Very interesting analysis. I'm in the process myself of spinning up a saas with multiple forms of payment. However, my UX basis for bitcoin would be something like gyft which uses bitpay. These transactions are instantaneous and dire

by joshuak 13y ago
Well, unlike most currencies or commodities bitcoin can be traded at volume for currencies outside of a monitored environment. This means using bitcoins in a trisection does not effect the trading price, and people could trade in 'dar

You say that like having an OS level dev kit was never part of the plan. So your position is they whipped together a dev kit in 8 months on the shocking revelation that programmers would want to develop on the device itself? No, what they d

We were just about to add payments to our site, and Braintree was high on the list to checkout. Any other suggestions in addition to Stripe? -edit- This seems like a good list: http://gatewayindex.spreedly.com

I was thinking it would be cool to make an open source digital trading card game based on a bitcoin like protocol to insure card existence and distribution probability. (plus there's the nice circular reference) I'm sure I'll

Yes, but even then it only needs to prompt when it wants information from the keychain to fill in forms and such. The question is why would this blog page trigger such an event?

Why does chrome prompt me for keychain access on this page? I'm not logged in, and it doesn't log me in.

This [1] is my desk, and I love it (I actually have 2 in a half circle, one PC one Mac). I've added a second deck, and the Mac side as 2 cinema displays on arms so they can be raised to eye level when standing. Now this is a little exp

Awesome, but too many words. Deposit x dollars, for x days if you don't finish your task on time you don't get your money back. I don't even think you need to charge for it, since some people won't collect. Some people c

Bingo! This Great talk! Slight left turn on the topic, but I think people can lose some elasticity in their thinking when they try to be politically correct. Accessibility implies impairment, but that can give you a mental model of "bl

I think we are agreeing, and I don't mean to spin up the same debates. I'm just saying that as it is html presumes that the important content is the text and throws everything else over the fence. It implies that you are done with

I have the exact same issue. I find it much less semantic as well as less readable and maintainable to use abstract markup (i.e. div) everywhere. <div id="rant"> Presumably the goal is to create a strong separation between

Personally I like the fact that HN has a lot of verity. I can read it like a newspaper just like I used to do with /. and get exposed to a lot of things I wouldn't know to look for. I can search if I want to focus on something spe

Yep that's it. Less then half of the total people involved are made happy by this. However, one thing management should be more happy about is that usually the highest paid people are the nosiest. With a tool like this perhaps they can

This reminds me of the average salary tool. If you are not allowed, or it is bad form, to ask your peers' salaries you can create a list of people add a random number to your own salary give it to the first person on the list that pers

So you suppose that we don't (or shouldn't) put information on the internet that is the equivalent of someone photographing the inside of your house? That the internet, despite having password protected accounts is more akin to a

How about this: Would you consider it ok if the NSA asked someone who cleans your house to take pictures of everything in your house when you're not there, and send them to the NSA for storage? How about if the NSA promises not to open

Or another way to look at it is before no one knew or cared, but now some people do. Important people, with the technical capability to start fixing it.

Well either you trust the CA system or you don't. If you do then receiving a s/mime signature, that your OS thinks is valid because of the root certificates that it accepts, then you can trust it "transparently". If you

Right now if I send my Grandmother a signed email with s/mime she will see a little notice in her email client that says the message is signed and valid. If I send her an email with a PGP signature it will not. This is because just lik

Yeah, I know about that, and I'm not talking about intestinal fauna, but rather infectious disease. Nevertheless, it is similar logic to what I'm suggesting.

Exactly so. Maybe, maybe not during surgery (depending on how benign we're talking), but perhaps at the first sign of non-responsive infection. Stop the IV antibiotics, and start up the 'good' bacteria drip. This may of cours
