I don't know if I would even consider his last name a household name at this point. HN is generally not a good indicator of the majority.

One of my favorite facts is that merely relighting the engine provides enough thrust to lift the rocket (at its minimum throttle of 60%). This means that it must slow to a standstill, cut the engines and hit the platform at exactly the same

I have had a similar experience - finding out what is really going on with my iDevices always ends up being a giant time-suck. Things do seem to "just work" as long as you don't go looking too far - which, I imagine, is wh

The comments on that article are great too: >> The ap-22s-2 Full Pressure Suits were my biggest immediate problem. The suits were ADC hand me downs, all going over age. New suits were finally procured after numerous equipment failures

Because I already have an app for that - the web browser, and it works great with countless other services I use on a daily basis.

I have found there is a strong correlation between people who suck at email and people who suck at realtime chat. It appears that not many people have learned (or been taught) to value other peoples' time in regards to this sort of com

It may be, but the above poster also left out one of PHP's strengths - availability. It's already running and ready to go on whatever cheap shared host you've been on for the last 20yrs. Ruby/Rails likely isn't.

Your San Francisco Bay Area population is way off - I'm guessing you actually mean San Francisco proper (not the entire SF Bay Area). Checking my former zip codes it does not seem to extend out into the East Bay yet.

Because retailers figured out a while ago that having a personal relationship with their customers (knowing everything about them) is EXTREMELY valuable. Think of the merchant wars with MC/Visa/ApplePay...etc as well as how much

The difference would be that the trans-bay tube sat on the floor of the bay, this would need to be under the floor (at least when it crosses the tube). Probably still the most cost-effective solution...

280 also just terminates to city streets as well...it is quite a disaster in urban planning all around. Pretty sure a while back there was an extension project that just got canned - don't remember the reason, but if you look at the sa

It's good that you managed to intervene - I know a lot of Dell owners that are not well equipped to handle these sorts of calls. Hopefully the worst that comes of it is a small fee. At least it is good to see word getting out - that i

I completely agree. I returned to Boston after 10 years away and was floored by the transformation. I see it as flushing away a huge amount of technical debt that we had incurred over the last 100 years, hopefully setting us up for moderni

I had the same problem last April, and had a surprisingly difficult time finding any more info about it. All Dell forum threads say that they know nothing about it and refer you to the FTC site. The really disturbing part was they used my

More secure payment systems like CurrentC also employ tokenization to enhance user privacy and security throughout the payment process. This means that merchants are never given an actual bank account number, instead they are given a one-t

Did more research - it seems like this article is wrong about fraud liability (in addition to QR tokenization). There are plenty of things wrong with CurrentC, no need to make stuff up... To further protect CurrentC™ consumers, our zero-l

Any chance you can point me to a good demo? I haven't seen a good single-scan loyalty/payment demo for ApplePay yet, and the SamsungPay demo seems to imply it but isn't very clear...

I have worked with APIs in the past that would only make masked account numbers or last 4 digits available. Stripe is a great example - after the initial card is created, everything is tokenized, and they only allow you to pull the last 4 d

by prplhaz4 11y ago
I believe CurrentC's (Paydiant's) QR code tokenization works the same as you've described Apple Pay tokenization - the merchant POS does not see any payment info other than a one-time-use token. This was another decent teardo

a tenth of a second for a 0-60 time actually is kind of a big deal...the closer you get to zero the harder it is to shave off that additional tenth...traction also becomes a very real limitation...bravo to the Tesla team. Also, i'm pre

This thread would be remiss without mentioning the EnyoJS UI builder, Ares2, which has a similar feature set, but also allowed for Dropbox storage (work on your apps anywhere) and Cordova builds from the UI. All of it runs on node.js with E

at rentsent, we've been using Dwolla as an abstraction layer for bank accounts - it's not fast, but it is pretty cheap, and a lot easier than having to remember someone else's bank account number

Definitely not the type of update I was hoping to see from Ben/Dwolla - it leaves a bit of an ominous outlook for those of us trying to save some money on credit card exchange fees in 2014. I will look on the bright side and just assum

Shame no comments - the new framework does a great job of taking the solid concepts from Yii1 (which shares a lot with RoR - MVC, ActiveRecord, db migrations) and blending them with modern dev concepts/best practices (composition, even
