I had absolutely no idea my NFC reader on my Nexus could read my credit-card details, or other RFID stuff with NFC enabled -- rather scary! To anyone who is interested, enable NFC on your 'droid, then on Google Play, download "Car

I run a Facebook fan page for a TV show, and use Teespring ( http://www.teespring.com ) to monetize the page. Every few months I do a sale, which nets around $4,000 USD.

What? I live in NZ and I've never heard of an ATM that gives you money without a pin.

Err. Not an advert for an alarm clock. I google image searched, and then copied the URL. Apologies if you think I'm trying to sell you an alarm clock.

I'm deaf, and I can't wake up to the traditional beepy noises that alarm clocks have, so I have this really awesome vibrating alarm clock that clips on to my pillow. I used to have such difficulty waking up, but this vibrating alarm clock

I usually try and use Readability to read long and interesting articles... but it did not like Gwern's site. http://www.readability.com/articles/5jqxbits

It's funny. I work in New Zealand, and I do my 37.5 hours a week as required (any more than that, and I get over-time) but that 37.5 hours takes such. a. long. time! When I was working for a startup, and working from whatever time I woke up

Yes, but remember it's still used in the medical world. > When used in medicine it is typically used to treat severe pain, such as that resulting from a heart attack or a severe injury. The name "heroin" is only used when being discusse

I run a popular fan page on Facebook, and if I know who the artist/author is, I will credit them. If I don't know who they are I say "artist: ?" and someone will always send a message to let me know who the artist/author is. I too, sell

OS X and Safari. I have the same problem. Annoying.

I find it hilarious. Apparently I'm supposed to go home from work at 11am! Timezones Google.

Wow. Next time take some effort to design a better shirt. What's to stop you from taking the money and running? Perhaps that's something Teespring could implement/enforce one day, for people collecting money for donations.

I completely agree with you. I looked at the site originally, and thought, "eh. another app that's going to be bought out by someone, probably" and left. After reading some of the comments here, I went back and read it more carefully, and i

This article makes me ponder about the origins of Bitcoin. This page claims that it could be a group of people who made it, which seems a bit more likely: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_Nakamoto Does anyone else have any interesting i

At least the logo goes to the main page of the website, and not the main page of the blog. EDIT: heh, that was fixed 46 minutes ago.

You do realise this post is from 2010, and it was on the front page of Reddit and HN back then, so it wouldn't be hard to think that someone may have fixed it since then!

It's been going on for a loooooong time. Sub7 anyone? I'm sure most of us were once 14, and unsupervised and didn't do anything evil.

That's probably a safe bet. It's just stupid though. Some people get offended by (for example) "hearing impairment" because... it's implying they have an impairment. You do have an impairment, jeez. It's different in groups too. I believe

This is probably off-topic, but I've started using Safari religiously now. When Chrome first came out, it was barebones, fast and did the job. This is what Safari currently feels like, so I'm using it. Fast, stable, and does the job. Now Ch
