   These namings seem to suggest they don't plan a lot of future expansion (not down to the national level)?

   I feel like this should be out of the box ssh functionality. This is exactly what I've needed my whole sshing career.

   This looks great. It needs more coverage and I don't think the silly options are a good selling feature for a real map app. It's just more visual clutter.

   None. (seriously, generally you pay for your articles to be published, academic publishing has a long way to come...)

    This doesn't work in the event higher quality participants are pairing off earlier (i.e., attractive partners get committed earlier in their lives) or in the event attractiveness isn't life static. The Secretary Problem provides a

    For a less "covert" example than I am sure the OP was thinking, you could have "click the red button to continue" sort of like this page does. :)

    This is a very old attack that has numerous security measures to prevent you from doing that now.

    I thought about this for a second, and what it does do is take an "offline" phishing attack and make it an "online" phishing attack that presumably has logs and can be throttled.

    This website doesn't tell me ANYTHING about what Safe actually does. The SVG tour says it "prevents" other people from seeing my data, but given the low competence most products have with regard to security, without details,

    I don't understand all the huff on that forum about this. It pings to see if you have some ports open. So what?

    I tried to do this with EC2 once and it proves to be far too slow to use over RDP. How are they handling that? Does anyone know? The OP called it "pretty snappy" which I assume referred to response time.

    sig=0.05, but please don't trust that for anything meaningful. This is sloppy 8am blog post response statistics. My personal confidence is basically 0. I just wanted to communicate the idea that 60 impressions was insufficient to make

    My very rough and sloppy analysis gives you a credible interval of a conversion rate between 0.28% and 5.61%. At the upper bound of that conversion rate (5.5%), I would handwave and suggest this is comparable to your Google CPC results (dep

    I do not believe this is an exploit on LinkedIn's side. They're just pinging to see if various email addresses derived from your name exist. Maybe a few Google's too.

    I got the button, but tried it on 10 different users and it got none of their email addresses.

    For what it's worth, my opinion on that is the exact opposite. Colin's blog post was enlightening and clearly just his own opinion.

    Tarsnap is extremely low cost as it is for the service it offers. Edit: in most HNers opinion.

    Can you elaborate a little on how you got to that maximization? I am not sure I understand why you're squaring the software level.

    Pretty much anyone that has ever built something has been there. You either built something in search of a problem (i.e., something no one wanted) or failed to reach the audience that did want it (a marketing issue).

    This comment precisely reflects my feelings. One of my company names actually has my own name in it.

    The for loop is a dirty hack to deal with a bug I didn't want to invest time in for one-off code. I wish I had cropped this out of the screenshot...

    This is solved with a variety of methods. I prefer KeePassX stored in Dropbox and available on my phone.
