It'll be far cheaper for them to make a pricing page than to be answering all of the inquiries.

How is it worse? And how exactly do you plan on serving the image to the user? Do you have a rouge router? Or a homographic URL? And consider, if you do have either of those things, then you can do so much more than spoofing an image, like

Not having the image provides even less certainty of security. You assume that the image being there will make people less likely to check other aspects of the site, like the URL. But consider the average user. Spoofing and phishing attacks

The code for the proxy itself isn't that complex, no. But it would have to be tailored to the target's banking site. Again, not extremely complex, but more difficult. And actually implementing the attack, including getting a homographic URL

Security is not about guaranteeing anything, it's about making it more difficult to break in. The lock on your front door does nothing to guarantee a burglar won't enter your home, it just makes it more difficult to do so. The examples he g

Our society has this totally backwards. First, to find nudity, you have to go out of your way on 500px. Is it there? Sure. But is a 4 year-old going to run across it without concerted effort? No. And if they do find it, will it really have

Exactly. And I didn't even address the copyright issues with using this image. As I mentioned in another comment, the laws on this one would be pretty clear cut, and regardless of how you feel about IP laws, it would be a huge mistake to so

No problem. I made the comment for you guys, especially as you're starting to get press, but also for the community as a whole. While IP issues are rarely clear cut here in HN, I think we can agree that, with current copyright laws, you'd b

Why would there be age restrictions, other than the usual "can't collect user data under 13"?

This may be an unnecessary warning, but unless you have a model release signed by Angelina Jolie to use her image to promote your site, you should probably find another photo to use. I'm not a lawyer and laws vary by state, but in most stat

My sense of proportionality? Unfortunately, unless you are a member of congress with a majority backing, that's not worth much. If he had only trespassed, then 30 days might mean something. But there is reasonable suspicion that he did mo

Try quoting the whole thing: "The prosecutors recognized that there was no evidence against Mr. Swartz indicating that he committed his acts for personal financial gain, and they recognized that his conduct - while a violation of the law -

"While at the same time, his defense counsel would have been free to recommend a sentence of probation. Ultimately, any sentence imposed would have been up to the judge." This was not negotiation with a gun.

Thanks for the feedback. Updated so it goes straight to the process first.

I really like his 4th Down analysis: http://www.advancednflstats.com/2009/09/4th-down-study-part-... The tl;dr version can be found at: http://www.advancednflstats.com/2010/05/4th-down-briefs.html The conclusion is that teams should go

Looking through the 2002 season, there's an oddity around touchdowns and extra points. It seems that the 6 points for the touchdown are bundled with the extra point, and the score is not updated until the extra point is complete. It seems t

While he's very much on the right track here, his mention of celebrities muddles the point somewhat. In most states (perhaps all), it is illegal to use someone's likeness for advertising without their consent. This is regardless of their st

It depends on the use. If you are using the photos for news purposes, then yes, this works. But if you are using it for commercial purposes, then you would also need a release showing that the person (celebrity or not) received sufficient c

This depends greatly on where you are. In a well regulated place like NYC, you are absolutely correct. But in any place where you must negotiate a rate, which is common outside of the G8, you do so before getting in the vehicle.

iOS Chrome has "Incognito Mode*". The asterisk is there because WebKit does not have any way to make localStorage private, meaning it's shared between Incognito and Normal browsing modes, so there's a possible leak of information there, esp

You're forgetting localization. Your timezone alone makes you more identifiable. Add in your IP address and you're pretty identifiable. Not to mention that iPads don't really have any private browsing mode.

The material feels like the Crocs foam, and I think it's a bit lighter than a regulation ball. It also squishes down more easily; you can flatten it by stepping on it, though it'll pop right back into shape. It also has different bounce cha
