I think the idea is to automatically compensate for wind or other factors that would otherwise take the bullet on a path that is not on target. I think the part where they aim away from the target is just for demonstration.

If the workload is made to be very large, say 30 seconds on a recent desktop, it could fall back to a captcha for slower devices. At least people visiting with fast computers could be spared the captcha.

To allow for larger workload values, could the user start "earning" points by doing jobs as soon as they reach the website, and then "spend" those points when they decide to post. The average user will have been on the s

Interesting, but I tried them out in my Ubuntu 13.10 desktop and applying the whole lot completely killed Chrome. Strangely, certain tabs would consistently load fine, while others would end up with white screens - seemingly consistently pe

But if there was technically nothing they could do to access the data, they could not be forced to do it. If I encrypt data on my machine and upload it to s3, Amazon cannot be forced to do anything other than provide the encrypted data to t

The Google geocoding service returns a normalized address in addition to the lat/lon. There are times I need that address localized for the area it is in, and other times I need it localized for another culture. It would be very useful

By not having a plugin, all of the rendering done by PDF.js is contained within the sandbox normally provided for any page. If a PDF is designed to exploit PDF.js, the worst it can do is the equivalent of a cross-site scripting attack on th

I don't think the bounty is all that significant in deterring any would-be exploiter. Instead, it incentivizes the honest person who enjoys the puzzle of finding the exploit but would never actually try to profit from it illegally. It

It should work on most recent browsers - but it will be much more performant on browsers that support web workers. If all of the calculations have to be done in the same main thread, it has no chance. Since it is targeting mobile apps, and
