That's a fair point. The raid seemed to have been fairly quick, efficient and polite (compared to other raids I've read about). So, combine that and the fact that nothing was seized, and it sounds to me like the police were just c

I've always flip-flopped on grasping the Monty Hall thing (sometimes I'd think I understand, other times not so much)... but this little guessing game really clarified it for me, once and for all. Thanks!

Is this a common bug? Were you seeing it in some kind of developer release, perhaps? I've never had that happen to me, and I browse Youtube in Safari every single day.

I think the parent meant USPS shipments always gets delivered by Australia Post (that's how USPS usually does deliveries in other countries: they use that country's official service), whereas UPS gets their packages delivered by a

Indeed. I'm not really sure why the author went with "the complexity of the web" is the real culprit. It was google, and specifically this guy's team, that was at fault. They put auto-playing sound on one of the most pop

This seems ok for really simple invoices, maybe with just one or two line items. But anything more complex than that and it would seem foolish not to use a spreadsheet, I think. I'd get annoyed having to do the math myself.

As far as I understand it, the money that was transferred out did not come from nowhere... Ultimately it was the bank's money. Edit: Meant to also mention also that the whole making-it-look-like-an-account-had-more-money concept was ab

That's pretty good, but it's second place to my desire for a Majel Barrett voice pack.

To be fair, LaTeX has a more complicated method of processing text since it considers a lot of typographic issues that browsers do not, so it has to be slower than a browser when rendering text. That said, I don't know enough to say wh

Isn't telling people that they're hellbanned against the whole point of hellbanning?

In addition to incentivizing the re-use of cards, there's another good reason no one seems to have pointed out: the MTA needs money to keep the fares as low as $2.50. They have a history of not making enough money, and everyone in NYC

To be pedantic, the article mentions that he's using "the Windows command line", and not Bash. So Powershell's non-cross-platformness does not seem to be breaking his goals any more than that.

I apologize for the confusion, but I meant the official Amazon appeal that you can do when you're kicked off. It's a one-shot thing, and his description of the appeal said that he tried to ask for more details and state that he ha

I work for a book store that sells roughly 40,000 items on Amazon (some but not all of those via FBA), and since I've been in charge of the Amazon sales, I've had our account "permanently" shut down several times. Each t

I'm a little confused by what this does... Can't you just not 'git add' a file to have git ignore its changes?

I'm really intrigued by this idea... Does anyone know of anywhere that's actually tried this?

Such a "not me" link only prevents abuse if the person receiving that email checks their email the instant it's sent and clicks the "not me" link instantly as well. Otherwise, someone could sign up for a site using a random person's email a

But what is it actually straight forward about? All that can be gleaned from this particular graph is that there are a lot of noise complaints at night, a lot of streetlight complaints around noon, and that there's a larger variety of compl

I mean no offense, but based on the folks I know using Twitter (at least here in NYC), I'm not so sure that people on Twitter are good representations of all of America.

I'm extremely skeptical that this mic/amp/audio thing is actually the case. First and foremost, Apple's iPods have (for quite a while) reserved a few pins on their dock connector for audio out, so I'd be surprised if the iPhone did not do t

I know very little of autism or iPhone apps, but the first two things that popped into my mind upon reading the headline of this post were: http://projects.gnome.org/tomboy/ and: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Audio_Coding

As I understand it, a command-line app is typically something which is only accessed from your shell's command line, like 'ls'. You can type 'ls' and follow it with whatever arguments you want to follow it with, but it will always land you

All those questionable examples and not one mention of search engines? I'd argue that search engines are a much much bigger threat to URLs than all of the author's examples combined. (You don't need to know a URL if you can just search for
