Filters are not the panacea for this problem. I could filter by application, but that does not mean all input from an application are meaningless. The automated stuff is what everyone wants to filter, but there are apps where that could be

Can anyone provide a resource for how these types of valuations are actually thought of? I assume it's a per user calculation but how is a per-user value found?

Do Not Target would then be equivalent to security cameras, so I see that is the ultimate outcome. You cannot viably eliminate tracking via Do Not Track... the entire modern Internet is based on the concept of tracking.

Can anyone shed light onto the type of machanisms that would go into making a real-time code executor like we see here?

This should be quite interesting. I've had much respect for 10gen since I've seen them speak at a few conferences and have generally been out and about getting the word out about Mongo. I wonder if they are just going to strengthen their ex

Developers really do complain a lot, don't they? PHP offers unparalleled flexibility if you have any notion whatsoever of how to properly develop things. Those who think otherwise are most likely stalwart proponents of some other language,

Did your institution go the seldom traveled route of encrypting sensitive information? Typically all the effort is spent trying to avoid breaches instead of protecting against them when they occur.

I would tend to think financial/banking/<insert would-be secure application here> would be insecure no matter what data store they use. It seems to just be part of the game - ask anyone that's developed for one. One would assume tha

This was a terrible attempt at a joke - it wasn't even given much thought or effort at all. Yet this garbage video makes it to page one on hacker news? Pathetic.

Any indication how one interacts with the device aside from voice and the button for camera? Eye movement?

Does spending most of your time in a Putty terminal using vim count as Windows or Linux?

You have to give your brain a break. That doesn't necessarily mean doing nothing but it can be doing something more along the lines of a hobby - such as creating music, doing graphics, gardening etc... One of the most common overlooked thin

What exactly do people do with this data, specifically for sites like hackernews? I don't think I've ever particularly cared about my own comments. Without context they are pretty much useless anyway.

Fair point, but like I said, if everyone works in bubbles they will all have to deal with this over and over again in different ways. Since these game companies are not actually doing anything for the platform itself, like sharing their lib

If only people spent as much time working on a decent platform like Andengine (which works on most devices with little effort) instead of porting ios code and ending up with apps that only work on devices they were tested on (or complained

What the hell are you talking about? Aside from admob integration on games that developers add themselves, what ads are you seeing on the platform outside of websites?

Most people will never even know what the hell you are talking about with the word "Bootstrap", so just because we can recognize these things as developers/designers does not mean it has any influence whatsoever on your users. I'd much rath

Anyone know if the apps will work on the Google TV? If so this is a lot more compelling. I'm assuming a pure Google Reader would be the next logical hardware step, in which case Google is ramping up to become a bigger threat to Amazon, whic

I do not agree with the sentiment that it's only an innate ability. I was completely ignorant of most algorithms until I actually set out to increase my knowledge of them. Once you start each one becomes easier to grasp and you can then thi

And they cannot do this without the prefix?

by methodin 15y ago
What's the reason they even have to add a prefix? If all we end up doing is prefix the feature with 4 different ones, and then the actual feature name in case all else fail, it's pretty pointless. The browser should just implement the featu

I never thought I'd actually agree with Facebook, and even most other instances of this censorship - but I do. These companies have every right to do whatever they want because it is theirs - not yours. You choose to give up those rights by

Have you actually ever been a consumer of an extensive, pure REST API? At the point in time in which you are required to make a couple hundred requests in a single page in order to build something useful you'll start to wonder why it's tout

I don't quite understand the constant articles about someone who is thumbing their nose at the "other idiots" who don't care about privacy. Is it not common knowledge that even if you never set foot online your private information has long

I believe I had two ah-hah moments about vim when reading this article. I love those moments! How I never knew about ]p is beyond me! I guess I should assume that something I'm doing that is annoying means I'm doing it the wrong way.

I wonder how being bought out, which is surely a far greater occurence in the online world than the offline world, plays into this idea? If you consider that perhaps the major players have bought between 10 and 30 other companies then the o

Reiterates the fact that the more you realize you are a terrible programmer, the better you are. Very awesome of someone with his stature to flat out admit the fact that he has flaws. Kudos!
