from Email Landing Page: "Increase your chances of winning the Pack Share something about us: [twitter button]"

from Front Page: "we will randomly select 250 lucky startups that will get the Pack."

If this is not a biased random sweepstakes, I would remove that wording. I know nothing about US sweepstakes laws, but I think biased random is (at best) a gray area.


This is a good point. I get the marketing behind it, but those two headlines don't really line up and that's when you can run into trouble.


You are going to make me give away my future punchline. ;-) The short story is that innerText will include the line breaks that are introduced by text layout. A lot of people call innerText when what they actually want is textContent (which doesn't layout because is just a concatenation of the descendent text nodes)


I've been battling with her in PageRank for years. I claim she isn't playing fair!


FYI, it took me a little digging around to figure out where your atom feed is. :-)

Thanks. I've meaning to put the links back for a while and never have done it.


I think the problem is that she appears on multiple sites. Even if you get the first link (as you do when I Google you, but Google has me pretty heavily bubbled into technology), she gets a good part of the page. This is because search engines don't like to return a bunch of very similar responses. So while hits for you are limited to the several sites you are on (your site, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook), there are apparently tons of porn sites that she is on.

I'll throw in that Google did a pretty good job of giving you links. On "my Google", you got 4 of the first 5 links, but non after that on the first page. On DuckDuckGo, which doesn't bubble me in, (but has a technology bias) you only got 1 of the first 5 links.


I can relate to this during my time at MIT. It isn't that students are unaware that MIT is an immensely talented community and just fail to put their own relative difficulties into perspective. There is a strong desire to feel like you belong among your peers. Yet there is always someone doing something that seems out of your reach, which amplifies those lingering internal questions of whether your actually good enough to be there.

It was around 30 engineers.


Looks like that's going to happen soon. Speed Tracer is likely to become a part of Chrome's inspector, for instance.


If you want to know how much CSS selector matching (sometimes called Style Recalculation) is affecting your site you can try Speed Tracer:

It's Chrome-only but you can sometimes get cross-browser insights. It's also a lot easier to conduct a cursory investigation using this tool than it is to start changing your selectors.
