This was solved in India by many many online vendors by using Cash on Delivery. CoD was a remnant of the days of telemarketing because Indians didn't possess credit cards/debit cards. Now most Indians who order online do have credit cards b

Clicked through to the article hoping to see a picture of the laptop. Was not disappointed! :) On topic though, this just shows how ridiculous the MAFIAA is getting these days. Unfortunately, this episode played out negatively on the artist

Actually, on looking deeper it appears that cloudfront does NOT support dynamic gzipping. So unfortunately, cloudflare would be your only option. Also, google's pagespeed service (in beta) is also an option. Also free, so that's good :D EDI

Hang on! So your article says "CDN to cache them (which CloudFront supports)" but you're actually using CloudFLARE ? :O We're all so confused by this! Haha :D

Actually that's exactly what happened to me! :P I thought oh so cloudflare can fix this, eh. I should just reverse proxy my stuff through cloudflare. Then I realized, oh they said cloudfront. So you could still technically keep your stuff i

Oh my god! I missed this for a while but .. wait a minute. You're saying that I can find $580 and help save this kid Cesar ?! Or Alan even ?! This is absolutely FANTASTIC!! I'm really curious as to how you carry out on the ground execution

So it's one of their advertisers. Main problem with 3rd party ad networks =/ Hope they sort it out. For what it's worth, torrentfreak is pretty clean.

Nice post, tons of great advice. However, I have to say that the title is wrong. There's nothing django specific about any of those approaches. I've tried django-compress and it was a nightmare, the old style synccompress was actually easie

The story is not false. As confirmed by the same guy: https://twitter.com/SreenivasanJain And Hindustan Times who say that the girls are to appear in court. http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/Mumbai/Mumbai-woman...

Why do you say that the debates were worthless ? What's wrong with discussing a situation and it's outcomes ?

That's quite possible, the copy paste is quite obvious though I don't know for sure which way it went. I don't know who this tweet is from or his credibility so I'll just leave it up in the air for now. It's still alarming that they were va

Really ? The guy tweeting seems legit but even timesofindia has this story: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/21-year-old-girl-ar... Also the vandalism of the clinic definitely happened.

I .. I'm just ashamed of what's happening over here these days. Free speech appears to be an absolute illusion. It's all well and good until you say something even remotely related or critical of a popular personality. Then, it's jungle law

My question was: Why would you create a function that does something you could access as a built in language feature ? What is the benefit of using a function as opposed to just evaluating the result of i%3==0 ? Looking at a function call f

Yes, I see your point. But in this case if I wanted to change it to do it on 7, I'd have to make a change in 3 places. 1. The function definition (def multiple_of_3) 2. The function contents (number % 3 == 0) 3. The function call(s). If I d

I see an incorrect algorithm in your solution but I don't really see what would be called an edge case (just to explain: anything divisible by 3 will enter the first conditional and omit the last, hence the algorithm you've used is incorrec

Is it just me or does his "sample" program look needlessly complex ? Does he really need to create all those function definitions ? I'm not super familiar with ruby but those ARE function definitions - right ? Since when is it good programm

Startups are not appealing because they do not offer a key ingredient that most people look for in jobs 'stability'. Want to work longer hours for lesser money and a lot more risk ? For a lot of people the answer to that is no. Furthermore,

I think the article opens with a good point. I ENVY the design community. I am JEALOUS of the programmer/developer community. Want to know why? It’s simple: They thrive on sharing, collaborating, and improving their field. I honestly beli

This looks very complicated to me. HTML and CSS have separate structures because they do different things. It's like roads and the lines on a road. I took a look at the examples and I'm sure that this style of coding would solve some proble

Thanks for the advice. Yeah we're severing the outsourcing relationship from this week onwards. The plan is to hire an in house dev team and I just want to make the right decision about the way forward. I wouldn't say that the code is a pro

So your conclusion is that advertising works ? Well, I can see why you'd be concerned about pissing people on HN off. However, if there were no advertising anywhere, how would we know what products to buy ? Mainstream advertising channels m

That's pretty great for streaming music since music can easily be streamed over 3G level speeds. Of course, video is a completely different ball game.
