That's something that Digg did well. You could click "top today/24 hours/week/x days" and you would see the submissions with most diggs in 24 hours/week/days/etc.

There is a "read mode" on Firefox for desktop and Android that does this? You can set the font face and size and then every time you open an article, just click the "read mode" button and it will display the article all nice and clean. Safari does this too on desktop and iPhone.

emir_··on Can't fire a brilliant employee, but he is late every day
I don't know. I've worked for grocery stores when I was in high school and one cashier running 15 minutes late was always noticeable, especially early in the mornings and late at night.
emir_··on An Identity Thief Explains the Art of Emptying Your Bank Account
Anyone have any idea whether this could have been prevented if banks in the US required PIN to process a transaction? Would fraudulent transactions go down significantly if stolen cards couldn't be used without PINs?

American Express doesn't have branches, but I'm sure there are plenty of ways one can verify his or her identity without going inside a branch.

Um selling to people who don't work regular hours? There are plenty of people who work hours that are not Monday-Friday 9am-6pm, you know that, right?

Wasn't that the case with Nexus phones as well? If I remember correctly, Nexus One was partially built to show other manufacturers that a top of the line device can be built and ran on Android.

emir_··on Millions of Americans Get Wages Garnished Over Credit Card Debt
If one is unemployed, can't find a job for x amount of time, do you think it is acceptable to use credit cards to survive during that period of time?

Good point. The guy in the article didn't just go on one vacation after another and then stopped paying when his balance reached $7,000. The article clearly said he lost his job, spent time living at a friend's place, and because he didn't have another job he had to somehow survive, which meant using credit cards.
