But we've tried to regulate this. The telephone has some utility besides just being a marketing channel. With TV, it's a lost cause.

And, correct me if I'm wrong, they've been delivering that level of convenience for many years and without any need for iframes. All due respect for Stripe, iframes are a potential security hole waiting to happen. iframes open many possibi

Cheers. I have installed Go before and messed around with it. I agree it's pretty good as far as being self-contained and straightforward. I just don't have the energy to keep chasing a moving target. For my purposes, I'm more intereste

Have you even looked at the rules? Paper sizes, fonts, lengths, deadlines. Do you need to be a lawyer to understand rules like those? You are only interested in what they say about amicus briefs. Anyway, I'm not even sure you can file ami

Noncommercial internet. Original style. Make the internet more like the telephone network, not the TV network. People do not like to be hounded by telemarketers day and night.

Maybe opting out is not how to stop this abhorrent practice of selling personal information. There is much more at stake than sites just selling email address lists. There is much more detailed information involved. Perhaps what would wor

I'm too lazy to install Go just to try this (I would need to, right?) but reading through the docs this looks far more appealing to me than tent.io. Nice work, at least with respect to the general design. Flexible.

What are those acronyms developers like to use? rtfm, utsl, etc.? :) There is a link to the court rules in the article. This is the definitive source, besides knowing clerks personally. There is some cynicism in this thread about whether

Not sure if it's relevant but one of the major "DNS providers" (that preceded Google) also chooses to domicile their operations in Ireland. They could just as well locate anywhere, but I doubt they chose Ireland for tax purposes. That jus

Does Javascript run outside the browser and outside of a platform like Node.js? I want stuff that can run on bare metal as well as on top of other code (software platform). Personally, I don't care about browsers. One application of a gaz

The problem is the open internet. There are ways to establish connections to a peer-to-peer overlay that take this out of the equation. The ISP is unlikely to block UDP traffic on some high port. Throttle perhaps, but not block. That get

I thought about this and I agree. Sort of. There was a time when no one cared about Apple computers. It's one thing to not care about something that you are not (made) aware of. It's another thing to not care about something that is commo

Have they changed it? ITA used to be very popular with the FlyerTalk MR crowd. I used to use it for the searching flights stage (getting info but not booking). I think the best matrix would be something like OAG, listing all flights that

The biggest problem I see that has plagued software design and the neverending quest for features as a means of recruiting users is... Large, monolithic do-it-all programs. Users too often have no choice over what functionality they can acq

You're making assumptions. About how things would work and about users and what they can and cannot do. Typical online discussion. Lots and lots of assumptions. I do not understand your last sentence. Didn't he say his ISP is blocking o

Yeah, that's usually how it'd done. But from what I've read (not just from the Nature article, I did actually read his papers years ago), this guy basically founded the entire field of what became "priming". It's all on shaky ground now,

IMHO, Bargh should redo some of his old expts himself. If he's so sure they are repeatable, then why not? His stuff is foundational to the entire field.

Do you think there will be lots of challenges though? The reexamination procedure will be different. Alas, if I understand corectly, it is still going to be expensive, even just to submit prior art against a bogus patent. Crowdfunded re-ex

Are you suggesting his employer doesn't know the recipients? Hmm, if true, I wonder what sort of email that might be. Not the type I'm interested in.

I never said there should be a lookup system. Where are you seeing that? I said there isn't one and people still manage to get by. The other commenter was suggesting looking up addresses was some sort of problem. I'm saying it's a non-i

"(Well, he did, ... " That's all I'm saying, really. I see "simplicity" as orthogonal to the idea that Steve Jobs led a revolution in design. I see the so-called revolution he led as being beautiful hardware enclosures, of all sizes. But

No hurt feelings. No yelling. Here's my point: real simplicity is the stuff of Dennis Ritchie. Not Steve Jobs. As I said, Apple makes beautiful hardware. And you could say they promote a certain "simplicity" of use. Maybe you could eve

How Dennis Ritchie's love of simplicity fueled everything that now matters in computing, including the operating systems and software Steve Jobs used to "fuel a design revolution". Apple makes beautiful hardware, but does that amount to sim

I think there may be some merit to this. The assumption of the patent troll may be that you will not look at their patents. (They are junk, remember?) They may just assume you will believe you need to hire a patent attorney and that the

But why even place the burden on the content producer to create these formats? Why not just establish a practice of raw feeds and let consumers write their own parsers? (I can imagine where consumers write parsers and put the code on Gith

"Faster than C" seems to imply that the author is not seeing the true value of C. It is more than just speed. You can only build so much with Javascript. With C, the possibilities are limitless. For a specific task like parsing, use whatev

Yes, you defined the problem in the opening sentence of your second paragraph. But I disagree that you should not have to maintain a whitelist. What are your email contacts i.e. what is your email address book? You already maintain a lis
