Instead of $1/day, do $365/year to limit transaction fees. You could even offer to let them withdraw the dividend each month as an allowance or let it reinvest.
I was thinking the same thing. Who is really going to read these updates? If I was forced to do this at a company, I'd probably automate responses with a bot of my own. I'd call it the schitt-bot.
It could be worse: PayPal and their 3.1 MB Child_Snowflakes_8_V2.mp4
Not really. One could be deaf or blind from birth, yet fully intelligent. It's more a matter of getting sensory from the world into the brain. That sensory may be visual, auditory, touch, etc. The brain is very plastic…
It seems a lot of consultancies follow this pattern: 1. Hate permanent job. 2. Start consultancy. 3. Spend half the day finding work/collecting bills; other half programming. 4. Eventually find reliable client with…
In reality though, I'd like to know what the author did for health insurance when he quit his job weeks/months after having a baby. Medical risk is very high during this period.. looks like he is based in Canada (not…
One of the features of KeePass is that you never see or type an actual password. You simply hit CTRL-C to copy the pw to memory and paste into the form. This is a guard against key loggers and visual snooping.
What does this mean: "extraction of KeePass 2.x password database information from memory"? When is KeePass data held in memory? When the program is simply running or only when you copy a password to the clipboard?…
I've been on two interviews recently, and both saw experience in .NET as a negative. I found myself having to down-play experience in .NET in both cases, in order to guide the discussion toward more applicable skills…
Agreed. Sellers and buyers of domain names (or web sites) selling for at least $300 should use an escrow service. The fee is around $25 and can usually be split between parties. Just think about the price you're…
That's the problem with oil and gold. No dividends. So you sit on it for a couple of years, earning nothing. Still, oil is a finite resource and is very sensitive to world events, war, etc.
Audio books has made "reading" a hobby for me. I never thought I was the type that really enjoyed reading a good book. After switching from radio to audio books while driving, traffic has almost become enjoyable (not…
Same. Even if they did, just take a screenshot of the "Course Records" screen that proves you took the class and the grade. Besides, you can still download the Statement of Accomplishment.
I just finished this book a couple weeks ago. It was definitely a great one. Although, a difficult book to read, purely from the perspective of the topic. Growing old and/or dying are both topics people tend to ignore.…
Being able to edit files from any physical location is nice. Although you already get this from just using github/bitbucket, for the most part. I think the biggest drawback to an online IDE is the development box…
"so I implemented a small neural network and trained it to sort 10 6-bit numbers, which was easy to do to my surprise" Does anyone know what the inputs and outputs of a neural network that sorts numbers would look like?
Yes, but their original bug was from dynamically loading routes from an external source. I don't see how Express is to blame for this. Moving to Restify is not a solution, but they state having different reasons for…
Mosquitoes are a food source for many animals, including: fish, birds, spiders, and bats. Maybe those animals could find something else to eat, but there sure are a lot of mosquitoes - imagine how many get eaten.
"But a malformed packet could also be an emergent signal. A self-created packet." If a program sent out a malformed packet, this would indicate an error in the sender's program. Let's assume that a receiving program…
The probability grid is very neat. One question though, it looks like Ship.DIRECTION_VERTICAL and Ship.DIRECTION_HORIZONTAL might be flipped. It seems consistent, so it's ok. Just the label "vertical" actually means…
How does this not violate the terms of your affiliate agreements? Are the video ads from direct clients of yours or through a general affiliate program?
Or replace writing to the file system with storing as a json object on one of many online (eg. cloud) providers.
A sump-pump that sends an email when it detects water and/or runs. Would be great if it included a humidity measurement too.
If a comet breaks up into several pieces, will those pieces continue to travel next to each other in the same direction, maybe re-combining via gravity back into a single rock? Or will they just drift apart?
