Coinbase is often recommended as a BitPay alternative. Unlike BitPay it's not a specialized processor but an online wallet, but much like PayPal you can use it to collect payments as well.

Speaking of which, it would be nice if chrome or firefox had a developer keyboard shortcut to delete the node the mouse is currently hovering on without having to inspect or open the dev tools. That'd make dealing with intrusive conten

Perfect, now we just need an equally redundant pseudo syntax template system that produces html on top of this.

As far as I can tell, it uses 2d transforms, which are usually considered part of HTML5. The animation would probably be a bit jerkier and slower if done with absolute positioning instead.

Offtopic but am I the only one seeing this? http://i.imgur.com/3pnOXot.png I thought google moved away from that black bar.

That's something I wonder as well. Ultimate-guitar must be in bed with labels somehow, or otherwise operate their business in a very shady way. If it's the latter, they are very lucky to get away with it AND get top-notch treatmen

As a beginner guitarist, this is site is the worst. It's a shame that honest sites like olga.net don't exist anymore.

Well technically speaking that dichotomy is false, people who are passionate or "believe" in a startup aren't necessarily dummies, and conversely, skilled professionals in specific fields aren't necessarily careless ab

Properly estimating is probably one of the hardest things to do in our field, specially so if you are starting a product or company where you have to go with your gut for a lot of the decisions. I think the key to survive this is not so muc

The thing I don't like about analytics as a service is that, most of the time, it's highly opinionated about how to track and visualize data. We tried a number of analytic services in the past, but no matter how flexible they were

I wonder what is Twitter stance on this, as a company. Do they allow it because it's technically speaking not illegal, or do they ban it if they find it because it's questionable at best?

Probably something more along the lines of "big change that will piss some people off", but it's really just a buzzword, you can have it mean whatever you want.

The question that I always wonder is, is it really that devastating if people who don't want ads and wouldn't click on them hide them? I can't help but think that the kind of person that uses adblock-like software is also

Except this wouldn't work well when you are an advertiser looking to advertise on hundreds of medium size sites simultaneously. That's one of the reasons middlemen like ad networks exist in the first place, so that you don't

I actually thought they do this because they really want to say "best phone ever" or "best OS yet", but resort to the product name so as not to sound too cocky. By saying "best windows ever" you give the impres

It sounds like they are keeping it around, but it will no longer be a layer across all Google products, just a standalone app for those who want it (as it should be).

That's not how PR speak works :) And to be fair, Google+ does have a few million users doing their thing there, it won't be displacing Facebook anytime soon but it's not entirely dead weight for them, so whether it worked out

On that note, how come no government has entertained the idea of opening up tax money budget allocation, e.g. by letting citizens vote on where they want their money used? I understand that the average citizen has little or no idea of how t
