Answer: evolution. The ones who tried this don't exist any more. Amazon is an outlier. If another company did this, but it's stock price didn't keep rising , corporate "raiders" will replace the board and get money back as dividends. Sorr

I have a static IP at home. I use my Pi to enforce IP-based access restrictions on most sites that allow it. I use ssh's built-on socks proxy (-D on command line or DynamicForward config option) to do this. Firefox and Chrome both support S

I'm very curious what aspect of Twitter's TLS code makes hard to intercept whereas other websites can be easily intercepted? I'm also very curious about how they intercepted Whatsapp. Does it do something stupid like eval'ing code received

You can get close. Check out Photosmith ( http://www.photosmithapp.com/ ). Btw, Lightroom has a scripting interface using which I'm pretty sure you can roll what this guy wants.

I was hoping for Yubikey support. But I'll take this for now. I'll have to see if the Google Authenticator app shows up on all of my iDevices linked to my Apple account and whether the code from any of them will work (from the setup process

Really good article on the pitfalls of a weak random number generator. I think it's been on HN before: http://www.cigital.com/papers/download/developer_gambling.ph... For me, this was the article that made it crystal clear why you cannot

I personally like semicolons. It's similar in spirit to the period of English. Even languages which didn't traditionally have the period have adopted it in the last couple of centuries. More practically, it seems to remove a class of errors

Try Adobe Lightroom [yes, our favorite whipping boy Adobe :)]. It's really really awesome as a photo management tool. IMHO. If you find it slow, try throwing in an SSD. Don't run it with less than 8 GB RAM.

Given your last point re: kids, how is it "insane" that people want to buy houses? Most people have/want to have kids. Btw, I don't agree with your last point. It's pretty much possible to stay in a rented apartment for 5 years at a time qu

Can anybody explain if SSDs would have worked for this case?

Serious question: why do you want it to be free? I paid $10 for an SSL cert. Isn't that low enough?

Based on 10 seconds of thinking, maybe they want to prevent you from installing a suid binary in your home directory when in developer mode and then somehow running it in the regular mode.

I do something similar. You will need a powered USB hub to attach the external HDD (built-in USB can't supply the full 500 mW that a USB port is supposed to supply). Checkout out Plugable's videos on youtube. I have a Model B with a connect

Thanks. Yes, I meant panes. I also did the thing to get rid of the tmux prefix for pane switching. But since I don't use the function keys, I mapped keys F1 through F9 to various tmux functions. F1 = next pane, F2 = prev pane. One less key

Anybody know if it's possible to move between terminal windows (panes in tmux lingo) "clockwise" and "anti-clockwise"?

You probably knew this, but you can write and distribute Chrome extensions without having to upload them to the chrome app^Wweb store. Second, I've tried to work twice with Doing-It-Right (i.e., fine-grain) permission systems. Once with app

Interesting. It would nice if Chrome separated 'DOM write' permissions from 'DOM read' permissions. AFAIK, today extensions can't request only 'read' permissions. Yes, I understand that it's a pain for new Chrome developers to have to under

Since the Sift guys are responding: from where do you get the raw data about fraudulent transactions? I'm assuming you have streams of fraudulent and valid transactions, otherwise you can't figure out what correlates with fraud.

Ha ha. The foreign_key_check command is going to be a lifesaver for me. I run with foreign key support disabled, because the referencing ("child") rows might get inserted before the referencing ("parent") rows (I don't control the order of

Serious question: You have hundreds of hosts, but you don't think the savings of colocating your own hardware won't pay for an engineer to take care of the machines?

Two reasons: 1) Where can I find official-ish Chromium for Windows? 2) On Ubuntu, Chromium always seems to be behind Chrome wrt updates. I tried Chromium on Ubuntu, but switched because of the lag. Let me know if I am mistaken.

Ok, just in case it wasn't clear: I am asking about the advantages of having a VPN server as a bastion host instead of another SSH server. You would ssh to the bastion host, and from there to internal hosts. With the appropriate ssh config

Just curious. Have you enabled password logins on your servers, or do they only allow RSA key-based logins?
