nowhere and does not means anything.

Those 800m users combined have more than 2 millions years "per day". They spend way more time brushing their teeths.

For just a second spent, "liking" something on Facebook seems a pretty efficient use of time.

Nice to know, thanks for the tip

Did you try it and can compare it to gmail?

Especially on:

- linking other accounts (POP and IMAPS)

- spam detection

I have read here comments along the lines of "Anyone doing that would be evil, but here it's Google. So it's OK. Google would never do any harm" (it was a post about privacy)

The "Google is evil" trend may be an overreaction to those comments, but it embodies a sane criticism in my opinion. It gives a counterpart to the awkward "Google is my big brother"

I agree with that, it is quite similar to what they did with youtube and the unbearing amount of ad that one has to endure before watching a video now, after 5 years+ of making it available free of annoyance.
