The bet was close to even odds. Also since this was a one time bet, with the downside of (probably) him never betting again, even if it payed out 10x the money he bet, you would still want to be pretty sure you were right -- and not just &q

Should have sent them a password locked program called *DoorHasBeenCracked". The only thing it does is post passwords to an http server that you control. There is a good chance they try their own password on it. New school phishing att

It isn't about hurting anyone, it is about having some pride as a trickster/troll. You played a good prank, your roommate figured it out. Time to move on. Anyone can lie through their teeth, that's not clever at that point.

Damn it, I got the Moto X because it was the last of the sub 5.0 inch screen phones. Looks like it is time to switch to the samsung alpha.

I haven't been keeping up with Python stuff lately and still use 2.7 for most stuff. Has Python solved the GIL problem yet? Or a threads still pretty useless?

I think people say they are "too early" because they feel that don't have the resume to get accepted. They feel like if they could only get user traction before applying you might over look our mediocre grades, work history,

Damn he sold all those shares at the bottom of the dip. $19 - $20... facebook is now at $74. His shares would be worth more than $3.5 billion now if he held on to them. Of course the market could behave differently if he holds, but still fu

I guess I'm wondering if Google actually cares. Seems like if they think it will help employee productivity to let them hangout at work 24/7 then seems like a win for everyone. Maybe they formalize it and set up a few bunk beds wi

If Satoshi can't configure Tor correctly how is Joe Blow supposed to figure it out?

One way is referral links. If you click on a link in my email and buy something on, say, Amazon, I could potentially make up to 10% of the purchase price (Amazon is actually normally around 5% I think).

2014 and there are still websites that auto start videos? At the bottom of the page no less? I pretty much ctrl+q out of fear at this point. Autoplaying videos = virus/phishing website in my head.

The article says you don't actually have to fall asleep to feel the effects. Just lay in a half sleep/relaxed state for 20 minutes.

Why? Facebook just paid 19 billion for WhatsApp. Investors are hoping Snapchat produces similar results.

So more clicks/effort to get back to your comments means you're more willing to put in an effort when making comments? And therefore leads to better comments in general?

I'm guessing people don't mean that if you used jQuery you are a bad developer. Just that, if you are a good developer, you don't rely on it and can write the vanilla version if needed. EDIT: In this case, I'm wrong, the

You're still not poor though. In fact, if you have a million dollar net worth with expenses covered by your current income, you're definitely in the "rich" category compared to 99% of the US.

Chrome remote desktop works with linux/mac/win now. Not sure if there is some headless way to set it up on EC2 and/or linux but I've got it running on my box at home and it works great.

3 - 5% is all you need to keep half the subreddits alive. If 3 - 5% of the users are willing to pay then about half the subreddits will stay alive since, if the owner is unwilling to pay, chances are some user of that subreddit is willing t

Mods pay nothing. Just one owner pays a fee to keep the subreddit alive. Similar to buying a domain name.

Mods would pay nothing. One person who owns the "domain" (sub-reddit) pays 10 dollars per year. And it was just some food for thought. I'm not advocating it, but reddit does need a better influx of cash then the gilding syste
