In 95% of cases I wouldn't have even posted this. The company is huge though and they do a lot of transactions like ALOT ALOT. The amount of information that could be exposed is a lot higher than your average website. My problem is rea

Thank you so much for this. (xpto123 as well). I tried calling but just got bounced around and I'm not sure anyone actually understood/cared. I've got a nice early season cold going so not really interested in sitting on the

To be clear I don't work for the company. I just happened across it while on their website. More or less I got suspiciously redirected from one of their listings and I started digging from there.

I think you are seriously underestimating the modern electrical grid. This is a control room that controls high voltage lines in the Midwest: http://www.chronicletimes.com/photos/17/86/19/1786193-H.jpg O

Up to 48 hours. You can bet that is with everything off. Looks like its going to be a 1 day device with GPS/Heart Rate and moderate usage.

I don't think it would be that hard to have a computer program scrape a form, compare it to industry predictions and take a position in well under a second.

Insider trading should generally improve pricing of securities. It is the primary argument for legalizing insider trading.

Population of Toronto is ~2.5 million. $400 dollars a person is 1 billion dollars which is a bit absurd as an increase. It does however happen to be roughly what the city spends in totality. '13-'14 increase was ~12 dollars per pe

Sorry I see the 98.5 for the year end 2013 but I don't see how your getting to 206.5 from there? Their total costs are only 148m on the statement of operations. Also presumably some of that stock based compensation is in lieu of paying

Probably taxes. There are non-trivial tax credits for R&D spending. My guess is they shoehorned as much of their costs into R&D as they could. You can see they got 1.2 million in R&D credits in 2013 in the referenced document.

Congrats! Just a comment. Your landing page seems very sparse. I hadn't heard of you before and from that landing page I had no good idea of what your app does or how popular it is. I feel like adding your blurb from the about page + i

Odd. Im on 14.04 with the same UA and it works fine. Do webGL based apps work on other websites? You might have to enable webgl on Chrome I think I remember doing that at some point... My guess is he is just checking for webgl/experime

Very impressed by the performance. With a 10mb png I don't notice any lag. Is it just me or is the mousewheel zoom backwards? Max zoom seems a bit weak too. I notice you mention RAW support. Is that really your target market? It seems

"Man can do what he wills but he cannot will what he wills." One of the oldest questions in philosophy to which I don't think there has every really been a good answer. Or at least I haven't read one.

But still 600Mbps at 200m. It seems like it could still offer substantial improvements for most subscribers. It would be interesting to see a graph of distance/speed comparing it with regular DSL.

First you have to void your warranty to properly dual boot now this? They want to drop support for a file format so they can make renaming drives easier? I'm actually in the market for a new laptop/netbook. I was very close to pur

IMO Uber's greatest threat is someone coming along and making a similar service and licensing it to cities so that the cities could control who becomes a driver, total number of drivers, as well as integrate with traditional taxi servi

I agree with most of the posters here that the market for Uber totally replacing household vehicles is pretty slim. However I think there could be a larger market for Uber replacing 2nd/3rd vehicles. That said, there are already taxis

Also the skew/unskew on the #demo and #feature seems to cause font to render poorly on some browsers/OS combinations. Works fine in Firefox in Ubuntu. Chrome in Windows 7 is the worst with Chrome in Ubuntu being marginally better

I think amazon has a pricing error on their website for the light utilization instances since the April price drop as they are more expensive than even the on demand ones (at least the ones I looked at). I submitted a support ticket but hav
