I've never really digged into column-oriented storage, so had a quick skim... Would the below excerpts/example be a fair note of pros/cons of the general idea? > Column-oriented organizations are more efficient when an agg

Is "ACH" basically the same as what we call "Direct Debit" in the UK? If so I'd also love stripe support for Direct Debit ... like GoCardless[1] [1] https://gocardless.com/

Would I be correct in saying this is kind of like Docker? I mean, I know it's not a "container" system exactly... but it seems almost like a platform for encouraging developers to containerize/package their web apps and

This is where you want 2FA really. Each time the user logs in from a new "client" ask for a 2FA code from something like their phone. Things like Authy and Google Authenticator make this relatively painless to implement.

Can't remember which talk it was from but I remember enjoying Joe Armstrong speaking about the importance of a language being "correct" rather than fast: The performance problem is solved. You just wait 20 years.

Detecting the location of the client by IP is not going to be very reliable, it's a false sense of security at best. You want to make it impossible to hijack, not detect it when it's too late! Even tieing a session to a single sou

This is the "Tab ID". It is not sent over the network as I understand and is only available from the local js context. It's the result of a bit of hackery Chrome does to map requests to the webview. EDIT: Found the bug report

Finally someone really tackling the big issues of today. With the help of the state, maybe we can stop headphones from falling out of our ears and put a stop to unopenable plastic packaging! ~~ This seems pretty unenforceable, and Micro-USB

sqitch is the only approach to version controlled migrations I've found that actually works long term. I wish more people would invest time into learning it so that it would become more commonplace.

As soon as my file is readable by javascript it could be sent anywhere by your code. I'm not saying you do , but it could . Therefore this adds an unnecessary risk. I would have to disconnect my machine from the network and clear a

Should this technique technically work for the failure of two motors too (assuming the remaining motors are opposite)? Or would it be impossible to build up the inertia for a stable spin? If motors could rotate, could it even fly on one? ..

You are of course quite right. It wasn't a ban in any legal sense. Though I do think it highlights that the method is already frowned upon... and as and when the public becomes more aware of the fact they are walking around broadcastin
