0) crank your oven up as much as possible, and let it preheat for at least 20 minutes.

1) dough is super important - a slow rise in the fridge > 1 1/2 hour rise > 1 hour rise > store-bought dough.

2) Tomatoes in a can are always better than fresh tomatoes because they have already been cooked (trust me).

3) use the best mozzarella you can find, preferably mozzarella di bufala (made from water buffalo milk)

4) for the dough, use King Arthur Flour and bottled water - it makes a noticeable difference.

Many people have an opinion about the perfect landing page based on some narrow experience. See http://www.google.com/search?q=perfect+landing+page for examples. Absorbing these guidelines provides a good starting point for any landing page optimization campaign, but only a starting point.

Claiming you have created a "perfect" landing page is simply wrong. There is no such thing as a perfect landing page. Through rigorous A/B/n & multivariate testing you can identify pages with better conversion rates and discard poor performers. It is also important to note that this optimization is not necessarily transferable to different ad messaging, user segments, products, or conversion goals.

  <% ab_test('determine_the_best_page_with_numbers_to_back_you_up', ['page1', 'page2']) do |action_name| %>

        render :action => action_name

  <% end %>

These few lines sum it up nicely:

Because we all basically know that the US state — like all states — is basically doing a lot of basically shady things basically all the time, simply revealing the specific ways they are doing these shady things will not be, in and of itself, a necessarily good thing. In some cases, it may be a bad thing, and in many cases, the provisional good it may do will be limited in scope. The question for an ethical human being — and Assange always emphasizes his ethics — has to be the question of what exposing secrets will actually accomplish, what good it will do, what better state of affairs it will bring about.

His annual income was $1980 + $168.75 = $2148.75, which was 6% of "what I earned in my prime..."

So, 100 / 6 * 2148.75 = $35,812.5 annual income

The article was written in either 1977 or 1969 (see comment by sorbus), so let's guess his highest salary was earned in either 1965 or 1975.

Using the US Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI Inflation calculator (http://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm), income during his prime in 2010 dollars was somewhere between $145,321.53 (1975) and $248,199.95 (1965)

Depending on when he wrote this article, his retirement income was somewhere between $7,740.89 (1977) and $12,781.96 (1969)

Long story short, the author took a 95% hit to his income in "retirement" (~$200k -> ~$10k in 2010 dollars)

Airbnb is hiring - I think we have around 50 openings at this point. http://www.airbnb.com/jobs. Regardless of the position, we just want hungry, smart, and awesome people.

For engineers, we wrote a blog post 2 days ago explaining some of our most interesting challenges - http://blog.airbnb.com/hard-problems-big-opportunity

In particular, we need some front end engineers!! http://www.airbnb.com/jobs/position?jvi=omNoVfwc Email me directly if you are a badass front end engineer and like mustaches & ridiculous sunglasses - chris@airbnb.com

Additionally, the article never really touched on how to recruit these people - it just lists screening questions to ask during an interview. To recruit a Frontend Hero, you need to hire great designers and create a culture that treats front end engineers as first class citizens.

Incidentally, we're doing that at Airbnb right now. http://www.airbnb.com/jobs/show/8

Specifically...

Backend Engineers http://www.airbnb.com/jobs/show/4

Frontend Engineers http://www.airbnb.com/jobs/show/8

UI designers http://www.airbnb.com/jobs/show/2

Fun Fact: My mother clipped this article out and snail mailed it to me from east coast -> SF. I received it 3 days ago. Maybe being connected doesn't put you ahead of the curve.

  var myData = new Array;

  myData['key1'] = 'value1';
  myData['key2'] = 'value2';
  myData['key3'] = 'value3';

  myData.length; //0

Tab Candy seems awesome to me for power browsing (20+ tabs), as long as there are intuitive keyboard shortcuts.

and more I can't think of right now :)

(1) Create a banner using our templates (and show examples here so I have some idea what you are talking about)

(2) Set your daily budget, ad networks, and demographics. We'll handle the details

(3) Track your progress using our custom campaign monitor

This information would ideally replace your "Free" banner and copy that is the focal point of your design.

July / August = peak season.

Peruvian food is delicious.

You can catch Peru's Independence day(s) at the end of July (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiestas_Patrias_%28Peru%29)

Seriously though, stop making excuses for why you cannot switch jobs and start doing what makes you happy.

Here are the decisions everyone is required to make before voting:

- choose which box to check

- should I visit that external link to apple?

- oh wait, am I expected to explain my vote in this huge text box?

- OK I'm ready, wait a minute, I don't even have to vote. I can just view results.

I think this page should be optimized for gathering a vote. Get rid of all the other distractions. Without votes, none of the other features matter.
