So I assume you willfully pay your tax on all online purchases?

In what way is it "not mobile compatible"? Works fine on any phone I've seen it on.

Nope. As mentioned above, apparently Google thinks people will "shoot themselves in the foot" with the crawl-delay directive, while they won't with Google's special interface (which requires registering and logging in).

Do you have any solutions for dealing with slight browser rendering differences? E.g. antialiasing on one browser but not another, slight font size / padding differences, etc. What browser are you "targeting" with the image?

These are beautiful. My first reaction was that these looked way too artsy to be direct grabs from street view cameras, and I wanted links for proof. Here is the un-doctored version of the Utsira, Norway shot: http://g.co/maps/th3bb

I love this format. Can anyone point to more "Rosetta Stone" examples like this? (Aside from ever-prevalent "X in Coffeescript compiles to Y in Javascript")

If you need to authenticate from another party's hashes, why not run bcrypt on those?

by storborg 15y ago
Whenever one of these posts comes up it seems like there's a lot of comments rushing to defend salted MD5 or SHA1. What's actually wrong with bcrypt that prevents people from using it? Is it not available on all platforms? Too computational

I don't think pg's trying to hide anything. It's presumably just a lot of work to maintain an up to date public index of blocked domains and rationale.

I've often seen a different, but related effect of client side analytics where content thieves will "accidentally" spoof analytics data by simply copying a site verbatim, with the analytics tag included. In this case it's usually relatively

So do it, and render the entire line of discussion pointless. This argument comes up often when discussing JS crypto, and while I agree it's silly for any system that actually has assets worth protecting--personal or financial info, for exa

And how do you do that at the corner Starbucks without using the command line? Edited to clarify since apparently I can't reply to a child comment: There are tools that require next-to-no technical expertise to passively observe HTTP sessio

You're talking about computational difficulty. He's talking about practicality for people who aren't experts. AFAIK there is no browser plugin that you can download that will help you MITM an HTTP session, whereas there is a browser plugin

I agree that it's disappointing that the article didn't mention reddit, but the compete.com data doesn't exactly support the notion of digg users flocking there: http://siteanalytics.compete.com/delicious.com+digg.com+redd...

True, but let's not conflate the issues of identity vs. verification vs. permanence. People can still lie on their social networking profiles, and anything in the real world can still be recorded. Even if social networking companies didn't

The author's example of screaming in the street is moot: most meaningful social interactions happen in a setting with far more information about the people you're interacting with: e.g. a college bar, a tradeshow, a cocktail party, a museum

As well as the enormous "Maker Shed" tax. My company made a product that was sold there, and Make wanted a >60% margin.

I just verified that it works in IE8 without Chrome Frame. I think what they mean by "legacy support is enabled" is "it's fugly but it works."

This is a really cool performance hack. However, doesn't this restrict the effectiveness of the browser cache to just the exact set of images requested at one time? For example: - On page load 1, I request images A.png, B.png, and C.p

Sure, but halfway decent web sites aren't the ones hosting malware.

The two assertions, taken alone, are not contradictory. If Joe makes $250,000 a year, he may think that he pays too much in taxes, but that the entire portion of society that makes over $200,000 pays too little. It could be that he thinks

You can hack these up yourself from the "Real 3D" glasses given out at most 3D theaters. 1. Obtain one pair of glasses 2. Pry apart at the seam with a putty knife or small flathead 3. Remove one of the gel lenses 4. Flip i

The author makes some great suggestions, namely to cache heavily and throttle requests. However, they lost a lot of credibility for me with "screen scraper traffic should be indistinguishable from human traffic". Sorry, but that's BS--socia

According to the CNN Cost of Living calculator which was passed around in other threads ( http://cgi.money.cnn.com/tools/costofliving/costofliving.htm... ), $100k in SF is equivalent to $67,887 in Portland. It's a huge difference, and you c

My company used it too. Honestly, I can't imagine people not using it, particularly since there's no way to hide low-priority issues otherwise. The new interface is somewhat frustrating in this respect because there is now no way to hide lo

The first and only two humans to visit the Challenger Deep did so in 1960, and in recent years not a single submersible has existed that's rated for that depth. We, as a species, have not gone back since. In contrast, twelve humans have wal

I don't get all the whining about 99Designs. If you don't like it, don't use it. It's not like it's going to turn good designers into bad designers, or make companies that used to hire good designers hire bad designers instead.
