Please no. That would be worse than the existing situation; many of the problem cases on SO are CS students.

Actually, that's due to Drive trying to support the system clipboard intelligently (e.g. such that if you pasted into MS Office, you'd actually get a table/cell structure, rather than just text). Browser APIs don't provi

Regardless, the point is that credit cards make money off of each transaction, even if the consumer doesn't see a per-transaction fee.

Let's clarify some things here, before the comment threads take off too much: - This is a prepaid card. It does not proxy other cards, unlike previous rumored versions of a Wallet card. - It only draws from Wallet balance. Funds can

Because Discover makes far more than that on people who owe them credit and don't pay it off immediately, so it's in their interest to get more people to owe them credit in hopes that they'll keep a running balance.

The thing that stood out most as missing to me is a shower. Sure, I suppose you could do that at a gym, but still - having at least a shower is a pretty big quality-of-living improvement (or lack thereof).

You mean like the things that Google has done, as soon as the threat vector seemed credible? http://www.informationweek.com/security/government/nsa-fallo...

Technically, it's impossible to prove a negative. That said, what more evidence do you want than everything Google has done to combat this, including preemptively working to encrypt cross-dc traffic?

Thanks for writing up the same response I had to that article.

Also loops will potentially behave awkwardly, due to the table having shifted into dictionary-esq indexing.

The people behind this really come across as childish, immature, and unprofessional, both in their decision to host the party in question and also in the copy they use on their website: - "We're a coworking space, but we won'

The irony of saying "write less code"? Yes, imgur is itself a service, but it's one with much less complexity (and more generalization) than the OP, and the OP gains nothing from its increased complexity.

Are we really so desperate to stick with buzzwords and "hot tech" that we wind up creating Heroku-powered Ruby apps with Bootstrap UI widget-filled pages to serve up a set of 5 static images over HTTP, rather than just, say, uploa

Something important that seems to be missing from the website's available information: what happens when you hit the limit on free messages but haven't paid? It seems like there's two possibilities with any likelihood, either

Hm. I'm looking at this and "6 billion in 4 seconds" seems misleading - the test that appears to be referring to is "Query 6", which (a) only examines records from 1994 (b) on a table with entries sorted by timestam

Nitroglycerin can be used to make things blow up. It can also be used to help prevent heart attacks. Should we completely ban nitroglycerin simply because it can be used to blow things up? I mean, we're basically trusting people to not

So you admit not even having read the ToS, but now you're ready to believe that it happens, despite the fact that (for example) Google has a fairly straightforward privacy policy that enumerates what they use data for: http:/&#x2

Yeah, we wound up adding similar functionality to Testify ( https://github.com/Yelp/Testify ) before I left Yelp.

In general, filter-branch should be avoided rather than part of a long-term plan. It can cause all kinds of havoc as soon as you move beyond a handful of collaborators.

Google actually has many data centers outside the US (in addition to those it has inside the US).

"Direct access" was the wording used in the original article that started this entire debate. All they're doing is responding to the same language they were presented with.

Except that that would be untrue, because there are perfectly legitimate reasons why the government would have access to data on a small scale - e.g. subpoenaing an individual's records in a specific criminal trial.
