I Google or Yahoo rewarded minor bugs. They should care about 404s or a tool tip bubble with no tip. I find minor bugs on all major websites all the time.
I have a noob bitcoin question. Even after all the bitcoins are mined there will still be a need for "mining" for all the active transactions, correct? How does that work?
I'm in the same boat. In the hospital, on the day of my birth my mother looked at me and said "college". Needless to say I did not do the proper cost/benefit analysis at the age of 17. I'm hoping my debt gets forgiven after 25 years. Being 80 years old and making student loan payments does not sound fun.
I took a flight once and I carried on my coin collection. All that metal set off a red flag so they took me to a private room to examine my collection. The TSA was generally polite, but at one point while shuffling my collection around the table a coin fell on the floor. My favorite coin. It was a commemorative coin for Operation Enduring Freedom that my cousin gave me. Other than pictures, it's the only thing I have left to remember him by. As I picked the coin up from the floor, with newly minted scratches no doubt, I couldn't help but think of the symbolism.
Yeah, the YouTube one is really bad. The pop-up really needs to be redone too. It used to be a nice easy to understand wizard and as soon as you saw it you could tell instantly you weren't interested. Now it's an awkwardly worded choice and you have to take the time to read and think about it. I might even go so far as to call it a dark usability pattern. Where's the "don't ask me again" checkbox?
Personally, I like commenting on really unseemly videos and only having an obscure username attached to it.
Isn't anybody going to talk about the irony of a developer service that found success without writing any code? I think the take away is git or ftp, ruby or php, sql or a text file, json or xml. Customers don't care, not even developers. I find that interesting.
