This came up in a meeting the other day where I asked someone to define technical debt. I instantly remembered the first company I worked for calling it 'being hit by the baby bus'. They were combining the concept of the 'bus factor' with the fact that 2 of the senior people on the project (out of 6 of us total) had babies within months of one another.

This is awesome and I love the auto-prompting in the latest version of LastPass for Android. Great work guys!

Now this is a good April Fools joke (albeit a little late)

At my first job, 6 of us (all programmers) sat around a large conference table. If I had a question about the code, I peaked over my laptop's screen, someone else noticed and asked "What's up?" It was great for that quick collaboration, but it also exposed us to every annoyance possible. There was a guy who burped a lot and liked to sing show tunes. The guy next to me bought me earbud-style headphones because the cheap ones I was using leaked out a lot of sound. We also needed an always-be-working atmosphere to prevent a conversation unrelated to work from taking more than 5 minutes.

I've had my own office for the last 3 years and enjoy the privacy, but occasionally miss the instant answers and social aspects of that open plan.

This is beautiful. I feel like it describes past, present, and future me and gives me hope and some nice guidelines.

Is it? I'd rather they split this into 2 plans and let me have just the fast shipping for $79 (or less) and people who want streaming can pay $99.

Netflix still has the better offering IMO. Not only content, but the video interface is better too. Initially Amazon's video player worked on Linux out of the box, but now it's just as hacky to get running as Netflix.

Due to this price increase, I'm going to reevaluate how important fast shipping is to me.

I'm 27 and killed my LinkedIn account because 1) I just don't find them to be a company that is concerned with user privacy and 2) I have not once seen a benefit to being on it.

I think it probably depends on your industry. I'm a programmer, so maybe if you're a finance major it's more useful.

I think the android project is starting to move toward optimizing for lower performing devices in an effort to get the OS in more hands. If that's the case, it may make a usable $38 tablet more feasible.

Maybe Apple will have one for their maps soon? Google isn't crapping on anyone. This is brand new and they're not going to be able to support everyone, especially those in an ecosystem they don't control, right off the bat.

I would love that for Android. I miss the Cyanogenmod ROMs for Gingerbread where you could toggle which requested permissions YOU allowed an app to have.

Also, I've been saying it for a long time, but icons colored according to their security risk would be better than just names with descriptions. We have to make security more convenient.

Both my parents were on virgin mobile and my mom couldn't stand it. Dropped calls, text messages that were never received, and there were a lot of dead zones. I switched my plan on t-mobile to a family plan and brought them on. They've been really happy with it so far.

Does there exist a tool that will translate mathematical symbols or an entire equation of them into plain English?
