Now's the time to start. But yeah, you don't say "we're doing it my way." It probably sounds more like, I'm broke, I want to pay you back, what can we do to help me make it happen?

In my book, that makes it even worse. I can at least have sympathy for people who write and talk that way because they've never known anything else.

I just read the article. In it, you assume the product could be better, as you just repeated here ("could be a lot better"). Please explain how that's not begging the question.

I cannot understand your last sentence. Please help. "This kind of tempting?" "Eschewed?" Eclipsed? Eschewed in favor of?

Have you tried adding a function that converts between locales and ordering/indexing by that in Postgres?

Re:Adobe Responds to Jobs

Yeah, it's a terrible sentence. First they're "we," then they're "Adobe," then they're "we" again, and while you were distracted by all that, behind your back they snuck in "as we are [working]" when they meant "as we do."

Last time I pulled my credit report, the security questions included "Choose which of the following is true: you have an account at XXX Bank / you have a loan in the amount of $YYY at ZZZ Bank / etc."
Yes, some other information was required too, and no, I don't know what good a credit report does you either.

I think it's nice of Garmin to let them use the company's property like that.

So as little as $300,000? Unless the amount was much greater, I'm betting there've been far more expensive Javascript mistakes.

Quite a claim. Is it falsifiable?

Set it up so the participating sites can give away rewards to the people who beta test. Free accounts, discounts, whatever. You could organize all that.
Even if only a fraction of reviewed sites do it, you'll have enough people coming through that sites with nothing to give away will get attention too.

That's interesting, I was under the impression that pensions were an agreement between the company's management and the union. But it seems you're saying the company had no say in the matter? I know I've never had a pension anywhere I worked. Please explain.

When I'm hunting through my papers for receipts, I want those things to look like what they are--receipts. The only drawback to the existing MASA receipt that I can see is that it's harder to make your web page look good when you're trying to show it off on your blog later.
Re:Ask HN: Plain English ToS - Is This Legal?

Haha. I like it. Looks good to me, though I'm not a lawyer. Only thing I could think of adding would be a sentence that explicitly says something like "you assume all responsibility for your use of the site and any information you get from it."
