Imagine the overhead (taxes and all) for managing all of their drivers as employees not contractors.

I think I understand Uber's stance here. From a business perspective their drivers are all independent contractors. This is an important part of the discussion because if they start telling them what the can and cannot do during their

They intend for it to land on land in the future, not out at sea. For that they cannot use parachutes.

That's a sensible practice. Thanks for the info!

That explains it; I was completely baffled. I wonder how much of a bidding war there was for this domain.

by MrSourz 12y ago
What I find hard to believe and just realized was that this domain was registered on 10-Jun-2014. Edit: People were first able to register .uk domains last year, and if the .co.uk domain already exists then you must own it in order to regis

A simple DNS configuration would be: An A record * .domain.com -> IP address and in Nginx on the server with that IP address server { listen 80; server_name domain.com *.domain.com;

You're missing something here. The UK is a country that allows second-level domains e.g., co.uk, gov.uk, org.uk as well as just domains ending in .uk. This organizations owns c.uk (so the who-is you should lookup is just c.uk. What I f

I think this is a good demo to share with family and am glad this organization has c.uk. Another more general example to share with family is: http://www2.scotiaonline.scotiabank.com.online.authenticatio... These are both cases

The reason to inconvenience rather than force is users in a rush will pick the worst passwords, even as paid employees where their password is the thing between the outside world and highly confidential stuff.

That's maybe the next step to prompt the user to change! Or even better make it forwardssdrawrof though that feels a bit evil. (forwards then reverse)

I do wonder if that's the case.

I agree, truly some of the thrill was conveyed through this post. The organizers of the challenge seem delightfully evil and I imagine it is a blast to organize. The Google Translate deciphering from latin was probably the most amusing part

This was the first thing I thought about when I saw this was released. It will be interesting to see if that goes anywhere.

I'm torn on how I feel about security being a paid feature in this case. Here the onus is being placed on the user, yet many won't be conscious of the choice they're making. The tiff mentioned in the article was interesting

It gets even better when you realize that Verizon's site ( http://my.verizon.com/services/ ) is built off of Ookla's platform.

It comes down to the user experience. I see it as analogous in some ways to Apple and iOS who want control over the hardware to ensure a high quality consumer experience. If the user experience is not something to lust after then I don&#x27

If you're using a newer MacBook Pro I've seen some people swap out the disk drive bay for a 2nd SSD. This doesn't sound like much but that allows them to run a RAID 1 setup on their laptop (1 drive with a mirrored second driv

It's been awesome for me while I've been skiing. I feel it go off on my wrist even if I'm blasting down a hill and can't hear the ringer, nor feel the vibration within my thick jacket.

I agree with you. One must realize that you didn't just order a Pebble, but a Black Pebble, or a White Pebble, each with their own manufacturing constraints and variations in popularity. In this case someone is getting a Black Pebble b

especially when you consider that Alpha Centuri is 4.367 light years away, and that is the closest thing, 5 times that is pretty damn nearby. If your friend lived 5 houses down the street I think that'd qualify as nearby.

The one thing I didn't like about the demo is they showed it compared to refilling a car, but refilling a car adds more miles to your range than swapping out one of those batteries.

There is a company trying to do this, without requiring the technical knowledge. http://www.scigit.com/
