I looked up the book and the search engine suggested the search "John Sonmez scam". I guess he's not in good standing in the industry or the Web in general.
From adamwathan's article, Tailwind's advantage is it limits you to fewer choices. So .text-grey .text-grey-dark .text-grey-darker .text-grey-darkest... rather than coming up with and remembering the hex color values, which might vary between team members.
I love it. It feels like I'm using Opera 12 again. 72 open tabs in my current window with 24 closed tabs.
What's even nicer is having tabs grouped by topics I've been looking at where I collapse most of them to save visual space in the tab tree.
Bookmark sync was the last thing I needed to switch away from Opera. It helps to have shared bookmarks when I run separate profiles for work and hobbies.
The email client was also really handy for reading rss feeds. It made the notes tool more useful for grabbing web content and then composing an email with it.
Any mistakes made by biotechnology would be short-term rather than long-term. Absent artificial selection pressures, something like golden rice would quickly revert to regular rice. What usually gets brushed aside is the fact that resources are not unlimited, and it takes extra energy for rice to produce that extra vitamin A, meaning it probably grows slower compared to unmodified rice. If we just left it unattended, not selecting the golden rice kernels for replanting, all the rice would eventually shed themselves of this useless gene that's slowing them down.
Same with the bt crops. The fear about the genes getting out in the wild is greatly exaggerated. Individuals with those extra energy-sucking genes are really at a disadvantage once the selection pressure is turned off.
I used to make new virtual numbers from Wamu for each online transaction, setting $ and time limits. Only later did I read that those "one-time" numbers could be charged more than once and the expiration dates didn't matter. That's why I skip this extra useless step these days.
