I have the impression that the possibility to track bitcoins history make it less anonymous than real money. There is a thin invisible string linking all bitcoin holders together and that can be followed. With honeypots, and help of NSA lik

My feeling is that this return to waterfall development model is induced by the app validation process imposed by Apple. I don't call back in question it's pertinence and efficiency. I just point out that publishing an app has aga

How do you know when you're making it too complex? On one hand you have Hello world! And on the other the vilain project manager requests. But say you design a distributed system and its protocol, how do you know what is to keep and w

Sure, this is a good question. But are we really talking about the same thing ? An iPhone app to control a cockroach and animal farming to produce food ? Why an iPhone app, BTW ?

By reading this I can't stop myself to confuse the app user as the cockroach himself. Consider it seen from Apple perspective: who is controlling who ? The other question I ask myself is if this is just another one of those "busin

Do you think the NSA spying operation in the US is only for terrorism ? This sounds so much like the pedophile argument when talking about internet privacy.

I red somwhere that RSA signature verifcation (decryption with the pulic key) is significantly faster than with ECC. I didn't check it my self, but that is the reason. CryptoPP author told me the same thing.

What about crowd sourcing ? Setup a big data server named NSAleaks. Change data like phone numbers, names and locations so that only NSA can map them back to the real value. Then let people search it. Offer a reward for finding abnormal pa

Because Stackoverfow is not a place where you can't ask for help or open questions. There are restrictive rules for the type of question one may ask. So I don't think Stackoverflow is what a company should use.

One should not consider HN votes as a process equivalent to a democratic process where everyone expresses his opinion on the submission. Do not assume lack of interest of HN readers to your submission if it doesn't get to the front page. To

It might be a black spot in his career. It will be difficult to explain what went wrong while staying positive. Beside, this can strongly affect his moral. A back flip, if possible is in my opinion the right move: get the hell out of this.

I would have thought twice in the first place to join an accelerator. What do you get in return for these $40K ? Will your startup get this money back at least 4 to 5 times with what they offer ? A startup should earn money ASAP and any inv

It took me time but I understood why the suggested race condition with two or more clients can't happen. But this require that pending information is not "overwritten" and preserved until becoming good. The x=10 is then never overwritten by

This is what I also ghough in the first place. But now I think beeing good is very important inside of the team. Relation with the outside has different constrains and may thus require different qualities.

Thank you very much for the link. I'll use this site from now on. It's sad MDN url is not returned first with a google query.

What could I do to correct this ?

Indeed, according to http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_timing.asp , the first parameter of setTimeout should be a function. I don't know if "_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', '15_seconds', 'read'])" will be treated as a function.

Yes, but google could still use the statistic information to adjust it's pageRank. We don't know. Though it would be easier to trick than the reference counting pageRank algorithm

I guess they have their own method to gather statistics instead of depending on google.

These are specific use case. Indeed in some cases lists are more efficient than arrays. The advice to use arrays instead of linked list is a rule thumb. Not all programmers are still sucking their thumb. ;)
