TLDR: the article discusses a geothermal heat sink, instead of the typical evaporative heat sink.

My understanding is that French (and presumably other European) banks assigned the liability for fraud to the account holder, whereas in the US, liability for fraudulent credit card charges falls to the banks and the credit card processing

Yeah exactly -- if git knew about a milestone point, then "git bisect" could tie into it. That in and of itself would be fantastic.

I'm with you. History is mostly useful after the fact to understand the details, not the big picture. I wish git had a first-class model of a milestone-ish block of commits, so that the detailed commits and the feature milestones are d

There's no liquid market for Uber shares. The article further states that Uber has taken measures to prevent a secondary market from developing. I wonder what those measures are. I imagine it's straightforward to prevent someone w

Yes; options often expire 10 years after issuance.

Yes, and the math early in the article doesn't account for dilution. But those numbers are still colossal, even when reduced by an order of magnitude or two.

This is a scary precedent. From the bits I've seen of it, the Vulnerabilities Equities Process is a really great bit of government transparency, run by a group of people who understand that the best interests of different parts of the

My point is that the author is advocating collecting statistics in a way that equates gang shootouts and backfiring cars as equal incidents of gun violence. You've identified a problem with using human reports as a means to measure t

I don't know if I would call that the opposite of cinema, but it's certainly a huge difference. I wonder what this would mwan mean for all the actors who prefer stage to film. Would they shoot up in demand? What would that mean f

Feature request: I understand your goal of visual tooling, but it'd be neat if I could turn on a mode in which the css for a given operation showed up in the tooltip, instead of english descriptions.

I love the tool itself... have you guys thought about some way to integrate it into Chrome or FF as a development / debugging tool?

Uber likely doesn't have social network data on their riders Uber does have a feature to split a bill, and has source,destination pairs for all its trips. I bet you can do some serious social graph construction with that data. And, a

This refers to the loss of two virtual private servers -- two VPSs. I read through this looking for the part where two Vice Presidents from Namecheap were fired over the incident.

Yep; ironically, that's what I get for doing math while jetlagged.

It's only mildly awkward to go to bed at 6pm, and then when you fly back east, you don't have much jetlag in that direction either. 2am in China is 11am in SF. (I'm assuming the OP is flying from the US, based on the destinat

I can't wait for this to land in the enterprise edition. We go through some pretty convoluted steps to maintain branch protection while still allowing issues to be edited.

This is exactly what the article addresses. It is about the imbalance in the US economy, in which large companies are not seeing the competition that they should, and the record profits are being sequestered by investors instead of making t

I will replace my iPhone 5 with one of these. I'm happy to hear that the dimensions are the same, since I have some existing accessories that would probably not work if the size were a bit different.

That Wikipedia link has a reference to the relocation of the Cape Hatteras lighthouse [1]. The way the article is written, it sounds like the light characteristic didn't change when it was moved. I don't have any pre-1999 charts o
