I'm always curious about whether or not people are lumping in lower-level "coding best-practice" concepts like DRY in with this idea of "complexity." It's fine to complain about people who "over-engineer&q

For condition D, Is it possible that the people involved (Wright, etc...) would purposely concoct this situation in order to "smoke out" the real Satoshi? Maybe they believe if they cause enough of a stir, the real Satoshi would c

Yeah, totally agree. Deadline stress more often involves doing research and making decisions quicker, and then putting in the effort to write the code in a more efficient manner to get it done on time. Interview stress is more just like &qu

A big part of dealing with adversarial co-workers is team structure and managerial support, how does a 1 on 1 conversation with someone you've never met even really test your ability to work with "difficult" people? It seems

Do you think this effect has any more drastic consequences than the average celebrity endorsement of any product in any other industry?

I mean, part of the entire point of the stock market is that it operates on investor confidence; these kind of effects happen all the time from many different causes. If this kind of thing scares you, it kind of seems like the whole stock m

There is something to be said though about being able to see, touch, and feel that $3 tchotchke in the store rather than downloading an app with no idea of it's depth or quality (unless there is a brand reputation already). I think the

19 kilos is ~42 lbs. That much weight will have significant impact on the stamina and agility of any fighter in any combat sport at any weight class...

If a bug can kill millions then it's not "better than a human" though, right?

This seems like a non-issue, or at least not a new issue. People can be bad at reading paper maps, bad at reading star charts, bad at using a sextant, mistake another star for the north star, etc... Also, GPS, digital maps, route optimizati

Was curious about the motivations as well... I work at a small ecommerce company and we'd be effed without our AVS service to help with CC fraud.

Agreed that size thing doesn't really have justification anywhere, but w/r/t the second part of your comment: What about the fact that Hydrogen, Oxygen and Carbon are the basic building blocks for all types of life that we ha

Probably could try a number of different things to sneak it through, but I would guess that if you attempt to sneak through something that explicitly got you rejected previously, you might run the risk of getting your Bundle banned.

Could you do something like this? 1. Add a text input as another view outside the UIWebView 2. Translate the frame of the input off screen so it's not visible 3. Wire up the input with the webview to mirror focus with the webview text

That would technically make it a little bit harder for them to let Facebook use all their internal APIs.

Yeah it's kind of impossible when you basically have full control of the method dispatch system at runtime.

Yeah I agree, I just think there's something a bit more visceral about shooting someone with a gun (or using any other physical weapon that shoots or cuts or stabs) rather than using encryption to set up a scenario that would cause har

Yeah, there's also the fact that you can't use a digital private key as a physical murder weapon in quite the same way.

Check out the book Altered Carbon if you want a sci fi series about pretty much this exact scenario.

Could they just go all the way and use a mandatory first argument name to make things even more concise? That would get away from something that annoys a lot of people about Swift, the implicitly unnamed first arguments. Something like this

How does user acquisition finance fixed costs if there is no clear revenue stream yet? Are we assuming everyone is depending mostly on ad revenue?

There's gotta be a busker with a square reader somewhere... Also, there are a lot of places in NYC where they still take cash only, especially bodegas and dive bars.

Along those lines, is a cross-login of any kind really ever a filter for anything ? Seems like it's generally more either a huge hassle or something to make seamless login much easier for people who don't care about using their f

OkCupid and other sites also use algorithms to increase the chances, but you also get way more than 1 "match" a week, and you can also peruse tons of random profiles as often as you want (and these still usually give some kind of

Has anyone ever seen any hard evidence for the incognito/cookies price differences other than cursory anecdotal evidence? I've only ever seen "I fly a lot and everyone who flies a lot knows this is true" reasoning for th
