In this particular case, the Member homepage, there is a lot going on behind the scenes to render that page. Each row is computed with the most recent data possible, to ensure you see information that is pertinent for you. The pause is purely on the server side, not the client downloading assets. We are working on improving this.

As always, it depends on the group or team you are applying for. Some groups actually have a lot of applied computer science concepts and benefit from these type of questions. On my team, Web UI, we typically try to ask questions that pertain to the tasks they would encounter day to day.

We refresh periodically as we dynamically deploy new UI code, which can be accessed at new routes. (/home and /homeV2 for example) This allows us to not have to restart our servers or push out new server code just to serve a new UI at a different (or the same) route.

We have something that loads up, via requires, the action (or route) that should be run when a URL is encountered.

We like the option of dynamically loading new routes, that point to new endpoints. We also have the ability to release new versions of our UI without redeploying (or restarting) our servers.

I use it for 3 different pinned tabs at startup and it works great. It would be nice to have it configurable from the options menu, but I will take what I can get.

I thought apple was allowing accessories to connect to the dock at the bottom after the 3.0 software update. Wouldn't it make more sense, and be sturdier if it was at the bottom? Also, with a bigger piece of hardware you might be able to use the quick pass functionality of some cards (the ones with ultra super secure RFID).

I wonder if they are going to release their iPhone app code as well.

I thought perhaps it would work with the iPhone but that does not seem to be the case. Looks pretty neat and simple. As others have said similar to userfly.com.

What about removing all vowels except the first one? That way it is still shorter but transparent.

Along the same lines as Freecycle you might sign up for Kashless.org. They are based here in Seattle and are promoting the same free giving and receiving lifestyle.

I recently got in to the alpha and have ten invites if anyone would like to try it out.

Yes please, I didn't get in on the TC invite soon enough :(
