What would make sewage not raw?
sugerman··on Tetrachromats: people who see colors invisible to most of us (2014)
If colorblindness is due to a lack of cones it seems the title isn't all that misleading.

Ease of use for a very non-technical user.
sugerman··on You Don't Have to Like Assange to Defend Him
The idea that Wikileaks and Assange are members of the "free media" is a joke.
sugerman··on People love remote working, but only a few fit
The implication that a person missing any one of these qualities is still a good non-remote employee is ridiculous.
sugerman··on Concepts to help developers master JavaScript
IMO, these collection of links type resources would be much more useful if the author curated the list down to something like "Read This_Article for This_Topic" and let people then just google for more information if they need it. Just googling and inserting the top 10 links into a list isn't adding much value.

The second tab of the sheet seems to be the point.

Look at the author's title. Highlights the post's motivation pretty well.
sugerman··on U.S. Citizens Now Hold About $1.3 Trillion in Student Loan Debt
"most college sports revenue does not get pushed back into general academics."

This is especially true in Alabama's case.

The Anarchist's Tool Chest by Christopher Schwartz is a great book for understanding the basics of woodworking using handtools.
sugerman··on WordPress based multi user online journal
In other words, WordPress?
sugerman··on Weird pricing of Dropbox Pro
Who is to say they didn't do a "proper calculation" and result in something close enough to €99 that they just rounded up/down to keep things consistent?
sugerman··on Pinterest Raises $200M
Do you find UI inspiration by searching or just have you started following people who pin related items?
sugerman··on Ask HN: What does your home office look like?
Some sort of RAMDisk is my guess.

sugerman··on Flickr: Invitations disclosure (resend feature)
I don't think schofield's response was great, but he certainly didn't pretend the submitter was making something up, he just didn't think the information exposed is sensitive. Realistically this isn't a bug in the software, it's an issue with the design of the invitation feature from a legal/UX standpoint. Either the user sending the information should be aware the information is not private and/or the invitations should expire at some point.

sugerman··on Websmart, Inc. and 100,000 Vulnerable Websites
I appreciate that the guy's attitude is just awful, but the author really should have given him a chance to respond/react before contacting his clients. Doing so doesn't preclude notifying them eventually. It's just common courtesy.
sugerman··on Millions of Lines of Code
The line count (wildly inaccurate or not) for "healthcare.gov" includes all of the actual insurance exchanges and related infrastructure as well, not just the actual website healthcare.gov. They should have labelled it differently.
sugerman··on What does "HREF" stand for? (2008)
Google it...
sugerman··on NSA-proof your e-mail in 2 hours
Doesn't the use of a hosting provider kill the point?

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...
sugerman··on A crossword based on the Adobe password leak
