TLDR: We were paying for likes on Facebook, even though we had no idea what they were or why we wanted them. We also haven't done any research on other ways to advertise on facebook because we assume that's the only way.

These are interesting hacks and there should probably be some ways to help users avoid being deceived in this way. However they don't have much to do with the introduction of the vibrate API. What this assumes is that the phone vibrati

This was not for political disagreement. It was because the article as about transparent political showmanship, which IMO does not meet the standards of the site.

I did not flag it because it goes against my political views. I flagged because it is run-of-the-mill political showmanship, not legitimate news.

"Barack Obama's NSA". What a disappointment is Rand Paul. How about making this about America instead of an unfair attack on a single president? Standing above partisanship will pay dividends to a political career in the end.

Impressive in some sense, but also rather disturbing when the CEO of Evernote admits that the product basically doesn't work. I've always found Evernote to be clunky, so I don't use it, and now I know it's buggy as hell

If the NSA broke RSA, they'd know that it was only a short matter of time before other intelligence agencies did the same, so it would be pretty stupid of them to not hint to industry that they should upgrade their algorithms. While th

You are likely to need quantum computers to demonstrate that they can feasibly break encryption in order to get people to switch to post-quantum cryptography. The fact that an algorithm exists for a non-existent computer system does not mee

I've largely stopped using Uber in place of Lyft and less often Sidecar. Uber drivers tend to be less pleasant and their pricing less transparent than other services. Hear hear for competition. Hopefully Uber will catch up.

This is the sort of code-breaking the NSA should be doing. If breaking encryption algorithms is possible with quantum computers, we should figure out how to do it before any other nation-state or hacker does. This discovery would hopefull

1) There have been a few white male presidents before Barack Obama, in case you didn't know. 2) Many people voted for Obama at least in part because he was black, including myself, because they felt it was time to demonstrate we could

How many black girls who code do you know? There is a sufficient deficit such that there are almost no role models and this sort affirmative action makes sense.

by crystaln 13y ago
No. Because black, like it or not, people stereotype themselves and others by race and color. People put themselves and get put in boxes based on the expectation implied by these characteristics. Black girls don't have role models or e

I wonder if blockchain.info was hacked, how many bitcoins would be stolen, and if that would be enough to undermine the currency, or if bitcoin would move forward with the ownership even more centralized among early adopters, thieves, and s

"we continued to rely upon NIST as the arbiter of that discussion" This seems like a reasonable position to me, but I'm not in the field. Can someone tell me why it's not reasonable, in the face of all sorts of theories

I've never been a jailbreak user - it simply wasn't worth the trouble. However there is one reason I would want to jailbreak - f.lux. Interestingly, this seems to be a common thread among jailbreakers. One of these two reasons alm

"post-processor"? What does that mean? Looks a lot like a pre-processor to me, except that its functionality is limited to what can be defined by pure CSS. I'm not sure why you would choose this preprocessor over one with mor

I don't think the money supply will shrink at a rate that has any significant impact. Maybe it will increase deflation from 5% to 5.1% annually. It's money - people don't like to destroy money. There's a natural incentiv

I'll go back to your original response here. "Subdividing a unit of value does not create new value." So what? Neither does printing money. Mutually beneficial economic activity creates value. The point is, the decline in the

I conflated you with the other response to my post saying bitcoin was not fungible. Regardless, you seem very adept at unfairly attacking my vocabulary usage and finding inconsequential issues with bitcoin. Other than that I don't see

Is this really for a "purchase"? Seems to me it's pretty fundamentally fraudulent to offer for purchase something without the authority to sell it. This means that, at any time, any movie you "purchased" can be remo

bitcoins are definitely fungible. They are interchangeable, of equal value, and sub-dividable. Fungibility does not require that all parts be identical, only of equal value and utility. Also, regardless of whether you find bitcoin useful, c
