Viewing profile — Stealth-

ALOT of apps are starting to do this. I believe Snapchat initially was the company that began doing it. When a site like Facebook uses your number to identify you, this feature act…

I agree! I found this version to be much easier for some reason. Possibly the brain is quicker to recognize and match the colours than when I'm forcing myself to look for numbers?

It can, but they explicitly choose not to in Snapchat, afaik.

I don't totally see the point to these arguments. The inherent nature of the technology we have means that if they can view it once, they can view it as long and as many times as t…

In app purchases are fine, but be HONEST about it. Not being upfront about the costs of your game directly misleads the customer and, in my opinion, is a terrible and abusive way t…

This is great. Proper cryptography is the solution to so many of the problems the modern internet is facing right now, but the key problem with cryptography is that it is never use…

I'm not an expert on this, but I believe that at the VM user level they would see wiped data because of the internal mapping. I think physical analysis of the drive would be requir…

The term "disc scrub" makes little to no sense in terms of SSDs, which makes this issue even more complicated. People who work in the disc recovery field have been dealing with thi…

VERY interesting, thanks for sharing! I'll have to play around with this a bit...

I imagine it assumes a header like X-Requested-By has not been manipulated. You can safely assume that the referrer, or other headers, have not been manipulated. There is no way fo…

I think it's important to note that this is a bug that effects older browsers only. Modern IE, Chrome, and Firefox have security measures that do not allow scripts to capture value…

Unfortunately, this is what happens to online communities. Particularly those run by teenagers. I've been a member of a number of communities that have suffered deaths in very simi…

Hehe, when I started reading I was very appreciative of the fact I was prewarned by the "DESIGN CONCEPT" lettering.

I think it's important to keep this in context, especially for Snapchat. Snapchat is an app . Their website contains almost nothing. I bet a VERY small percentage of people who use…

After the preauth, you're required to take it out before you can start pumping.

Honestly, most of my HN reading is because I need a mind-break from whatever I'm focusing on. I find it's a great way to take a break, and still learn a few things while I'm at it.…

Just finishing going through this in my province. The latest transition is that all gas pumps now suddenly require me to leave the card in. Yay for Chip and Pin!

My point is that the people that get the benefits are not necessarily the people that need them the most. I've seen many families with status that did not need the money, but took …

Growing up in a poorer neighbourhood, the native friends I had were able to play football, have school lunches, go on fieldtrips, and go to university when I could not because they…

As another resident of Canada, I have to completely disagree with you. I have to pay $20,000 for my schooling. My first nations friends pay nothing, it's covered by tax payers. Thi…

I do. Your typical user does not.

I believe the write concern default is under the responsibilities of the driver -- not the Mongo Daemon.

You can tie private information, such as your telephone number (for SMS) and various emails to your account that you can associate with alerts on various reminders you set up. It's…

I think most people would prefer this, even regular people. The problem is that, at least right now, doing that yourself is an _awful_ lot of work. And it's definitely too much wor…
