I was thinking the same thing after I failed the first time. Most people might not think of this sort of thing because 'hey, the interstitial shows you important information and it only takes a second', but the ability to just con

Gravity can pretty clearly be measured. I'll assume you meant gravity waves in particular, but even then we have no reason to believe they can't be measured (only that we haven't done it yet).

What are some of the nasty game-theoretic incentives it provides to participants?

They are often faster (higher ratio of seeders to leechers), and are much less likely to have swarms of bots connecting to their torrents recording all the connected IPs so they can send threatening letters to ISPs/users.

Why are you purposely trying to prevent non-mobile users from using your app? Do you think that will prevent cheating?

Alternatively, formspree could publish a public key which you could use to encrypt your email address. To make it easy, they would just have a form on their website which does the encryption for you, giving you the opaque string to use in y

How about a registration page instead? Are you going to not tell the user whether the registration worked or not? I've never seen a site that does that. I've seen tons of sites that tell you "invalid username or password&quot

All work environments are absolutely not like that. I've worked in places exactly like that and places nothing like that. I'm pretty sure it depends largely on the type of business. Businesses where software makes them money tend

I don't think it's actually self contained in the sense that the pump, fans, and radiator are also duplicated in every module. The would be a terrible waste of resources and the modules don't look like they have any room for

It wouldn't be remote login, it would be local login from the network, which routers tend to have enabled by default (how else would you manage them?).

I suspect the statistical confidence is very low for any given individual and only strong when you look at large groups.

They don't write code? Gavin Andresen is a founding member of the Bitcoin Foundation and the lead developer for the reference Bitcoin client. I'm pretty sure he also owns and operates Bitcoin.org, which has been the unofficial off

Ah, very clever, thanks :)

tshadwell did not post a code snippet he wrote. He posted a link to a site that demonstrates the sandbox that Facebook uses (I believe the Facebook engineer that wrote the Facebook implementation also owns escape.alf.nu). This code does not

Eh? Who is "he"? What do you mean routing calls?

So how do you get around it? Or, I suppose more importantly, what else do you have to do to prevent people from getting around it?

The accepted answer teases that this is not enough: Object.defineProperty(console, '_commandLineAPI', { get : function() { throw 'Nooo!' } }) But why isn't it enough?

Mt.Gox has been an unreliable source for the exchange rate for quite awhile now. Bitstamp is pretty much the current gold standard for USD<->BTC rates (Coinbase and BitPay are based on the Bitstamp rate).

I know, which is why I said one of the first rather than the first. Prior to iOS though, the vast majority of phones did not allow you to install apps. Palm and Windows Mobile had a very thin slice of the market.

by gibybo 13y ago
Apple isn't an OS, so I assume you're talking about iOS. iOS is pretty far from the first OS to control what you can install on it. In fact it was one of the first phone OS's that let you install anything at all.

This was already the bottleneck for all of the top solutions. Reducing the start up time was the primary goal and the top solutions were heavily optimizing for it, including compiler configurations. One of the primary reason to compile in a

That was a lot more sophisticated than I expected! By the way, I think I was responsible for about 10k of those 640k pushes :) I was really hoping for an overview of the solutions people found for each level though. Going through individual

The chrome extensions requires putting '@@' at the start of the password field. This turns it yellow to indicate it is now active for that field. >Sure, but as long as the site actually sets the password length limit on the fie

It doesn't get rid of the substantial opportunity cost of the money used to pay for that house. It's not at all fair to ignore that when stating his yearly expenses. They are more like $40-50k when you include it.

I think the reason they did it is because a lot of sites have maximum password lengths that would prevent the full output. Those are exactly the type of sites that you want to be using something like this on.

For those looking for something ultra lightweight, I highly recommend pwdhash ( http://pwdhash.com ). It's not a password manager, it's just an open source hashing algorithm that protects you from sites storing your pass

The article decided the odds were: 32 teams, each with a 50% chance of winning, so the odds must be 1 in 2^32! It's obviously wrong, of course, but journalists aren't typically known for their statistical math backgrounds. Interes

Sorry, I did miss that. It is an excellent point.
