robots.txt only tells spiders not to request a certain path. The search engine can still infer the content of the page from the link or surrounding text, and show it. Google usually annotates these in the SERPs with something like "Goo

Hm, I thought it was going to be talking about leaking information from your app, not browser cache. Putting the database row ID in urls, which is the Rails default, basically lets a competitor plot your growth with a simple script.

I need an SSN so I can pay into social security and eventually make use of those benefits. Also pretty sure I couldn't have applied for it in advance because I didn't have any non-tax treaty income to report, which is what prevent

I'm Canadian and just moved to the US. While utilities were pretty good about me not having a SSN (including Verizon), it's all the stuff that comes after that's causing me problems. So many web sites either rely on having an

This is on top of a 46% marginal income tax rate and 12% sales tax. I don't know what the BC plan is like, but in Manitoba if I didn't have any coverage through my employer I'd be paying for almost everything except visiting

You are correct in that capital gains are only triggered at the time of sale. But that has little to do with the OP's problem which is the taxable benefit he gets when buying the shares. As an employee, if I buy shares of a company at

I had contacted them for a quote a little over a month ago. Had to get on the phone with the sales guy to get any information. My favourite part is when you fill out the online form for a quote, the autoresponder says "Based on the ans

It's that way in Canada. Both Aeroplan and AirMiles make you pay taxes and fees. Depending on which airports you cross that's probably $50-$75 a head each way.

If I remember the ceremony correctly ('98) it was to be worn on the pinky finger of the working hand to serve as a reminder that like our work, steel is cold and unforgiving. It's the code of ethics that put our priorities as society, our p

Hm, maybe I should have been more specific. Given that this is an interesting hack to get a PSTN call to an analogue set through Twilio, why did they bother with the SIP proxy?

by swalberg 14y ago
Wouldn't it just work? The FXS port will generate the 90VAC/20Hz signal and the device plugged into it interprets that as an incoming call. You guys only support termination through SIP, not origination, so the dialling mechanism doesn't ma

Why is Asterisk in the mix? If you call a SIP URI directly from Twilio, can't you land it directly on the ATA?

It's helpful to think of two separate processes: managing the server that will host your application(s) and deploying to the servers. SSH + shell scripts are pretty good for one off things. But they're rarely idempotent. Chef and Puppet wil

There are roughly 2000 working hours in a year, so annual_salary / 2000 = hourly rate of a salaried employee. And as a rule of thumb, contractors need to make about twice the hourly rate of a salaried employee in order to come out even. So
