Been working on this for about a year. Basically my first real 'startup' since I launched Tinychat nearly a decade ago. Essentially, this is google analytics for where you have been. It makes use of a local database on the phone i

Golds value comes entirely from the fact that we as a society give it value. The beauty line doesnt work, because then platinum shouldnt have any serious value despite its rarity (it just looks like silver basically) The industrial value is

Hogwash. The worth of a company is what someone will pay for it. Thats literally the definition of the market cap. Trying to say "But these shares are overvalued right now!" means nothing. The value of anything is what someone wil

I think its been around 7 years since a public exploit has been dropped for the apple airport extreme. YMMV though, as Apple has stopped selling them which means support is likely going to be minimal in the future if something does pop up.

So, thats more code you want me to write, to support how many total potential users on the planet? I'm good. They knew what they signed up for when they chose to use an email like that and I am sure every single one of them has another

I disagree. While n@ai might be a technically valid email, its such a extreme edge case ( maybe 1 out of 1,000,000 people have a email like this) that its worth denying that person registration to keep the likely thousands of erroneous emai

Looks like the trezor has native support for ALMOST this exact functionality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Jva-vcFQjE (it for whatever reason, stores the passwords on dropbox, instead of in the device...)

Does a password management / U2F solution exist that would let you view all password titles with a master password but only dispense the actual passwords, one at a time, via a button press? Would prevent having your entire password DB

My first instinct reading this was to think about the gothamist/dnainfo kerfuffle. However, Checking the new yorkers revenue shows around 200 million/yr, I definitely did not expect that and likely means it can easily support a un

Considered this before, but it doesnt work. IIRC, the law applies to euro citizens both living in country and abroad. As such, geoip blocking is not a working strategy. (a french citizen who lives in japan still had GDPR rights) A better on

11 million distributed around is going to be close to nothing on a per-publisher basis. I wouldn't be surprised if the spread was more than 100 to 1 on owed vs collected. (so if you lost 100k from a terminated adsense account, I doubt

Technically this was possible before this. Since the email to each slack user is an @company.com address all you need to do is take control of the employees email address, reset the slack password and login as the target user.

This seems very at-odds with previous rulings (specifically, relating to craigslists many past dealings). Strikes me as being very unlikely to stand up to appeal. Also, linkedin will likely modify their websites behavior (make you click to

There is also 52 million they sold in a 'pre-sale' I dont think is included here. Yes, that would mean they have ~litecoin valuation currently.

They literally sold 186m worth. As in, Filecoin literally has 186 million in the bank. Its insanity

Looks to be about.... 10? times the cost of a normal elevator if I had to guess. I bet the maintenance costs are fun as well. As such, doubt you will see these except in niche buildings (things like the porsche tower, etc..)

As a windows 10 user, I would have definitely moved to a 'windows phone' anytime before ~2010. What would have gotten me to move would have been some sort of seamless 'handoff' from my desktop computer to my phone. I sti

High risk, high reward. If you buy the average piece of real estate and rent it out, you are looking at 30+ years to cover the cost. You can also lose it all (housing bubble) or quadruple your investment (investing in SF 10 years ago)

Just took a quick look at this. If you are located in the 'mining valley' of Washington where power is ~2c/kwh you are still getting healthy profits. A computer with 7 GTX 1070 graphics cards should produce ~230 mh/s and

Years and years ago when we first launched a video chat room app, they denied it. They said it wasnt allowed to have a listing of rooms. So we simply had the app request a file from our server on app launch. If the file was present, we hid

I can only add my experience with etsy on the affiliate side. TheHunt.com previously sent them significant traffic (as in, hundreds of thousands of visitors) via their affiliate program. We then got a email that they were going to change ou

Seems like something like Chaos monkey should have been able to predict and mitigate a issue like this. Im actually curious if anyone uses it at all- Curious if anyone in here at a large company (over 500 employees) has it deployed or not.
