By 3 letter pin, do you mean the CVC code? Many merchants require the CVC code to protect themselves against fraud/chargebacks and because they can get lower processing fees, but strictly speaking, it's not necessary to make a tra

Yep - IIRC, in-app purchases only apply if the purchase itself is delivered through the app (usually content) This is how apps like Uber, Lyft, InstantCab, Instacart, etc. let you pay through your phone, and why Netflix and Hulu don't

Any suggestions or feedback appreciated! This was my first major foray into doing the design and CSS work, so things may be a little rough there.

Celebrities and big brands already have the audience and distribution network to spread the word about their campaign, so it would seem that advantages of discovery through the Kickstarter community would be comparatively minimal compared t

Thanks for the feedback! You're absolutely right about the family role dropdown. We put it there as a temporary fix while we built a more comprehensive "family tree" feature, and we'll be replacing it shortly so you can more accurately repr

It's possible, but the most obvious obstacle is HIPAA compliancy. Check out AWS's whitepaper [1] and some discussion [2]. [1] http://d36cz9buwru1tt.cloudfront.net/AWS_HIPAA_Whitepaper_Fi... [2] http://healthcareit.stackexchange.com/questio

You're completely right, and my apologies. We're not quite ready to take on more users at the moment - to clarify, the signup on the homepage doesn't give us access to your account, it simply registers your interest. We've been hard at work

Congrats to Fluent! Great design and a slick UI. The stream view is an interesting concept, but we've found that many people don't have a nice inbox of messages as shown in the preview. In fact, it's quite the opposite: messages from friend

"AP level physics course in electricity and magnetism" is referring to AP Physics C. Generally corresponds to the second semester of freshman physics: it covers electricity and magnetism fairly in depth but you won't see any circuit design,

My recommendation is "Concrete Mathematics", by Graham, Knuth, and Patashnik. ( http://www.amazon.com/Concrete-Mathematics-Foundation-Comput... ) It is excellently written, but by no means a light read. If you put in the time and effort, yo

Baudehlo is correct. Gmail provides a SASL extension called XOAuth that allows you to authenticate IMAP/SMTP with OAuth tokens.

Sorry if that was unclear. The original comment stated that using per capita in this manner would be "inaccurate", but you can't compare Manhattan and Brooklyn simply by comparing the total number. What I was trying to explain in response w

100 doesn't represent a physical number. It's just an indication of the relative frequencies. If, for example, Manhattan had typically two fixies for sale per person (this is completely made up), then Brooklyn would have 1.25. Yes, per capi

It should, but it's only an exact url check. Looks like the other submission links directly to the html file, while this one just goes to the parent directory.

They seem to be targeting similar markets to Makerbot, Ultimaker, Shapercube, etc. (complete kits for those who don't want to source parts but are still pretty DIY), but I don't really see any competitive advantage versus those existing pla

It might be easier to take 229 (Machine Learning) after 221 (this class), since 221 is intended to be a lead-in. and less mathematically rigorous. It's still definitely worth a look but may be hard to understand without a background in algo

A friend of mine tried to do a statistics project on the algorithm. Made the interesting discovery that the blocks are randomized within 7-piece sets, with the system going through each different tetramino before repeating any one.

If you can find a parkour gym like Primal Fitness [1] or Tempest Freerunning [2], that's the best option. They're not in a ton of areas, but if you can find a gymnastics gym to take a class, many moves and techniques will overlap. Otherwise

How many in total applied? I would expect the 20 Under 20 Fellowship to be much more self-selecting in terms of those who applied or those who even know it exists.

The minimal CD is the same as the netinstall, and only installs the base (command line) system. There's also an alternate CD for text-based install - with the option to do a minimal system - but by default, it installs the full system (Gnom
