You need to spend $3333 to earn back the Prime membership for 3% cashback, or $2000 for 5% cashback, not an amount I may reach every year..
Yeah America has a totally irrational credit scoring. It makes no sense whatsoever. If I never needed credit, then I don't have a history thus I have a bad score... go figure.
If the password is too short, an attacker can brute force the hash by simply trying all 6 character combinations of allowed password characters, provided that the hashes get leaked or hacked, which happens quite a lot…
Not that I'm a fan of USB Micro, but there are cables for sale that have a reversible USB Micro plug, as well as a reversible USB plug on the other end, however I have no experience with their durability.
No the regulation is that all chargers use USB, the other end of the cable doesn't matter. The situation that arose out of that is that you can charge pretty much any phone with any USB charger, which was the intent.…
The build quality is definitely good. However I am very unpleased with the temperature sensor, it seems to only be accurate to more than 1 degree, with the software further adding a tolerance in when to turn on/off the…
Yeah I lost my preorder for PS4 over that issue, K-mart just cancelled my preorder because they thought my email address was suspicious. mind you this was at the time when you'd have to wait months for the machine to be…
Because when you start confusing pattern recognition and neural net training with "intelligence" and "learning" and "consciousness" then everybody who doesn't know enough about the technology will get wrong…
No I am actually skeptical myself, I was hoping somebody here would explain the real cause of their findings :)
Container size influences memory usage, which is an important concern: http://www.stackengine.com/container-memory-usage-or-size-ma...
But it's unbounded wasteful, why does nobody get that. There is no correlation with proof of work energy spent and actual value of transactions. Even worse, proof of work is almost exponentially getting worse over time.
Yeah, it's really awesome. However not complete, but I've added a lot of functionality especially the coverer, there's a pull request for it if you want to take a look.
As long as science keeps thinking this, we won't have to worry about the singularity any time soon.
Europeans tend to look at the root cause to fix the issue, not declare war on the symptoms like Americans.
Artists are double dipping? Boy I hope you don't run into an artist who knows that you just said this...
Apple wants to give it away for free, not the artists. Apple needs the artists, hence they need to pay. Revenue rising with the new service will eat into the other revenue streams from sales. Subscription revenue has…
In real life there are more possibilities in between 0 and 1.. Also look at how its done in other countries. Apparently americans can go to Germany to study for free in a recent article. Absurd indeed.
Yes it is wrong, paying the cost of education at cost (for a government), or paying students to pay market prices (inflated by perception of value) is a huge difference. Which do you think Bernie Sanders was implying?
Why does HAProxy need reloading of config change, can't it load the new config do a diff and apply only that? Or alternative ways of having a web frontend for HAProxy to make changes to the config piecemeal without…
Being dutch I think that the roads that share bikes and cars in the Netherlands are actually not by design but by necessity. Especially in Amsterdam where there simply is not enough space. If you look in rural areas if…
130,000 pages released, yet every commenter here is talking about their own beliefs.. incredible since this is supposedly a science community.. I clicked to see if anyone had looked at any of the pages yet and dug up…
Reminds me of Brad Fitzpatrick's camlistore http://camlistore.org
It would be cool if bitcoins seized in one crime would be compensating bitcoins stolen in another crime: Mt.Gox ..
I agree that this is the most interesting thing to watch for, whether apps will go with ApplePay or IAP. However it seems that credit card transactions also have a fixed per transaction fee of 19 cents or higher, not…
Computers are inherently imprecise? Floating point is imprecise, yeah lets generalize that to the entire computer..
