I think you're correct. The quotes in the article make more sense in the light of stolen cards being "concealed" in other magnetic strips which aren't credit cards. Many times, criminals illegally clone valid payment

You seem to be right -- other articles mention that the Time 2 has steel casing. I'm surprised they don't mention on the kickstarter page, it was a major selling point for me. Edit: Also interesting, the new Time 2 has an MSRP $50

I assume if you wait a few weeks, you'll see an announcement for the Steel versions of these.

Lately, it's mostly debugging. I rarely find debugging difficult (tedious at worst), and I like fixing real problems (vs building a new feature or component I don't see the reason behind) so that suits me just fine. Honestly, I&#x

Someday I sincerely hope to publish a game. When I read articles like this, though, I begin to realize just how little I understand about working on a project like that. I can't even begin to understand how they make all these systems

The Galaxy S4 had something like this, except no one (other than the Samsung apps) implemented the functionality to make use of it. In the end, all I can remember of it was that you could wave over the top of the screen to change home scree

If you're wondering whether or not to take this with a grain of salt, please note the author has a section of his blog devoted to explaining why javascript is apparently bad. https://medium.com/javascript-non-grata

I edited it in; my apologies. SECRET was SEKRET, which apparently means "secretion" in German. Ultimately this doesn't answer the question of why is it named this way.

I had the same question, and without actually cloning the repo I wish I had a better answer. I found, looking through the tags, that src/React.js was added in 0.14-stable, then I examined the history of React.js to find this commit: h

The first two lines of the article are that you currently don't pay any, and with something that recently passed you'll never have to worry about it.

AMP is just a subset of HTML/JS/CSS, but there is also an AMP CDN and the implication that you agree to allow your content to be cached by third parties. I think this means that the agreement concerning the AMP CDN says you don&#x

It really is just another social medium. We used to have ICQ, AIM, MSN, YIM, and a host of other lesser known methods to chat. This is just one geared toward sending quick pictures. I doubt the privacy part of it is even significant to most

From the review: > I directly analyzed the Surjtech cable using a Type-C breakout board and a multimeter, and it appears that they completely miswired the cable. The GND pin on the Type-A plug is tied to the Vbus pins on the Type-C plug.

The article is about optimizing the delivery of the CSS content, not about making it clear or concise or anything else. So, the point of the example then is to optimize for the content that is delivered directly on the page. Note that the o
