Maybe, but it could definitely be illegal. Anyone could have the right intentions, but make a mistake during an act of Good Samaritan-ship and get sued.

I think the point was that many people reuse their passwords, so if Google et al were proactive about it, they would force reset passwords for the emails in this leak. But I agree, that may be over-protective/paranoid in some sense...

Not me, but a co-worker at an internship I held: Said person entered the number of metric tons of concrete 3 magnitudes higher than it should have been. Imagine the cost difference between 1.0 * 10^6 and 1.0 * 10^9 metric tons... Our boss w

I believe he was referring to the sign up process, which is just as easy (if not easier). In fact, I often have a very difficult time (as a payer) paying through PayPal with my credit card and not my PayPal account. Sometimes I just don&#x2

It would be interesting to experiment with scraping the <title> tag of the linked webpage. This is what Quora does for links in questions, answers, and comments. I love the way that HN shows the top domain of the linked site. Very ele

I agree with you because (afterall) they aren't a charity. They makes money by investing early in these start-ups, so they need to focus on bringing people through their program that have a higher chance of success.

ahem. tesla.im survey. The form "tesla.im survey." is no longer accepting responses. Try contacting the owner of the form if you think this is a mistake.

The color scheme is very Apple-esque (iOS 7). Not as much of the brushed aluminium from iOS 6 (and 5?).

As a tangent, would you consider biometric identification (in the broad sense - retina, finger print, DNA) a priori identification as well? I'd argue that one thing would make payments more seamless: identity = payment, in other words,

Would you be upset if they were slowly fading MacBook Pros out and instead replacing them with the retina MacBook Pros? From a different perspective, what if they were trying to drive the cost down to produce the rMBPs? Biding their time.

Interesting perspective. I like the look back to the beginning juxtaposed with the look to the future. I think the current state of payments is seeing a "payments 2.0" renaissance, if you will, akin to the "web 2.0" move

Awesome! Shared it on Facebook. Not sure if the data exists, but it would be amazing to see the map change over time, kind of like this: http://hint.fm/wind/

ah, yes, that particular angle could probably use some more research. I haven't read the consumer financial protection bills, but then again most legislators probably haven't either, and there certainly could be some loopholes tha

Exactly. In an ideal world: Merchants want zero fees, and instant payout (like cash), but "wait a minute" you might say. Don't businesses pay taxes, and how do you think those tax dollars are spent (in a non-gov't shutdo

VISA et al can still take away a merchant's ability to charge customers' credit cards if they catch you asking for minimum payments on cards or offering discounts for cash. It doesn't happen all the time, and usually consumer
