Selection bias of some sort from people who abstain from alcohol?

I explain this in a comment that's a bit further down the page but here it is in a nutshell: * You're right that this is very similar to our previous offering. At its core, the encryption logic is the same. * While both libraries offer an o

Sorry to hear you had a rough time with Transparent Redirect. Having fielded quite a few e-mails on this very issue, I'd say it's possibly the biggest limitation with TR. There are only a couple options available in the situation you descri

Hi Michael, Braintree developer here. You're right that Braintree.js is based upon our end-to-end encryption library. While that's been out of beta for some time, it was strictly for encryption (that's literally the only thing it did). In t

The link to "helpful info from a redditor" about calling representatives is not-so-ironically blacked out.

At least they didn't provide a one-line install from a non-https server, too. Just use "curl http://www.example.com/install_this.sh | sudo sh"!

Either the author of the comment I replied to ninja edited his comment or I need to work on my reading comprehension. I think it was the first thing though...

Google Closure Tools is not the same thing as Clojure. A little confusing I am sure since Closure Templates is a templating system that dynamically generates HTML in Java and JavaScript... And Clojure is a language that targets the JVM. I h

So not being sexist makes an industry boring? Maybe we need to throw in some racism and make things even more edgy!

Well I think you're right...but this "culturism" that you talk about has something to do with the fact that Indians from India are not inherently very good at managing people or software projects. It's not racism if it's true!

I'd be interested to know the stats on how many people have had overdraft fees and never let it happen again (or seldom) vs. those who get them routinely. It's happened to me. Once. Never again.

I know a guy who was a broker on Wall Street throughout the 80's and 90's... He retired to take over the family farm, the sort of thing a lot of his peers wanted to do, and after 10 years of working non-stop to almost-not-quite break-even h

Would you consider putting comment scores on a user's Comments page or perhaps on the permalink page to an individual comment? That way the truly curious can look?

On top of Ruby we put the Rails web framework. It’s not very common to actually code anything in Ruby. Is he really confusing programming languages with frameworks? I can't take anything serious that he writes anyways but that's pretty ig

Is satire, which often makes very heavy use of sarcasm, to be considered uncivilized?

The article does mention that only 19 of the planned 66 are on-line yet. I think considering that, it really is a pretty stunning photo.

I see on your site that you say, "recently, I also got rid of all of my possessions through a project called Cult of Less." That must not have included all of your nice clothes.

Have you ever tried to send bulk e-mail? Even if you're doing everything right with double-opt-in, watching your sender scores, managing your bounce-backs, etc, etc, etc, you will get banned by some major e-mail provider (say Yahoo or Com

Hackintoshes a threat to Windows? No offense, but that's laughable. It's been awhile since I put together one but it's such a huge pain in the ass that even most people capable of putting OS X on ordinary hardware won't bother.

I doubt that investors would be savvy enough to care but it would be a stupid move, nonetheless. Besides, the server is where Linux matters, not consumer hardware.

Well you could script it to change the rate of pulsing in JS I guess... Still don't think this is very exciting anyways. Why the png and not pure a pure css icon for instance (although that's not very interesting to me either)?

Stego is detectable. They will move on to scanning for and flagging those communications eventually.
