They also both seem to have an almost religious belief that anything that isn't Apple is an affront to humanity, especially if it starts with a capital G. That's kinda specific.

Planning on a very specific other company wanting to buy you out isn't actually a business model. A business model is something that will keep the business self-propelled.

Google abandon javascript? You're joking, right?

The other thing that is different is that the subtle borders around city blocks and things like that are gone. Those borders help increase contrast, making things easier to distinguish.

There's no reason PayPal has to build a vanilla bitcoin wallet interface. It's true that you cannot simply deduct a certain percentage from a direct bitcoin transaction. However, they could pool your coins in their own controlled address,

A lot of what keeps regular Joes away from bitcoin is its complexity and the difficulty of keeping your funds secure. If PayPal were to make the most secure, easiest-to-use bitcoin wallet, they could profit greatly from it and also provide

Can you elaborate? There is a Google Now widget on Android, I have it on my home screen right now. Do you mean something else? What do you mean by Google Now "launcher"? Something besides swiping up from the bottom of the screen?

I can get behind your first paragraph, which is basically just saying that as a consumer you like to support variety and a dynamic market by using services from multiple providers. If that's you're goal, that's a reasonable enough justifica

I still think this is all ridiculous. Stopping support for a product that uses a certain standard doesn't mean you're against that standard, unless you're a conspiracy theorist. You can argue that they're against certain open standards if

This is strange to me. It was just 3 sentences, and you were the one who asked them for a response.

I don't understand. Is this spam? There is no context or accompanying article for the claim. I searched my name and the results weren't nearly as good. One data point, sure, but first impression is everything. Edit for context: original

Earlier this week it only took me less than a business day to add a custom chat window to my site using Firebase. You might consider checking that out. It was a global chat, not one with friend lists and private messaging, but the API is p

What's funny about this site is that we all love personal surveillance when it helps us do things like bust animal abusers or discover dirty government secrets, but when people are publicly carrying their recording devices, we all feel unco

Yeah, not a privacy violation it seems. I didn't know that. For me, it was just unexpected and weird to experience.

by ok_craig 14y ago
I guess they are, it just wasn't something I expected to learn at that time in that way. So I guess it isn't really a big privacy issue, just a strange experience. I would have been more comfortable with it if it had been part of the origi

The other day I was trying to make some kind of transaction with Dwolla, and before I could, they asked me a series of questions to verify my identity. The questions had obviously been pulled from a background check based on my name that I

So where does energy from wind hitting a building or a car go? It just dissipates into the ground?

Pausing Tetris to avoid losing was hilarious.

by ok_craig 14y ago
I'm pretty naive on the science of these things, but I have a concern: is there any possibility that increasing use of wind energy could have negative affects on the environment by essentially taking energy out of our atmosphere? Could our

Are there any sources you know of that discuss what kinds of problems can be solved faster with quantum computing? I'm curious about them.

by ok_craig 14y ago
Being a closed system doesn't solve this problem, because the problem is already solved by simply choosing not to install the app. A closed system prevents you from making changes that you would actually like to, so it's strictly worse.

Funny how when Opera deprecates its engine in favor of WebKit we all make a big deal about how it's bad for everyone. But when Google spins off their own version, we vilify them too... For real?

All I'm saying is that right now, while it's being adopted, growth and volatility are the same thing. Sentiments along the lines of: "For bitcoin to be adopted, it should be stable first" don't make sense, because adoption (demand) drives t
