That will have to be addressed by the Chrome permissions dialog ... Agreed though, I think it would be wise to make the user type-in their CVC or something before transmitting the payment info.

What surprised me the most from Paul Graham's Yahoo article was he was "sitting in my cubicle". I don't see how you could make someone a millionaire, and then put them in a cubicle, and expect them to stick around.

Personally, I'd use whatever built in function exists without giving it a second thought. Until it shows up as a hot spot in the profiler I don't care about performance.

Yeah, this is useful. You can generate the URI in a click handler as well, so if you need to do some last minute assembly it still seems to work like a regular download link.

I guess that by "Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies" this discussion has officially run its course :P. I think I agree with the major implications of what you are saying: bitcoin hasn't demonstrably withstood nation-state levels of attack effor

Yeah. My estimate of the total amount invested in pre-ASIC hardware is 60 million, not counting power. The key questions to predict ASIC mining profitability is: - how much will be invested in ASIC hardware - future prices of bitcoin - how

Call it economically improbable. Right now you could maybe get 51% with a 10-20 million dollar investement in ASICs. If you took control of the network and started forging transactions, bitcoin would no longer be useful and all those coin

Avalon prices their hardware in bitcoins, so the higher the exchange rate the higher the price: http://launch.avalon-asics.com/ .

I don't have a whole lot of Haskell experience ... but these "Maybe" unwrapping functions are rare right? Like a null check I'd think that most of the time you make the check when you get the unreliable input or allocation or whatever, and

It was about a year ago when their customer service portal was breached that I mentally moved Linode off my list of VPS with a "good" reputation ( http://status.linode.com/2012/03/manager-security-incident.h... ). Still, people seem surpris

That's not the behaviour I'm seeing on my machine. ( http://codepad.org/rlLuB5VF ) ... but, if you subtract zero from zero the sign depends on the order: http://codepad.org/g9LzZWPd .

What are the alternatives though? (to powerpoint) I love chalk and talk but it puts a lot of load on the speaker. My Electricity and Magnetism professor basically pushed it to the limit I think. He had a carefully cultivated temper that wa

Given that Facebook listed "Mobile" as a major risk to their future [1], this seems like a proportionate response. It seems like every tech giant wants the be at the top of the heap, to control software that is as close to the user as possi

Something else that Marco didn't dwell on is the diversity of stuff that you can basically just plug into your rss reader if you want notification. A website may choose to use it to publish anything they wish. Misc. examples: 1. Following a

The question equates to "spot the undefined behaviour in this statement" which I think is a legitimate question for assessing knowledge of a language like C++, and to use as a starting point to find out if they understand the difference bet

Also, there is the conceptual model of how an x86 computer works, and then how it actually works is another thing, for example I think the Sandy Bridge architecture has 160 physical integer registers, if I'm interpreting this correctly: ht

A bitcoin wallet can be stored offline, so if you want long terms storage you stick the bits in your vault right next to your gold. With a card punch and some gold plate you could store the bitcoin wallet in gold and the protect the gold

It can be done but it isn't pretty. My first resort when someone deletes their blog or whatever thing that was meaningful to me that I foolishly failed to mirror, is to go to archive.org and see if they have a good mirror. If they don't but

I've been thinking along the same lines. To begin I'd like to just mirror everything on a VPS (email, rss, calendars, dropbox, music library, youtube playlists, bookmarks (for me: pinboard)) on the VPS. Then I'd have cobble together whatev

I have heard a similar story from an HR consultant, minus the whole "criminal" element. It far less likely at a public company but think of something like a call center or factory, a smallish business, ~30-100 employees, where the owner has
