I'm pretty sure that most the programmers, who we consider to be at the top of the professional ladder, won't be able to check off even 30% of those "achievements".

The only thing a site like this can "streamline" is the weeding out of the truly incompetent people, pretending to be programmers. But I'd argue that it's not a very hard task anyway. So, while solving the challenges will be fun for the app

That's $12-$24 per year, not month. And they can do it simply because of sheer volume. Everyone has to deal with passwords so their market is humongous. If you sell to teachers that's not the case.

Actually, you're right. For some reason, I was thinking that I have to pick a limit for the database field but, of course, the password is hashed so it doesn't matter how long it is.

It's obviously not copy-paste and why would it be so hard to believe that both Goldman and Salomon had the same practices of removing authors names from papers?

Can anyone explain why would you want a password longer than 16 characters? Even if it's unsalted, all lowercase letters and md5 hashed, it's impossible to bruteforce crack it. And people who use 16 character passwords are unlikely to have

Yes, the mayhem at the beginning is expected but I'm curious if the trial/error process could actually bring some sound stable system at the end. I'm inclined to think that this won't happen because most of the people in the bitcoin "econom

I wish it was as easy as that. Real deadlines work because there is some external factor taking place. For example, you get fired by your boss if you don't put that important report on his desk by tomorrow. Or you'll be embarrassed if you d

Well, that makes the anti-helmet case even stronger. If the most dangerous riders from the pool were in the 30% that stopped biking and if the helmets were actually helpful, wouldn't it make sense for the reduction in mortality rate to be b

I'm one of the cool-looking europeans :) I've started to bike recently and decided not to wear a helmet after reading few articles that suggested there is practically no evidence at all that bike helmets help you in any way. But most convin
