I'm curious about their statement that they automatically append a slash as soon as you type the month. The instructions say "MM/YY", but do not indicate whether the month is required to have two digits, or just permitte

So, Agent-1, based on your training and experience, can you conclude, Agent-1, that simply because someone uses a pseudonymous username to conceal their identity, Agent-1, that they are a criminal?

There should be a bitcoin address for donations. There's no reason to trust me, but if you send me bitcoins, I'll convert to dollars and send to the fund. You preserve your anonymity. I'll convert all donations at the end o

with coinbase, I transferred maybe $600 to Bitcoin. With Dwolla, I transferred maybe $60,000. That should be an indication of the potential. The reason is that with Dwolla / Mt Gox, I could control my purchase much better. I love ooinbas

Where did you get that, out of that PDF? The number 25% sounds extremely high. I have read this PDF before, a while ago, and I don't remember that stat. A quick glance tells me that they say that 2 addresses have over 500,000 Bitcoins, bu

Correct me if I am wrong, but the prevailing thought when that article was written (1992) was that digital currency would resemble more of a transferred digital coin, with signatures representing each transaction. So if I had coin #12345,

Right now they subdivide to 8 decimal places. .00000001 With minimal change to the protocol they could subdivide to much smaller units. I think "bitcoin" is a confusing name, because it's really more like a group of account numbers, which

Just thought it was interesting to see the term Django take off (with the new movie out). So much for using Google Trends to see what's more popular.

Looks cool, but I couldn't make it work. I went to http://patriciopalladino.com/files/hieroglyphy/ and put in a script "alert(1);". This provided me with a script of about 8300 characters. I created a web page to execute the script:

Oh, and on your point #3... Right now, I intentionally do not allow you to initiate a text conversation to a phone number. There are a few issues and challenges with that (particularly in spam prevention, and in having to know the user's c

Thanks. I wrote the Terms and Conditions at 4AM when wired on coffee. It's hard to keep them brief and yet explain a little bit of the "why". Yeah, I'm not sure about http://txt.gs . Google/blogger wouldn't let me point that to their se

This was one of those "it's a 3-day weekend... I wonder if I can build something and learn something." I decided to cobble something together that permits anonymous texting. It's certainly not perfect, but I thought it was worth showing of

A common strategy is to pre-announce when you know a competitor is ready to release a product but yours is in the pipeline. I'm not claiming that this is the case, but if some other comedian is ready to release on Friday (and therefore beco

Funny that Bagcheck is listed as a "good" example. I was just commenting to someone as to how confusing that site is. There's a box next to the "JOIN" / "SIGN IN" words in the upper right, that is positioned next to those words (as if thos

With all this power and smarts built into this alarm clock, couldn't they just put in an automatic adjustment for Daylight Savings Time? I would love to have one less clock that I need to adjust two times a year. Edit: It knows the day of

I'm glad that the webkit-specific features were prefixed. I just wish they would have chosen a prefix that was a wake-up call to anyone relying on them. Perhaps a prefix like "this-feature-will-be-deprecated-in-2013-". Slightly off-topic,

The best example of voluntary contribution to a government is the founding of the US government itself. It was entirely voluntary, while taxes were being collected by the enemy. And yet somehow this was successful enough to overthrow the

Agreed, but it's the same organization that is performing both "services" - providing stability and guiding it "stably" to zero.

First, I am not saying that I don't value government services. I am saying that as someone who believes that people should be free, it's disingenuous of me to force someone else to pay for freedom, through the threat of guns. (I am comple

Not paying taxes harms people??? That's pretty funny. Yeah, it harms the person not paying taxes. Your false assumption is that people (as a whole) wouldn't pay an equivalent amount, or more, to charitable organizations or government, if t
