I wonder how long before New York City walkers realize they can safely cross in front of Teslas without worrying about getting hit.

How do you figure out the factorizations? I've been looking for an efficient way to do this with really big numbers

I'm not sure in this case, that's true. But whether or not this was illegal I generally support skirting laws if it makes everyone else more secure. To that end, I also support Snowden.

This isn't all that complicated, as far as I can tell. Guy discloses a vulnerability. He knows it potentially has wide reaching security concerns, and downloads enough data to prove that if necessary. Guy gets shortchanged on the boun

This is interesting only because Mark didn't address it head on from the start, but honestly it's not all that surprising. Private foundations have something called "expenditure responsibility" which makes giving funds t

"To say that more of their ideas will help to solve the very issue they created..." I don't see how I did that. I do appreciate your perspective that I spun a cultural issue to support my political agenda. I'd argue tha

Universities love to complain about needing to react to what parents are saying, but this seems like something they bring on themselves. With such expensive tuition, a student's choice of college often cannot be made independently, an

Is YC positioning itself to become a competitive alternative to traditional universities with YCR?

Like many here, I'm confused with how people could be upset with GMOs but not random mutation. Either could result in the same vegetables. It turns out - when talking to strongly GMO-opposed persons - it's usually not the genetic

The business community has figured out a lot of things great for business. Non-Discrimination is on the list, but so is wage-fixing (on one hand) and providing alcohol to minors (on the other). Leveraging Apple's weight here just seem

I don't like him citing that discrimation is "bad for business" as anecdotal justification. Tim is the role model, not Apple.

The other day I noticed that they're inlining image data in the src attribute instead of pointing at an external URL. Really taking things to the next level all-around - I wonder when that will become the norm instead of css image spr

Wiki suggests measles has 1 in 100000 mortality rate. It's really not a terrible prognosis, especially in the first world where the vast majority are not immunocompromised. More serious than a common cold, but I personally can't

I agree, and you can certainly base a pro-vax argument off of this opinion. What frustrates me is that the vast majority of anti-vax critics are uninformed. Most insist that vaccine injuries do not exist. Several are unaware that immunoco

Wondering if this is disagreeable or just unpopular. I've been talking to people on both sides, working to hone my stance since the measles outbreak. It's unfortunate but I think this is where we stand.

Although some may be "turning" defensive against measles, there is a fairly large percentage that are aware of the risk of measles and simply consider the risk of vaccines higher. Measles doesn't scare these people, for the m

Thanks Bill. Is there anything about the fraud protection that's particularly noteworthy? I thought Stripe Marketplaces addresses this use case, but perhaps the liability still falls on me (the developer) with Marketplaces?

by gotothrowaway 12y ago
My understanding is that stripe has always done some level of fraud protection (e.g. Monitoring to ensure someone isn't incrementing through card numbers to find one that works) This seems like a necessary component of any "effect

For me, it has a password I don't ever recall using with gmail. If I have, I don't think it's been in the past few years. That said, it's my throwaway password I use on services I'm not particularly worried about.
