I think it is a fairly common requirement to use multiple IPs to avoid throttling or for APIs that restrict access to individual IPs. The fact that he was confused by it does not help his credibility when he is trying to tell people how to

His requests module is an improvement, but he says being able to specify the outbound IP of an HTTP request is out of the scope of his module??? https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/394 That's why I am still using urllib2.

Same thing happened to us. Except they cut us off the 2nd time we got over the minimum payout threshold. They asked for logs when we were using Google Analytics...

It was really easy to make a tiny amount of money from adbrite. The minimum payout is only $5 iirc, which is much more easily attained than the $100 from adsense even though they pay less per click. The annoying thing is the 90 day delay.

My question about extracting valid emails got closed as a duplicate of a question about validating emails. The answer they provided? "Try to send an email there and if it works, it is valid." How is this supposed to help extract emails from

When I was active I would see many of the "doing it wrong" answers. It didn't seem like a big problem at the time. I always did my best to answer the question properly. After a long hiatus, I made a new account a couple weeks ago because I

You can see bug fixes on a tracker sure. But how many lines of code is that going to be compared to a new feature or game?

When times are tough the guy who does the most menial tasks gets fired first and replaced with someone cheaper. The thing about being the guy who fixes software, is that no one will hear about it if you are doing a good job at it.

That's what they say, but what do you think really happens when you are consistently rated lower than your peers?

The huge advantage of B2B is that businesses get to write off your payment as an expense, so they are much more likely to pay you more.

If your SSL is compromised, the attacker can insert javascript to send the unencrypted password somewhere else. That is why security experts like tpacek have repeatedly said js encryption schemes aren't secure.

When your job is on the line due to stack ranking your opinion may change.

There is a serious flaw with this model. The flaw is that no one wants to fix anything because fixing things is boring and usually results in lower peer reviews than building a new feature or game. Anyone who has daily exposure to Valve's i

I spent 10 seconds writing the reply to the 1 bullet because that is what I knew about off the top of my head. I am not going to waste 20 minutes researching all your other bullet points that you probably just as sloppily cobbled together j

It is fairly evident that you have an extreme PayPal bias and that you are arguing in desperation rather than logic. Take a moment to think about the fact that you cited something completely un-innovative. Then think about the fact that not

You seem to be a Paypal fanboy. Paypal was not the first to invent disposable credit cards. http://news.cnet.com/2100-1017-245428.html So you were saying?

Well that's my point. Not only was it unoriginal, but it was discontinued.

I know this. I was just quoting someone else. I remember when power users came out far before v3. That was when I started browsing Reddit more often.

As someone who used Digg and Reddit from their infancy I have been able to observe when and how Digg fell from #1. I don't think they failed because they were having delusions of grandeur. The 1st mistake that Digg made was the introduction

This comment should be at the top. I don't see any reason to use Dwolla instead of Paypal if they are going to handle chargebacks the same way. As much as I hate Paypal, you will earn more money by being able to receive credit cards from di

Not everyone here is a founder. Most people on HN are employees and don't want 130 hour weeks to become the norm.

by codexon 14y ago
It is definitely a flaw for the customers. But as long as Valve is making enough money, the employees can work on whatever they want and Gabe won't care. This is why many of the "unsexy" parts of Valve are in utter disarray. The Steam chat

You can unbind it by deleting it after using it so it is practically anonymous.
