Is there any legal way to make a license plate not easily photographable, perhaps with a bright led?

Unless you are incredibly desperate, this is a terrible, terrible idea, as is dealing with any VC or organization that demands these terms. Even if you are successful, you will end up with nothing. The investor will dictate subsequent terms

It irks you because of some design principle you read somewhere, or because it's actually a problem. This is true of many fonts, and is a rational choice.

Complaining about Nigerian scammers is also pretty stupid - both useless and tiresome. Delete and move on.

If that's the case, why not be upset at something that matters. There is lots of much more impactful incompetence to complain about. Bad recruiters are largely harmless. And seriously, I can't imagine a more elitist, entitled atti

Why do recruiter emails bother people so much? Just ignore them. Sometimes they give me a small piece of visibility into the job market. Mostly they are a non-event. Why let it bother you?

As I said, they are definitely incompetent. However, it's quite clear that this is a bug, and it could have affected them, and they could be telling the truth, contrary to what the original article says.

Ok.. thanks. Perhaps changing it to "Microsoft Office Online free no longer hidden" would have been more appropriate. Linking to just "Microsoft Office Online" gives no sense of the purpose of the post. Not that it matte

Why was this "now free" removed from this subject of this submission??? That was the interesting part of this submission! :-/

I didn't say there was a bug in the protocol. There is a bug in the REFERENCE implementation, which is used by almost every exchange. And one criticism of MtGox was that they used a custom version of the reference implementation, and s

Please state your point rather than providing just a link. I don't know what you are trying to say.

by crystaln 13y ago
The statement is inherently flawed, regardless of its source. Because some exchanges were unaffected does not mean that MtGox was not affected, and the statement itself implies that other exchanges were affected which would be evidence in

"Some exchanges were in fact completely unaffected, revealing as false Gox’s claims that this was a bug in bitcoin." This reveals a lack of objectivity here. There IS a bug in bitcoin. There are workarounds, and some exchanges imp

Assuming you are sarcastically dismissing typed language defenses, as if people promoting typed languages have the position that tests are not necessary.
438.
by crystaln 13y ago
If you don't understand why a dynamic language needs more tests than a typed one, you probably haven't worked with typed languages. The difference is dramatic and clear. Just one example, code coverage must be 100% for a dynamic l

by crystaln 13y ago
Type safety dramatically reduces the number of unit tests required. Since unit tests often depend on the structure of code, that reduces the amount of rewritten and modified test code and the stability of the tests over refactors, which in

Presumably you mean gross margin, calculated as revenue less cost of goods and excluding payment fees. For a $100 sale that costs $75 (a 25% gross margin, typical for internet sales), and a payment fee of 5%, the fee is $5, or 20% of the $2

TLDR: Class hierarchies should only be used for truly hierarchical objects, which is rare. Composition is almost always the correct structure. When in doubt, use composition. You can almost never go wrong this way. Another way to look at it

By increasing the value of extra rooms and allowing people to monetize their vacancies, AirBNB necessarily increases the demand for rooms and the ability of people to pay more rent. This must push up rent. It is impossible for it not to. La

Having one characteristic of a police state marginally met in a single instance does not mean sufficient characteristics are met most of the time. I can guarantee you, living in San Francisco and having lived in actual police states, the US

You're missing the point. What makes an iPhone more real than an emulator? Is it that we consider an iPhone to be real and an emulator to be a simulator, is it that one came first? An emulator is still real. One could emulate an emulat

We are living in a universe with natural laws and intelligence. Whether it's a "simulation" is sort of a nonsensical question. Is an iPhone emulator a simulation or an actual iPhone? What distinguishes those two other than ou

So you found there to be some reliable information in the Airbnb article? Please extract that here, as I all I found was a bunch of unsupported defensive statements cleverly disguised as scientific conclusions.

by crystaln 13y ago
PR disguised as science. I like Airbnb in many ways, but these arguements are shallow and wrong. If Airbnb is used to help pay for rent, that necessarily pushes rent upwards. That their research shows Airbnb makes housing "more afforda

There is another disconnect. Calling the US a "totalitarian police state" without so much as a hedge is incredibly ignorant. While the US has the potential to become a totalitarian police state, it is far from one. You can go ahea
