I wonder if he could regenerate the screenshot on the server side, or more realistically simply show the same information on a web page. Then he could put all the information that goes into the screenshot—“amounts, tax, subtotal, top and to

However simplistic, it’s hard to deny that in the public understanding of German political history, that’s the generally accepted explanation for political stagnation and crisis in the Weimar Republic. Similarly, the German public understan

The policy is clear, and based on other comments here probably mandated by the payment networks, but that doesn’t mean it’s reasonable. It’s perfectly reasonable to expect merchants to be prepared for chargebacks and have a buffer for that.

The Raspberry Pi is an awesome device at an unbeatable price. They achieve this by using a Broadcom part that is normally only available in huge quantities and you need to sign over your firstborn just to see a datasheet. It would still be

I tend to agree with you about jury trials, but having the “real” decisions made by specialist judges in the Federal Circuit has dangers too. Many legal scholars believe that the trend toward allowing more software and business method paten

The article states that interest rates were high back then. If you assume that the buyers would use them for 40 years on average, and use a cost of capital of 15%, these things would make sense if the cost of providing the flights was expec

The user does explicitly either take the photo inside the Instagram app or select it. Note that the final button that published the photo to the user’s stream is labeled Done, not Upload. They don’t just arbitrarily upload photos from the c

If Amazon decided to sell e-books for $9.99, that’s surely not the revenue maximizing price for the publishers in the long run, or the profit maximizing price when looking at e-books in isolation. Amazon had a huge interest in locking users

Are you referring to bluetooth-central? That’s for the CoreBluetooth framework, which in turn is only for Bluetooth Low Energy: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/Miscel...

They are not very accurate if you are trying to map addresses to zip codes, for example. The data is compiled based on Census tracts. For each census tract, it tells you the most common zip code in that tract.

I was under the impression that iOS apps can only talk directly to Bluetooth Low Energy devices, not Bluetooth 2.1. Your Kickstarter page only mentions Bluetooth 2.1 support. What am I missing?

“It’s hard to find a mathematics in which Instagram worth $1 billion in cash, but in pre-IPO stock, Facebook could stomach the hit.” This statement might make sense if Facebook were cash strapped, but in fact Facebook has plenty of cash. By

I believe this is also the case for public switched telephone network in the US. On a landline, the name and number of the calling party is transferred by Bell 202 and a lot of phones will display this information.

It’s worth noting that Apple has at least attempted to address many of these concerns. Rate on delete is gone and they’ve added “Top Grossing”. These days app reviews usually take a week. Of course the app store is still filled with junk ap

The Republican Party did start as a third party, and it might be useful to look at how they succeeded: http://thinkprogress.org/yglesias/2011/08/06/289913/gop-as-t... They managed to convince a lot of incumbent politicians to jump ship an

I’m not sure; would you consider that a good thing or a bad thing for this purpose? If you consider it a bad and a security risk, then I would answer that the RSA private key would still be protected by a master password on the client side.

It's still an information asymmetry story. From my cursory reading, the contribution is to identify what kind of information asymmetry is involved in healthcare, namely that it's more about the cost of treatment than about the probability o

Would everything have to go through their servers? I can’t imagine that HTML5 apps on iOS have permission to open enough sockets to avoid that.
