I imagine this could be dealt with by discarding the results when the consecutive clicks occur <5 seconds apart.

The writer doesn't justify his insistence that a Job Guarantee "IS NOT ‘MAKE-WORK’". It seems to me that if the primary purpose of a job is to provide work, then it is by definition make-work.

> who defines this criteria? is it always published? The ABP developers define and publish them here: https://adblockplus.org/en/acceptable-ads#criteria The "acceptable ads" whitelist is accessible here:

If Adblock Plus's users start noticing obtrusive ads, they will leave ABP and destroy all its power. That's a pretty clear incentive.

That's not my understanding of how it works. You cannot pay to get obtrusive or tracking ads on the whitelist. If you are a large company (how exactly that's defined isn't clear), you need to pay to get your unobtrusive ads w

ABP's free. Getting on the whitelist is also free for "all small- and medium websites and blogs". https://adblockplus.org/en/acceptable-ads-agreements If you're ok with blocking ads, I don't se

There's a setting in Adblock Plus that allows you to turn the "unintrusive ads" whitelist off. You don't need a separate add-on. I haven't felt the need to change the setting.

It does feel shady, but on the other hand I can't really argue with their logic: - ads are an important revenue stream on the web, so allow unintrusive/inoffensive ads by default - to do this, companies need to agree to keep all a

Surely if you're designing a 2-factor authentication system, a compromised password is the exact case you're designing for, not an edge case.

Seems to me that the development time spent maintaining two different modes might be better spent simply improving the efficiency of the one correct version.

1. More generally I'd say it's "minimise mutable state". 2. Almost all programs are necessarily stateful, but most of the code within them does not have to be. As such, all FP languages support working with state, e.g. S

Rather than forbidding those characters, you can go the facebook route and store multiple hashes for common typos. So if a user of your Polish website uses the password "huntyr2", you store that hash and also the hash of "hun

Presumably if you have a slower internet connection the performance cost of injecting stylesheets is offset by the reduction in how many images/flash banners/etc. you have to download.

Android already supports most of Java 7 http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-gui... I'm not aware of any plans to support Java 8 yet, but I haven't been looking.

Addendum to sidenote: the site also overrides Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn, which is highly frustrating.

"Message Authentication Code" is a lot easier to google for than MAC, and more meaningful in itself too. I found the list helpful.

Am I wrong to be turned off by the fact it uses MD5? Still far more secure than anything I could do in my head I suppose.

Exceptionally long passwords can be difficult to type accurately. Probably most on HN are good typists, but still I find entering long passwords error-prone and frustrating.

Was thinking about this as an alternative to existing password managers. The advantage is as you say your passwords aren't stored anywhere, even in encrypted form, and can be retrieved as long as you remember the master key and algorit

What do you need research for? If you don't test your code, how do you know it works, at all? Obviously you do test it, so why not have those tests written in code, so they can be repeated at any time and catch regressions? The benefit

Postulating "bias" in the hiring process does seem to imply that a non-deserving or less-qualified candidate was hired. Saying that being a non-white-male is itself a merit doesn't change that, and is also highly contentious.
