Credit card transactions only appear to be reversible to the end user. If someone nicks your credit card and buys some gas, it may appear to you that the money just came back but someone in the chain (usually the gas station) is eating th

I don't think the referer info is ever really essential but here are some possibilities: 1) If you came from a social media site, maybe I'd highlight that particular social sharing option in a share bar, or hide others. 2) In an e-commerce

Do we even have a clear boundary of where the solar system ends? From what I gather as a layman, the answer to this is no, which in turn answers why Voyager has "left" numerous times. From the bit I've read Voyager has already forced some

The S4 launch, as horribly cheesy as it was, definitely broke this mold. They spent about 20 minutes showing off features with a group of 6 actresses playing out a bacholerette party, and 5 minutes with some 8 year old tap dancing. It was a

You don't have to host the email yourself. Just grab your own domain, set up a free gmail account, and forward all the email from your domain to the gmail account. Configure gmail to always send replies as from you@yourdomain.com. What this

While I've switched to a box with ample RAM so that this isn't really a concern any more, my old habit was to open up the Chrome task manager, and just kill any tab that I was just holding in place to read later. All the RAM gets freed up,

That's not a bad starting point for a minimal definition. Would you also include things like slavery and child labor?

But for some reason, perhaps a legacy of the Puritan ethos that hard work will produce deserved prosperity, Americans have always felt like their net worth is a measure of their worth as individuals. Problems related to real and perceived

It seems tricky to me to define what "at the expense of others" means. I can see some people saying pretty much any private gain is that the expense of others because others could have had it. On the opposite end of the spectrum I can see s

To elaborate on the response others have offered about everything being in one folder, I'll further note that it allows you to keep track of the plugin through git, so you can very easily grab updates when desired.

We have two use cases I'm currently looking at ACH solutions for. For the first, judging by past experience in our target market, we would probably average around $250 per transaction, with most being regular recurring transactions. The oth

If you do "copy large bits of code from the main codebase" this is moot, but I've wondered about the other point. If I don't copy any bits, I'm not really sure why my PHP code would necessarily fall under the GPL. What if I made NotGPLPress

Listening to It Ain't Hard to Tell and Thrift Shop I can unequivocally hear a difference in the style and flow, where I could understand why you'd say Nas has more talent as a rapper. However, I find the Macklemore song more enjoyable p

So, loyalty to the people is ok. The relationship with a business is governed by contracts and little more. Agreed. In the 20s you took care of "the business" that takes care of you. Nowadays, you attend to "the career" that takes care of

I think the goal might not be to make a bacteria that's easier to kill, but one that's less likely to kill us. There's generally a strong evolutionary pressure not to be fatal for your host.

I would definitely consider capping the pricing structure. Something like 2% of the first $10k transasctions, and 0.5% thereafter. That or just have an introductory tier that's based on % of transactions, and higher level tiers that are mon

It's more work, but you can convince the upstream provider that their customer's pain is actually causing them pain. I would try to find a larger complex to use as a case study. Set everything up for free for them, and check their retention

The nice thing about T-mobile is that they will actually give you a monthly discount if you don't take a subsidy. So you can just pass on the weak subsidy, and save ~$10/mo with the no contract plan.

Isn't the hostname encrypted as well? My understanding was that's the reason you have to have a unique IP for SSL and can't rely on a vhost setup.

That's a reasonable excuse for nationwide mobile services. I don't think it explains why the infrastructure cost would be very different for cable and internet in major US cities.
