IIRC some oauth providers let you specify a custom URI as a callback. Then you just load your user's native browser, and have a registered URI protocol handler that will bring the user back into your app after authorization completes.

Not quite the same but something like https://www.reddit.com/r/shutupandtakemymoney comes close. Basically only items that can actually be purchased.

Here's an auction style that could be used to determine an optimal price, particularly for digital goods: 1. Each shopper specifies the max they're willing to pay for the item. Perhaps pre-auth this price on their credit card. 2.

This is where we get issues where software engineers are expected to do things that are difficult to impossible (DRM, safe crypto backdoors, accurate copyright infringement detection, accurate censorship) and are told to just "do their

For shows with identical intros, mkv format supports linking to a separate file to store it. The separate file just has to be in the same directory.

Another simple benefit to localization is that it can make it easy to fix typos or reword things in your native language, too, if you use short keys in your code and have all real strings in a single place. Even if you don't plan on lo

How does the sharing access work? Does it sign in with the password locally and share the resulting cookies to the recipient?

One risk is, if it doesn't work out, you'll be stuck running into the other person regularly, each day on your commute.

Another thing to consider (for software engineers at least) is hours per day, vs days per week. It can take a few hours to ramp up productivity and get in the zone. On the other hand, in a well organized team if a few people take a day or t

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I suppose a better comparison would be Narbacular Drop, which Portal is related to.

If investors want a cut from these people being hired, they should make that part of the terms of the investments. For example, "we get X% of the company for $Y, and if the founders get hired, Z% of their compensation for N years.&quo

One could argue the same thing about Portal, but it was quite successful.

I wouldn't mind this if it had breadcrumbs. For example, http://example.com/path/to/file.html would be four buttons (chips?) [example.com][path][to][file.html]

Having moved to Tokyo last year, I'm really hopeful for more accurate altitude data. Much of Tokyo is under and above ground level, and I wish the altitude data were accurate enough to determine which floor I'm on. Perhaps Bluetoo

In Tokyo it's just pictures of food. I wonder if there was a way to detect pictures of food automatically so it could be filtered out.

I think the real problem is unlimited internet connections. If ISP customers paid per-GB and/or per-Mbps, then the ISP shouldn't care if it's Netflix or Hulu or YouTube being consumed. The issue is that today, it's diffi

In the past, key exchange was hard. Now it could be as simple as walking to your local Bank branch and scanning a QR code on a plaque with your smartphone (as mentioned in the article). Online-only or remote businesses like social networks

For a moment I thought this was a way to workaround any patents with this hack, by rediscovering the hack dynamically; but I could be remembering a different patented technique.
