If you trust your compiler you can verify that your build is the safely based on the source that you have. If the build is deterministic then you could verify that the binary being distributed to the masses isn't compromised by buildin

This never made sense to me, why was this behavior defined this way and why has no browser challenged it? A more rational rule would be something like "only send header if the referer url is http, or if the referer and destination have

Yes, this is standard practice at any major US software company and is part of your employment contract. In some cases it really does make sense, where you have privileged knowledge by working at the company and directly competing publicly

Is it actually better for students that they can't default on their loans? I usually hear it the opposite way, that even after bankruptcy proceedings you still have your student loan debt following you around.

I don't think it is fair to say anything I won't install has no value, I won't install WhatsApp or Snapchat either. Pretty much 0% of all apps that have enough value to raise $1m seed funding provide enough value for me to in

A very large amount of my phone messages are actually null-content messages: my phone is very often a "I'm here" when picking someone up, or "let me in" or "done shopping, waiting for you" if I'm groc

This is a delayed reply, but I really disagree. Flash has (had?) already won. Everyone already has it installed: almost all consumer computers have it installed by default and Chrome runs it without even having the adobe software installed.

Not all internet users are Netflix subscribers. Installing Silverlight is fairly heavyweight, and a lot of people aren't willing to install something like that to watch some random cat video on a random website. The net effect of this

Because of the obvious barriers to entry to reach a point where you are exploiting workers? Or because some people probably would prefer not to exploit others for profit? Your point would make some sense if all owners of companies bootstrap

Ah, interesting. I haven't played TF2 since the player marketplace was introduced. It uses to be either buy from the official store or go through some pretty shady websites.

Most of the gameplay-affecting weapons are $2+ each (example [1]). It's true that they are sidegrades (it isn't just pay-to-win), but its kind of disingenuous to say they cost "mere pennies" [1] http://store.t

Out of curiosity, how do you live comfortably on $25K a year in SF when the rent for a studio apartment alone costs more than that?

A cab and trailer is probably already something like $200-300k already, so I could see this sort of truck easily being more than $100k more expensive just in the upfront cost.

Actually, that sort of logic is probably exactly why it hasn't happened. The marginal increase in costs for this is almost certainly much much higher than $25k.

Free speech is a larger concept in America than the legal protection, specifically that people with alternate viewpoints should be respected even if you disagree, and that a marketplace of ideas is a good thing for society.

More likely the reality is that the reason they went ahead with it is because they knew they would get a bunch of PR for it and a corresponding spike in signups. That isn't the sort of thing you can come out and say in a gizmodo interv

Many courts don't agree with your interpretation of the "half-century-old widely-accepted jurisprudence". How can you possibly claim it is a "thoroughly settled question" when gay marriage is only currently legal in
