Sweet, but it's always risky getting the first generation hardware. I'm holding out for the iPhone SE/30.

Indeed they do (and far better than most English-speakers speak any foreign language). My point was that this has been professionally translated from Greek into many languages, beginning with German on January 13 (paywall, sadly). So ther

It is a fantastic book. I'd also like to recommend Practical Electronics for Inventors by Paul Scherz and Simon Monk ( http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Electronics-Inventors-Paul-S... ). I'm in the crowd that's

Since our daughter was three, we have read aloud to each other every night. Like others in this thread, we don't have a TV. When she was younger, she would sometimes draw or play with Playmobil while we read, but still we would alway

The title is a bit hyperbolic. The article shows how the Van Allen belts constitute a "nearly impenetrable" barrier preventing "ultra-fast electrons" from approaching the earth.

For one optimistic moment there, I thought this was going to be about, you know, ethics. Like how Uber abuses its drivers, or how it demeans women, or how it threatens journalists. But no, "ethically challenged" means they don&#

I'm reminded of http://xkcd.com/1232/ (Edit: Not intended to be snarky; I just think people do ask those questions all the time, and this xkcd answers it well.)

I believe GPS was designed such that the US had the ability disable it over arbitrary areas to prevent its use by hostile forces in a conflict.

I clicked on this article thinking it was about Telecommunications Devices for the Deaf, wondering what the alternatives are now that installed payphones with TDD consoles are not to be seen anywhere. I must look into the smart- and featur

I'm dubious about the meaningfulness of broad terms like "Christian", "Muslim", etc., because of their coarse granularity. I'm not religious, but from what I observe, I don't think the "Christian&quo

Persona uses third-party cookies, so this is expected with this add-on. If you whitelist persona.org (e.g., just visit persona.org and set self-destruct to "never"), then Persona works fine.

Mozilla Identity dev here. The reason for that was due to a large degree to time and priorities. We were close to shipping Persona preffed off in Firefox over 18 months ago. Then FirefoxOS came along and our focus was changed to implemen

If your email is hacked/malicious, and that's where your password reset requests from twitter, facebook, HN etc. are sent, it doesn't matter whether you reuse passwords or not; the attacker has the power to change them.

I agree. As a parent of a kid interested in programming and math, I would only suggest replacing "for kids" with "for beginning learners." From what I've seen, kids over 7 and grown-ups are pretty much on even foo

Yes, though I want badly for them to be true, the photos do look to me at the very least manipulated and at worst very poorly composited. I haven't looked too closely at any of the images, and I don't even have my glasses on :)

This is also why people should hire Ryan Seys when he's done with university. Oops - I didn't just say that! Hopefully he'll be coming back to Mozilla :)

(Identity team member here.) Yes, that's right. tincan is against running an ephemeral instance of Persona that doesn't do the account bridging, and doesn't share a database with the real persona.org. We do plan to integra
