Pretty cool. I love the competition in the payments space right now. My bet is that Braintree is seeing some serious competition from Stripe and others. One thing to keep in mind is that 2.9% + 30cents is relatively high. If you go to Autho

I think the idea of focusing multiple low power radios onto a single point so that they coalesce is simply being rediscovered. While we could do this before the real ingenuity is being able to rapidly update all the parameters when the poin

The author of this article feels that he would be happy to see T-Mobile die trying. I personally have nothing but respect for T-Mobile. It is hard to change fundamental things such as pricing when you are such a large corporation. Doubly ha

How do you not notice this? Maybe a lot of SSL interception is done with self signed certs and not ones that are signed by a valid CA?

Maybe it is the writing style but I find the author self entitled. If you take a job and it turns out it isn't what it seems you don't resolve anything by just walking out. Being impulsive rarely gets you anywhere. That said I

Anyone explain what "splitting a driver" in kernel parlance and code sharing is? Modularization is just breaking large pieces of the program up into small pieces right? Is code sharing just the same thing or are they talking about

Can anyone give a quick rundown of the different init systems? For the most part it can get confusing for a non day to day system administrator when I am trying to get a program to "run on boot". Between rc.local, init.d, run leve

A bunch of you guys complaining about how BizSpark sucks...have any of you actually USED BizSpark and their free Azure offering? I've used it for a Windows server just to get stuff up and running that may not run on Linux. I've do

This is fundamentally great news. Insurance is a great hedge against risk. In this case a bitcoin "bank" believes it can reduce the risk of someone stealing all the deposited bitcoins and running off with them. Llyod's has a

Can they look stuff up on the internet? A lot of queries require some ridiculous syntax like windowing in Postgres.

While I'm not exactly a fan of Oracle I wouldn't dismiss them so easily. Due to business reasons there are lots of applications that companies would rather not put outside their own network. Some that come to mind include HR, payr

In the payment industry there is the concept of PCI-DSS. It is basically a set of requirements regarding the handling of sensitive data. While a lot of it is just common sense some of it should be applied to any sensitive data that you are

It's surprising how transparent Kima is. The terms are reasonable and it's not like you have to take the money. Speed is a huge deal as well...knowing whether you can close or not can mean spending another 1-2 months working on yo

Rule #1 - Don't be an asshole. You found a vulnerability in lots of sites so you contacted the vendor who was responsible for it. Cool. They replied and said they would fix it. Going around and e-mailing their customers is kinda odd. S
