There's so e serious irony there if those are the numbers, given that that's what the merchants are supposed to be doing.

FWIW, clicking on that link with Safari showed an unexpected popup: "WebProcess wants to sign using key "Apple ID Authentication [timestamp] in your keychain". Using some sort of client cert for SSL? I didn't find an obvious reason for the interaction.

Ranking multiple measures in a stack of stars/circles without labeled 'better / worse' margins seems like a pretty terrible data visualization.

I did that too. Weird.

I'm glad to see Jawbone going for broke on the 'health and wellness via data' front. I've been a fan of their design language and technical chops since back when their headsets had wires.

So will FB (eventually) make a timeline post on my behalf when I buy coffee?

Both in terms of perks and barrier to entry, alas.

My wife has been 1k for the last several years. Before we met I had no concept of mileage programs but traveling with her has really opened my eyes.

The funny part is at some point it feels a bit like playing a Zynga game, including the occasional "screw it, I'm so close I'll pay a little cash to bump up to the next level"

The folks who strolled in earlier might have more status (miles/revenue) on this airline, and having that means a great deal to the airline's systems and humans. They know what you're worth to the company and whether it's worth bumping someone else lower on the totem. It doesn't feel good but it's generally pretty rational.

Nitpicking, but on my Safari 6 this page doesn't render properly because I have 'Default' encoding selected. The page is authored as UTF-8 but doesn't declare that in the content-type header, doctype, or a meta tag.

I'm surprised by the large skew towards CDMA vs GSM for iPhone 5 devices. Verizon winning converts from AT&T?

I feel compelled to point out a clever comment (not my own) on the linked page:

"127 kOhm * 470 uF silence for the fellow."

i.e. using those values for the external resistor and capacitor would result in a moment of silence (followed by another and another, I suppose)

That's the joke.

I paid for Divvy.app but may switch to this - love the configurability.
