The problem with the YogaGlo patent is that covered basically what you would do if you wanted to film a yoga class and thought about it for five minutes... and there was plenty of "prior art" using the same strategy. If it was a t

+1. The full acronym is USA PATRIOT, which, every time I read it, causes me to throw up in my mouth a little bit. So far from protecting the actual ideals the US claims to stand for.

I've been interested in the two approaches to mapping out cities and larger places. Google, for example, has StreetView cars, building a point cloud and texture map of parts of the world. In video games like GTA, LA Noire and Watch Do

So as an individual who wants to conduct transactions involving more than $10,000, in increments of less than $10,000, what do you do? You can't file a Currency Transaction Report on amounts less than $10,000. You could demand that th

I understand that the SEC is also asking Athena to cease and desist, but did Athena's scheme actually make them money? If so, a $1M civil penalty doesn't seem like much of a deterrent for those thinking to do the same thing.

I think it's worth highlighting that, even if you think you are doing something entirely legal, when a customer mentions your product or service in the context of their illegal operation, you need to politely ask them to leave and seve

So what are the actual rate limits on unlock code discovery? If you're typing in passwords, it might take a while. If you've disassembled and imaged the storage device, and have physical access to the hardware security module (HSM

So won't high frequency traders discover your limits (by posting and canceling orders rapidly) and drive you into them, costing you money? I thought this was the simplest kind of fish for them to catch.

Oddly the article doesn't seem to explain why this sort of deal makes sense: 1) Overseas cash for a U.S. corporation isn't taxed unless it's brought into the U.S., so if you have a pile of overseas cash, why not buy something

Mericle got 1 year, and Powell (the lawyer acting as an intermediary) got 18 months. Both received lighter sentences for cooperating, which seems a little south of justice to me. http://thetimes-tribune.com/news/robert

I'm curious about what you mean by the theatrics of learning to code. I like to present coding as "a thing you could do right now if you wanted", but I also think it's important to not describe it as easy, because

_Could this kind of gross misconduct be considered homicide?_ Here's the painful thing: no jury will determine that without the blessing of a prosecutor. Prosecutors have a lot of power, and few checks on that power, as I think this st

Sure, but Project Euler is a labor of love, not a high volume e-commerce site. It makes sense that they'd start with a hash and not change it for years. I'm not angry or surprised at this disclosure, and appreciate their honesty.
