The problem you see with using the card itself as identification of course also applies to using the number itself as identification.

I'm similarly baffled by these ideas. They seem like bad ideas for so many reasons. 1. The point you make. 2. Any man or masculine-looking woman who winds up there (either accidentally or as the result of the other areas filling up) w

I'm with you, this feels very weird to me. Usually you get a reasonable relationship between zero- and one-indexed views of the same thing. The relationship is normally that the zero-indexed points 0 and 1 form the start and end bound

I doubt that the kind of premeditated theft you're describing accounts for a large % of the losses. Also, if a package with a dye pack were delivered to me, I'd be extremely pissed off. (Which I suspect is almost guaranteed to ha

I think they're serious. Recipe websites make for great content farms as they naturally get page views that last for several minutes while requiring no creative writing skills for the recipe content. Prefixing the pages with some pro

I'm not seeing why that is true. If one were to imagine a deep moat around Kea, wouldn't that increase its prominence w/out impacting that of Everest? Or are you suggesting that Everest's dry prominence would be measur

I think that your point is what they were trying to address by saying that anything beyond eight nines is impractical. Their examples of correlated failures included earthquakes and floods which might have huge reach rather than just impac

One of his offers to help included drop shipping fully-charged power packs. I had to wonder: could you deliver more energy if you instead delivered the fuel you would save by leaving the power packs behind?

You have the wrong attitude here. Twice, actually. The fact that you haven't found a good way to get Google to fix things for you isn't an excuse to just charge forward with the best way that you have found. Suppose you're s

That's surprising to me. By not recycling glass you pay the fuel costs to move that glass to a landfill and you pay the fuel costs to move sand to your glass production facility. Is the final cost lower just because landfills and sand

I watched your video and you made some great points. As an aside, I have to wonder if you've thought through your desire to serve your website over HTTP instead of over HTTPS. You noted that you use ad blocking software because ad netw

I just assumed it was because people would rather pay $20 and be told that they saved $3.26 on their $23.26 bill than be told that their bill came out to $20. I'm really not sure what information I'm giving up by scanning a barcod

I had a modular laravel app where each laravel module was a git submodule. Eventually we put all of those submodules into the same git repository, so we then had had n+1 root commits for our n module laravel project. It worked well until

Silent doesn't imply undocumented. strlcpy's truncation is silent because it doesn't inform the caller about whether or not it truncated.

I'm not sure if you meant he took the license itself or the joke in the readme. If the license, then he was requested to remove attribution. If the quote, then I'd like to know how Karl Weierstrass managed to snag the username dis

That's a 99% party-line vote. You could kick most of 'em out and those seats would just be filled with another republican who would have voted the same way. If you want to see movement on this issue, then you need to communicate

Google let me listen to my own queries following, "okay, google." Mostly they were reasonable, but sometimes it heard "okay google" in what sounded to me like regular driving noise. It's a good reminder that even

So crazy. I'd seen on HN that chrome was rolling out that feature, but it didn't seem like a big deal at the time. Chrome already blocks things like pop-ups and flash, but it tells me when it does so and offers me a way to load

I would think that the consequences need to be pretty immediate to have a psychological effect. Seeing at the end of the month, "Wow, I broke the build 8x. I should be more careful." just doesn't carry the same sting as &qu

My guess is that the researchers designed their power source to mimic the behavior of solar and wind farms. The researchers were probably rather specific about these behaviors, but it was too verbose or technical for a news article. Some

The original title is also editorialized, just in the other direction. "New autoplay policy in Chrome" sounds reasonably neutral to me.
