It doesn't work well. Reads out Javascript and side text/ads on websites.

Is anyone seeing apps that are closed using location now on 7.1?

The one thing Amtrak needs to be focusing on now is fixing their terrible ancient, expensive trains.

Actually, Stripe's market is smaller than Square's. But these business models will never capture a large percentage of their respective markets anyway due to the high rates (negotiating with an acquirer can get you almost 50% less

Square is tackling different type of merchants. It's not quite this that is keeping Square from an IPO; but they messed up in a few ways along with Chase (their merchant acquirer) releasing the same product undercutting the Square marg

What's shameful is disregarding "this kind of stuff" on certain forums, making it acceptable in public discourse. It's like asking the civil rights movement or SA's AAM to shut up in certain places. Anyway, this is

This sounds utopian but not practical; a typical dev-only mistakes with poor business perspective. How else will they make money? Making money is the most important thing, and without it, none of this would have existed.

I'd highly encourage you to look up IQ-wealth correlation studies, and other intelligence experiments. In any case, none of this is proven yet so as far as we know, DNA alone is not a recipe of success. If it was, then us Arabs would h

Don't let this irritate you. Arrogant, douchy HN comments are not worth stressing over.

You know how difficult it is to remove "religion" (using it as a general term; so nationalism is a part of) from humans? Very difficult. It's part of our biology. Although thousands of years ago it was crucial for our surviva

As an Arab, I agree. He might be Arab by DNA, but definitely not by culture. We all know that DNA and genes mean nothing for success. Jobs succeeded as a result of his environment, and not where his DNA roots trace back to.

People living in Syria 3,000 years ago were not Arabs. People living in Syria today, are Arabs. Who is an Arab? Well, one that speaks Arabic and living in an Arab country. You want to get into DNA? I'm Palestinian, born in Jordan and n

Isn't this a wake up call that PayPal juts sucks?

Putting ads on the users timeline pages may not decrease fraud. The fraud issue is not where you put the ad at.

Interesting. When I came to college here in the US (CS, engineering department), I was rather shocked that most, if not all, engineering students came in with zero calculus or advanced physics.

The assumption that's explaining why high schools in America SUCK: "freshman calculus course". In my school and country, we take calculus 1 & 2 in grade 11; that's two years before we go to college. In grade 12, we t

Can a team of 24 people fix PayPal? No.

It's not about quality of products. See the other reply. Without ads, there will be no Facebook or Twitter. The issue with fraud is a very serious and difficult one that creeps into many industries, and ends up sucking the life out of

Twitter ads are pretty much the same. Never pay for ads for Twitter and Facebook. More than 98% of what you pay for goes to fraud followers.

I did exactly that but my SHA-1 (in Ruby) is ending up different than Git's. Even weirder, when I take the header + body, and use an online SHA-1, I get a third and different value! (Not equal to git-hash-object nor to mine in Ruby). I

If you use Emacs in the terminal, almost none of this applies as they are there by standard.

by nayefc 13y ago
That's what I suspected. So essentially, mimic that git command in bash without calling the git command (including the header stuff)?

by nayefc 13y ago
How would you optimise internal git commands or a loop that will still need to brute-force either way?

Just HN passive aggressive behaviour.
