Question: From my understanding bcrypt is designed for security even when the hashed data is leaked. Each piece of data is uniquely salted and hashed to perhaps varying degrees of difficulty. So for a thought experiment, let's say a si

Just glancing at the design I can see that the whitespace is all messed up. The previous design was more compact, one could easily view most or all of the necessary information in a smaller space. But that is just glancing at it. The newer

Solid list. Operating several sites today, modern search engines do not require keywords or description tags for content to be effective. So if you operate a blog, or custom site don't put much effort or time into it. If you are lookin

This may not be a good idea. Code is one of those things that by itself sucks until you have a reason or purpose to use it. I started learning coding around age ~9 in 1996 or so. But what got me hooked was websites, because I could use the

That domain name is terribly ambiguous. One of those brand names that doesn't translate well to a domain. Keep reading the domain as gears. Hah. PSA to anyone building a brand or picking a name.

Discovered a quote from Sid Meier's the other day; he says "A game is a series of interesting choices." From that perspective, the definition of a game and what constitutes gaming changes dramatically. It undercuts the questi

When I first saw this ad I really enjoyed the concept of it (work in video production.) Not something you see often. Maybe that will change. To me, it's interesting because [1] the consumer has to be familiar enough with the product so

Was just saying the other day how it sucks seeing the web change. It's like when musicians complain about the music industry being over produced and too commercialized. I remember back in the 90's how excited I was just by making

> Really? Worse then actual suffering and societal costs is the treatment of obesity as a disease and not a character flaw? Not only should people suffer, but they should be shamed for it. What an overly sensitive response. How ridiculou

The 641M number provides context for the media narratives regarding fat acceptance and body shaming. Perhaps worse than the epidemic of people being overweight, is growing sympathy to accept and not to do anything about it. If you have been

I don't want driverless cars because half the time I don't even know where I am going. I routinely drive aimlessly around to discover new locations, listen to music and explore. Could driverless cars be programmed for a "scen

Sets a bad precedent. Next they'll be analyzing receipts and purchases an hour or two before to determine if you were at a bar, working too late (tired), or whatever. Submit your health data as well, maybe your decision making was impa

> In statistical terms, these dismissals are little more than a call for overfitting - if I can arbitrarily add more dimensions to a theory, I can make it fit any data set. Sure. However, this leads me to believe it is statistics that ar

Cashless societies are advanced as a solution to problems of moral decay. E.g., doing business under the table, not reporting taxes due to governments, or performing an illicit transaction. In many ways, advocacy of a cashless society is ad

Friends who are replying, my intent is not to stir up debate between Christians or about religion. The Books mentioned are relevant to this topic. They are good reading for anyone interested. Based on the down votes it seems HN would rather

A good conversation of "why we should fear a cashless world" should at least mention the Book of Revelation and the Book of Daniel in The Bible. It would be negligent to omit them from discussion like this.

You are conflating the message with the example given. The point is simply this; some are too eager to solve resource contention issues via population reduction, which is not at all stimulating nor is it innovative. It is the lazy way out,

Another user has already (unapologetically) advanced population reduction arguments. I want to preempt that discussion by condemning it as lazy, selfish thinking. Controlling population as a solution to economic, environmental or similar is

While I don't have much to add, this is very interesting and almost feels patriotic (as an American.) Stripe is, in a way, hacking the global economy and luring entrepreneurs to the do business in the United States. While this iteratio
