Choco Pie isn't like "chocolate pie" in the Western vernacular. It's a knock-off (of a knock-off) moon pie. [1]

> In the wake of World War II and the Korean War, the snack gained popularity in East Asia through its introduction by American GIs. Starting in 1958, a similar type of marshmallow filled cake was developed by Morinaga in Japan as 'Angel Pie'.

> Tongyang Confectionery began selling a similar product known as 'Orion Choco Pie' in 1974.

Also, 680/880 is severely underserved by public transit. Every day it's bumper-to-bumper traffic from Walnut Creek->San Jose.

BART will eventually connect this, but you would still need to transfer in Oakland, which is roughly 20-30 minute detour. Walnut Creek -> Fremont currently takes over 1 hour on BART, to cover a distance of roughly 30 miles.

FWIW, my parents didn't give me a generation name, and my kids don't have one. I have cousins and uncles (I think this is for males only? I could be wrong) who do have generation names. From what I understand, this practice is slowly dying out in favor of better sounding or more native-Korean names (without Chinese characters) in recent generations.

> People in Korea, who typically do have 3 names but who don't usually initialize them...

No, not really. This is a completely wrong interpretation of Korean names. Most of us have two names: family/clan name ("last" name like "Park", "Kim", etc) followed by given name ("first" name like "Chan-Ho" or "Geun-Hye"). The given name typically consists of two parts, but that doesn't mean we have three names.

Thanks! There is a corollary to this that would have prevented all this - when I went back in the Chrome settings and set the settings to the same order, it reset my header to this: "en-US,en;q=0.8,ko;q=0.6" - which makes things work for all sites again. I haven't touched my language settings since ~2012, so it's possible Chrome "fixed" this a while back, but didn't change my existing settings.

This is my guess as well - our app updated and Facebook connect works just fine.

It was a bug in Lotus 1-2-3 that was intentionally implemented into Excel, so technically it was a backwards-compatibility "feature". And some items from the original list aren't exactly "truths" as much as implementations or configurations, e.g.

> 19. The system clock will never be set to a time that is in the distant past or the far future.

> 20. Time has no beginning and no end.

N+9.1: Non leap years will never contain a leap day.

When I put "saygent" in the second field:

> $100k fine for linking to saygent.com

> $200k royalty fee for using the term 'Saygent' in anchor text

Yet it shows $350,000 total fine.

So if I'm reading this right, Apple is sending UDIDs over HTTP?

That "i" at the top of the page is really bothering me...

a) Yup, I have same experience here on iPad 1. b) I disagree with this, but my kid is 3 years old. I thought the music selection was playful and best of all, not annoying when played ad infinitum. c) I bought the paid version thinking that it would come with all the extras. I don't like in-app purchases in paid apps, and I think this should have been an option in the free version only.

With that in mind, I would also suggest that you provide a way to earn monster bucks for free, through offerwalls. Disclaimer and shameless self-promotion: I work for Tapjoy, that does this: https://www.tapjoy.com

I would appreciate it if you mention me (hc5) for referral, but no pressure ;)

Did HP really have to name their product "TouchPad"? I was wondering why a laptop mouse needs 4G and 64GB disk before I clicked through the link.

Amazon RDS and SimpleDB. I voted for MySql and Other.

I commute from Pleasanton to SF every day, and it's basically the exact same commute described in the article. 40-50 minutes each way, last stop so I get to work on the train, farmers markets near my SF stop, etc.

That logo looks a little too much like the new MySpace logo

iOS 3 update wasn't free - $5 or $10 IIRC.

It's worth noting that Android browsers don't support SVG (yet).

What were the recent Heroku issues? I must have missed this.

I don't know if Groupon made a mistake, only time will tell, but this statement irked me a bit:

VC: “Founders make different decisions when money doesnt matter. He doesnt HAVE to sell, so he can wait. He can do what he thinks is right for the business. He can focus on his legacy.”

This can easily be the other way around: the founder chooses to focus on his legacy instead of what is right for the business.

Training and getting someone up to speed for a few weeks, then getting rid of them (if it doesn't work out) wastes more time and money than spending several months to fill the position with the right person. Laying people off for performance is hard to quantify, not to mention I certainly wouldn't want to be working for a company who is secretly monitoring new hires' performance.
