What if you try to solve for the case where you yourself are not around anymore? (Might take payments off the table as well, or at least have 10-year plans or something :-))

So what happens when your master password gets exposed? You get to go to every single site and change your password? How do you even know which sites you have accounts? I think I'll stick with 1Password and completely random passwords. F.ex

I used this in the past as well. But then started thinking about what non-critical is. As a "internet professional", even my Facebook account being compromised would be negative impact on my image; on LinkedIN doubly so due to it's professi

Does anyone know if this improves error reporting at all? That one major pain I've had dealing with Hadoop: something goes wrong, you get some super obscure error message and consequently you'll end up doing a major binary search to find ou

Another site that takes IP address to force the language, even after chaning it back to .com. Sigh.

Thanks for the tip, will try that. It feels so weird because I rely on Google Translate a lot. All from the same company :) EDIT: Just tried it. It still feels weird. I'm in italy right now, and Google leads me to "Google Italia", but then

And then there is Google's insistance of showing their interfaces in the languages that happen to be your outward-facing IP address. Sigh. (For search, hitting up https solves this, but G+ keeps switching languages on me.)

If you order the columns then by %-populated then the really sparse columns (exceptions) would by nicely out of the way, too.

My phone behaviour is the same as yours (<30 min call time/month; lots of data usage). I see your point. My opinion is slightly different: turn off data connection and I'll leave my phone home; turn off voice and I'll happily tote the p

"Also, the main purpose of a mobile network is to be able to make calls." That is debatable, and up to your customers :-)

Now if these MITM attacks became a bit more clever, it would be very hard to catch: rather than what they are doing now (and making everyone aware of the fact that they MITM), they could as easily change the Google AdSense Client ID's, or t

Very happy the author wrote this up in a succinct way, posting the configuration files and all. Other comments point out that there can be a lot of other circumstances in which these results are not indicative (network time, large files, et

I think the latter summary should read: "if determining the 'lemon-ness' of a product has a high cost, it lowers the drive for finding more non-lemons and increases both the price and tenure of the existing ones" (Not sure if that makes sen

I feel the deprecation of copyrights must come to pass (pure speculation). Have bought into that notion some time ago. It did make me wonder how did we end up in this situation in the first place? I mean, having the copyright laws in place

If the first point just happens on HN, that wouldn't preclude the second and third point, right? So -- possibly superfluous, yes. (EU person myself)

Man, I've been searching for this (but I live in Europe, so across country borders, there is no hope unfortunately). Instead what USPS could do is actually scan all this stuff and email me a PDF. 80% of the snail mail I receive I don't need

Maybe not entirely on topic, but after some googling I could not find this: what is the easiest way to have this interface (or Google Maps, etc) towards a huge picture (so not maps/GIS). A gigantic panorama picture so that the end user can

Complexity is the root of all evil. There's been some publications [1] that compare revenue per employee which sometimes is interesting. For technologists, it might actually be interesting to see LOC per User. Hyves seems to run at 1/3rd of

Willem, how much of the performance improvement was related to Smarty templates being compiled to C++ vs. the application itself?

I needed to do this a few months ago, this could have been really helpful. What I did instead, was export one Gmail contact to CSV, import that into Google Docs Spreadsheet, then create a form there that people can fill out (with just the f
