Issuing banks don’t have to fail a transaction just because the card is expired anyway, so this isn’t actually a guaranteed way to end the charges anyway. Of course issuing banks may even approve charges on a closed account too. In other wo

Any overhead is generally considered irrelevant when you’re on a small database. For example, going from 50GB in a table to 75GB is 50% overhead, but easily handled in a time where you just pay for more GB on RDS. That doesn’t hold true whe

What if the fever is actually the body’s way of killing the infection? You’re saying it’s scary that someone would want to prioritize recovery from the root cause rather than prolonging the root cause in favor of relief of mild symptoms? Th

It’s not that they don’t auto adjust. It’s that they’re physically incapable of the range of light intensity we encounter in a normal day. For example, full afternoon sunlight is something like 150,000 lux, but normal house lighting is ~200

My understanding was that there is compelling evidence for topical application (e.g. how the dentist applies it as well as toothpaste) but not much evidence for water supply. Do you have a link to the research you mention?

No, Visa Checkout is a confusingly named product that only serves to send credit card data to a merchant’s servers. The card data isn’t even kept safe by a intermediate token; the merchant has to run a PCI compliant solution. That’s very di

There is a real issue, yes, but it’s heavily lessened by using sane scheme design, while Uber basically used the worst possible design.

The other thing here they downplay in the article is that they didn’t switch to MySQL per se; they implemented a columnar storage backend within MySQL. It’d have been more accurate to say they abandoned traditional relational databases enti

What they do is tell people that if they don’t admit to a lesser crime and accept its punishment they’ll be charged with a greater crime that carries a mandatory minimum sentence of a much longer period of time. Given that innocence or guil

As long as the expression being hashed doesn't change then yes you could make the expression a hashing function call. If the expression being hashed is mutable there would be issues since the feature doesn't currently support upda

The fundamental issue here is that you'd actually have to move the rows between relations given that Postgres maintains separate storage etc. for each. There's no good way to do that.

Which is why Facebook replaced MySpace and Google replaced Yahoo and Altavista and so on. The idea that economies of scale make it impossible for a company to never face competition is ridiculous. The only thing that can do that is govenmen

Actually it's probably more secure than the vast majority of frameworks. And certainly it's more secure by default than most web apps. Have you looked into how many PHP apps still suffer from obvious SQL injection attacks?

Not necessarily. Sync--particularly sync which can involve changes at the same time by different devices--is hard. A lot of devs just don't want to fully implement the required mechanisms.
