It's pretty nice. In my ipad the header only shows/hides if I scroll up/down AND stop touching the screen. Maybe that needs to be changed.

Hi, I'm a manager, and sometimes I feel like you. Sometimes I need to ask developers to do things I don't believe in or things I'll throw away in a few months. This also demotivates me. You need both a lot of discipline and

Except for me and my partner (founders, CTO and CEO respectively) all our directors are women. Females represent more than 60% of our company. We never had any of such events happening in the workplace. Immaturity is asexual. This situation

In my company we have an application that stores an API key in its local storage. This API key is generated by the client app when it's first run and it's individual. If it gets stolen only that client will have its security compr

Oi!! The general idea is this: IIN is issued to visa branches around the world each branch can only have one IIN. Problem is, visa is not the only issuer of visa cards. Many banks and financial institutions can also issue in lieu of visa an

Yes, we do have around that number of tables which reflected into those thousands of models. Many of them are related to storing 'frozen' regulation data. One example: every X time we need to create something very similar to a IRS

Hi, my credit card company is not listed there, yet it exists: my IIN is 6371. I'm afraid this is not completely accurate at all. There are many credit card IINs and those are just a very few and will not work with some international c

Certainly most of you have already read but next time you read "A Brief History of Time" focus more on how Stephen thinks and how he deals with uncertainty, it's like reading a new book.

Certainly a good - and probably the best - option right now. But maybe there are simpler alternatives. Maybe passwords shoudn't mean anything, just like losing a key on a busy street is not exactly a security threat to its owner, passw

Hi Marco, I own a credit card company/bank/gateway and I can answer that: They are using a small protocol (XML or plain ISO8583) over a somewhat fast connection (X.25, GPRS, 3G or the store's internet - ADSL, etc). Connection

It's been a while since I didn't comment on anything on HN, but since you are doing something that is really hard and I have some experience with accounting and banking, may I offer you some tips that you might want to investigate

In my company I started to issue smart cards instead of simple magnetic cards, because the tech is so hard to implement I started to question if this was a mild case of security through obscurity. I really hope this isn't the case, man

There is just one single (and dead) negative comment about Tim Ferriss in this thread. "What have you done?" Ask that more often, you will be surprised to learn that mostly every single person actually creates and do things that a

Maybe it came out undervaluing Tim's help (which is worth much more than 100k), we share the exact the same opinion. I'm sure that with Tim's help, any startup would get a huge investment within weeks.

I would also invest 100k-1mi in a company that's growing 10% month-to-month and had 10k+ paying users. No companies in such position should need to raise that amount money. It's not completely useless, but: you can't hire tal

80% of my costs come from securing client data and having a HA environment. We were using Oracle DB for many years, switched to PostgreSQL last month due to usability problems, not cost. I hope you make clear to your users that there will b

You are wrong. Rule of law is a judiciary state or institutional system in which every actor respects the same set of rules, from individuals to the very institutions that creates the rules, those rules usually imply separation of powers an

The damage this did to american tech companies doing business overseas is HUGE. How can you trust Amazon won't give access to your RDS account to someone? A hyperbole now but could happen in the future: How can I trust a judge didn&#x2

I'm sorry, but google's response was demagogical at best (what does 'direct access' even means!??!). In many countries the judiciary would already be in the case and the head of those companies (which didn't provide

BizSpark has rules many startups cannot follow and is only valid for 3 years. This is the same selling scheme used by drug dealers.

You couldn't buy the VS licenses + SQL Server + Windows Server with the money YCombinator provides you. So, yes, most microsoft products are incredibly damaging for a startup.

Keep in mind that .NET is relatively new to the enterprise and lots of those companies didn't even get out of cobol yet. Opinion: Timing is a important factor here. My bet is those enterprise companies skipped the .NET/JavaEE era and will j
