You're doing real-time payments?? My unanswered questions about no-NSF/guaranteed funds are even more pertinent then... It sounds like you've either got some ridiculously good creditworthiness detection, or you're glossi

I hate to burst your bubble or anything, but dwolla.com does this pretty well and cheaply. How will you differentiate? I don't quite follow the "no NSFs and funds are guaranteed" - are you implying that if the transaction is

I find it amusing that they used an Apple keyboard... Then again the chiclet style keys seem to be a big factor in the build.

Bare NF is number of fields, so the $ must be pulling the value first. Also, awk is 1-based, not 0, so you get the last field :)

I'm not sure I've ever seen tax prep software where you couldn't print out the return and mail it in yourself - wouldn't that address your "blind faith" and accuracy arguments? Presumably they're building

I shot you an email. Definitely interested in "fixing" tax prep... It's pretty sad how obtuse they make things and how often tax prep software nickel and dimes you even though the actual computational aspects of filling in th

That section seems to only be about Google's IP, so it's not assigning anything about UniPro I think? That said, the link you gave seems to say it's not necessary for this application: > Royalty-free licensing conditions a

Interesting they're doing a lottery for registration. I'm sure it'll reduce server load though. Also, I love the binary countdown at the bottom of the page.

I've had this exact same experience 3 times in the past year. I echo your thoughts entirely. I've told them multiple times what kind of position at google would ACTUALLY interest me and yet I still get matched to nothing even clos

I think the problem has more to do with students' motivation than the PhD itself. In fact most of the grad students I've talked to in various stages have no real plan for AFTER completing the degree. So they in turn have no motiva

I'd certainly be interested in knowing what the heck "select features" might be, and what exactly I can do with a development license for GH products... but it's really hard to see whats in it for me with such an uninfor

I tried it for approximately 6 months (a few years ago). I translated some slow python into fairly idiomatic (IMHO) erlang and got some pretty significant speedups. I had vary little functional programming experience before that, so my comm

Maybe it's just me, but do many people have long, meaningful conversations with their loved ones over email and/or social media inboxes? Maybe I'm an old fart or something, but I don't see it. I've been on Facebook

Great to hear, Thanks! I'm really interested in this for an upcoming project, so I'm just trying to understand the implications of some of these design decisions.

Presumably any attacker only cares about the encrypted data, not the user's credentials. The data is encrypted with a single data-key - so the attack would focus on cracking that key. The attacker knows that identical processes are use

I'm not a crypto researcher in any way, but if someone had access to the vault, wouldn't the fact that there are multiple stored (encrypted) representations of the same data encryption key present an attack point? This image for e

Even cheaper solution: $15 at Home Depot gets you 4'x8' showerboard. Which you can write on with dry erase markers. You have to be a little more meticulous about cleaning than a true white board, but it is definitely cheap. Ex: h

I started out on the many contract working portals, got a few really crappy jobs to get some ratings in my profile and keep increasing my rate. I kept everything at arms length until I found people I didn't mind working with for longer

It looks like a great tool, but like others have mentioned, I just can't justify a $50 price point in my head. I don't really "need" a new app to update my issue tracker, I've already got the browser open which I&#x

Wow. I would absolutely love this setup. Where/how did you find that guy? I've been consulting for a while as well, I hate dealing with all the negotiations and legal crap. Would be great to just be handed a reasonable contract

The few screenshots are blurred out, so I have no idea if it supports my workflow. I'm not going to sign up without more info. Replace that carousel with a video demoing the features and it'd be a lot more helpful.

How many colors would I need to replace? We talking 10 minutes or a couple hours? I'll probably buy just cause I've been looking for something like this, but I'd like the path of least resistance. Great Product, Thanks.
