That's the main reason I don't have a debit card. Only an ATM card, and a credit card.

The branches selector is something that is not very useful on github itself for most applications. The network graph on the other hand, is very useful.

Email addresses aren't exactly unique per-person though. I frequently forget which email I've used on a website, but rarely the username (except for ones where I don't get to choose)

Flying drones are easy. Driving cars is hard. Parent agrees, but the top-level post either disagrees, or has his less than backwards.

My understanding is that, for $3 the author creates a transaction from some wallet of N bitcoins under the author's control, that has a distribution of: 0.000000001 to <hash of document> N - 0.0000000001 - <fee> to o

Don't you have to pay duty in order to export goods to another country? Isn't it the same thing?

It's the person that's paying for the product being taxed, and the merchant is merely collecting that tax. At least, that would be my interpretation.

At some level, it doesn't make too much sense to go that much higher in the power (which I'm assuming is the same as discharge rate, since voltage is fixed). Current lipoly batteries are rated at 30C (Amps per watt*hour). Essentially this m

Well 2^48 ~= 2.8 x 10^14, so it's not as bad as you think for the simple words version (which is the same as 8 characters chosen from 64 choices)

Do you think you could perhaps make it faster by doing computer vision and making the mechanism go up-down only and not waiting for the sensor, and then checking the photo while it moves?

It also sort of depends on the scale of copying. Having easily available "download movie from netflix" versus "download movie from shady piracy website". Obviously, the analog hole is always there, so there will always be that vulnerability

Riot doesn't pay out the coins you spend to other people though. If you buy $1 of an app with these amazon coins, they have to pay the developer their $0.70 (or whatever their cut is). Because of this, the whole income can be realized when

When you press the "shut down" button on your computer, it is going into a soft shutdown state. I don't see the problem here. The On/Off icon should be exclusively used for things that physically sever the power source from the device, whic

Isn't the standby mode appropriate for power switches that are momentary toggle switches that started in ATX cases, as opposed to the on/off button which would be appropriate for the AT cases, where the switch is an actual power switch?

I'm not OP, but something like: public static int ToInt(this BaudRate baudRate) { switch (baudRate) { case BaudRate.BaudUnsupported: return 0; cas

I think this is mostly to do with cookies not working cross domains (for obvious reasons).

It's interesting hearing about the thing my co-workers have been doing on the front page of HN before they tell me themselves.

More than 10% of the time on facebook, I get a "try out these new games your friends are playing" (even though I've rarely played games on facebook), which takes up roughly the same amount of space as the google+ one does.

That doesn't necessarily mean that they don't use source control or build control. The index file linked has tons of production-specific configuration information (database ip/keys), which wouldn't be checked into source control under best

I suppose you wouldn't like a waterbed, then, since it's essentially 1 giant moving part.

In gmail: click the down arrow thingy, then "Show Original Email". Look for the line that says "Delivered-To: XXX@XXX.COM", and that the email it was delivered to.

So does this mean that if you're a high profile target, you should immediately add a random folder to all of your computers in the program files directory?

There at least is a bit of precedent for it, given the Microsoft BizSpark program, and a couple of the game engines are significantly cheaper/free if the company's gross is less than some number. I'm not saying that Xamarin should do that

But the corollary is the guy that wants to make a silly app and give it away for free as a hobby. For instance, I wanted to make a very particular kind of timer application for playing Diablo, primarily for myself but give it away, and the

Doesn't it require ~10 minutes to solidify into the record to prevent double-spending without having the 51% attack?

If your concern is that a single entity is going to have your information, then Diaspora wouldn't help you anyways, as long as at least one of your friends is using a federated service that is a majority service (like blogger).

file_get_contents() had huge problems working for me on my host. I think it was HTTPS, but I could be wrong.
