I find it easy to believe that social networks aimed at children/adolescents are the equivalent of boy bands rather than record labels.

It's been a long time since I read any of Asimov's work... but didn't the stories conclude that the Three Laws were ultimately both unworkable and inadequate? I remember a zeroth law being added in (a robot must act in the general interests

Re whitespace being significant: you can use explicit braces and semicolons instead, certainly with let and do-notation.

The database containing everybody's PINs will be stolen. Even if you use 8 digit PINs and they are properly hashed, they will get brute-forced rather quickly. Any longer and people will not be able to remember their PINs or will use the s

Slashdot had karma before Reddit/HN. Don't know if they were the first or whether they copied it from another site.

Where are you trying to get to? Why is the choice between C# and Javascript? (Other programming languages are available, as the BBC would say.)

From the name, I thought it was for reindenting json. Although I'm not au fait with json jargon.

My first thought for why someone would want to defeat screenshotting was banks trying to make their websites more secure. I confess I can't quite see how this technique would help their use case.

If you flesh out this analysis it could make for a good series of blog posts.

Are you implying that any of these edits are malicious or self-serving? And that they are sanctioned by Apple (as opposed to, say, being made by employees during their lunch break)? I don't understand your motivation for thinking these page

If passwords are dead in part because people use the same passwords for different sites, and because password databases keep getting leaked... why would we replace them with biometrics? People will use the same biometrics for different site

Of which four start `X-`, suggesting they are unstandardised and not supported by all browsers... but browser support is not mentioned for these four (and barely mentioned for the other three).

I'm going to ignore the issue of the extra costs this imposes on the startup, and ask: what proportion of the target market are actually interested in self-hosting? The people you (or anyone else) interact with online are not representative

If that definition includes iphone, it also includes xbox and the ds lite. (You could perhaps limit it to devices on which you could run a web browser. I remember there was a version of Opera that ran on the ds, though I didn't get it mysel

I would not like that to crash anywhere, even if the shielding problem could be solved. Might be more effective to use the nuclear power to power carbon capture on the ground.

Option 3/e: it's idiomatic in C-syntax languages to use if/then/else when you do not care about the return value. Use of ?: therefore implies that you do care about the value of the expression. When I see the result of ?: being thrown away,

As you describe it, it would not be resurrection. Resurrection to me implies that the new being would have my memories and personality, but your propose something more like a delayed identical twin: identical in genes only.

Your text implies there are seven options (a-g) but there are only five options in the poll. The fourth option has different behaviour from the first three options should lockBtn.show() return false. Is this what you want? I would expect a

Do you mean that you want your sim card to live in your wristwatch, and then your phone/tablet/laptop to access the wider world via your wristwatch using wifi/bluetooth/whatever? My uninformed opinion is that I'd worry about battery life (b

Terrible headline. GS says MS has 20% of the computer OS market. (Google Android 42%, Apple 24%, others 14%.) That's counting PCs, phones, and tablets. Presumably not counting embedded devices. Not clear whether it's counting servers. (Are
