If you have higher security accounts which have gmail as the contact email, then the gmail account should be treated the same. Breaking into gmail gives access to many password recovery mechanisms. But I agree for low priority sites: my pas

There is always a crash coming ... Are you sure the next crash that knocks N% off the market won't come after the market has risen a further N+x% while your money is on the sidelines? Are you sure you can time the bottom of the crash w

Don't have an answer for the question, but how about coming up with a list of charities you want to support and seeing if they are interested in advertising directly on the site for free?

Well, depends on location ... I think mine was down around -10F last night and I don't have room for one in a heated space. I suspect it will be a while longer before battery technology is as useful above the 49th parallel.

Except in some cases you may have a way of securely communicating the key at an earlier point in time. For example, you generating a 1TB key before leaving on a trip you could imagine a VPN set up that encrypted 1TB of traffic in a way that

It looks impressive, but it would help to be able to tell the hype from reality: "Sensors flood the device with terabytes of data every second" ... somehow I doubt the aggregate bandwidth of the device is > 1TB\s Makes it harde

Interesting idea ... might be useful to be able to invert the cost measures. For example on the SSD page seeing $/GB instead of GB/$. Seeing the price per GB go down is more intuitive to me than seeing the GB per $ go up ... not

I wonder how they managed to keep the calorie intake the same for each group as mentioned in the study? Either the mice self-regulated this, and the shorter window mice learned to eat more when it was available or there was a fixed amount o

I find Typescript catches all sorts of typos that get missed in pure JS because I don't have 100% code coverage tests. Sure a JSLinter might catch some of those, but it won't find mis-spelled method names. Other benefits include

If you want to hook it up to a device with a USB port then there are any number of USB card swipers that will easily reader the card details and you could then integrate with Stripe. For a mobile solution something like https://c

This looks great! Any thoughts on hooking it up to a graph layout algorithm so you can specify the graph without the co-ordinates?

Yes, they are different. But that just makes it a substitution cipher with unique keys. A one time pad requires a key as long as all the messages you want to encode since each key bit is only used once.

Of course it really is frameworks all the way down. Unless maybe you're building systems by laying out your own transitors. The trick is to understand the strengths and weaknesses of any given framework and match those with the constr

Would this have any affect on whether issuing banks accept or reject payments? This part of the process seams especially opaque and I've had far more customers than I would have expected have cards declined for no discernible reason. I

Good point. My javascript solution uses two hidden fields with very similar names. One that the script fills in and one that it doesn't. Bots will either hit both or neither and get rejected. Screen readers/toolbars may be an i

Cool idea -- what kind of spam protection can it offer though? I'm not worried about the email address being in the open, but my original contact page form was getting hundreds (thousands?) of spam submissions a day until I implemented

That is an interesting point. You can of course always buy an annuity to benefit from the risk spreading whilst retaining control over your pension funds up to that point. Are there products that let you do this pre-retirement as opposed t

In a traditional 'desktop style' app simply ported to the web this may be possible. But in a multi-user app that may not be the case. What if the record you deleted was subject to some kind of uniqueness constraint. If another u

Having an option to show the effective monthly rate (incl. the amortized up front cost) for light/medium/heavy reserved instances would be great ... I always end up creating a spreadsheet for those.

This would be very interesting to try -- I don't trust the GPS accuracy of my phone over short distances, so using GPS to detect pace changes could be error prone. As an extra advanced trick: adjust the stride length for incline change
