I would argue it is zero sum ("you've got some fraud" vs "you have no fraud") if there is any great volume of transactions and what's being sold is valuable, and/or marketable at a…

Sure, maybe you offer "zero fraud" from a chargebacks-line-item-on-the-balance-sheet perspective. The impacts of fraud on customers' perception of a company, and the effects those …

Those aren't interchange fees. Those are payment processing fees...Bolt is paying the interchange.

Fraud liability absorbed by a service provider isn't "zero fraud." It is: "you don't get charged directly for chargebacks and other financial penalties, but your brand is still at …

I use five little 4oz paper cups (also not a joke).

I think that's a bit of a reach. That malaise may have contributed to certain aspects of the conglomeration of groups/sounds that came to be called grunge, but let's not forget the…

I cook ~80% of my meals. Generally speaking I try to eat out infrequently, and when I do I seek out items I would not typically cook for myself (or lack the expertise and equipment…

Fun. It'd be nice if there were some kind of transition to display the bot's shots.

My kingdom for a sarcasm detection algorithm!

Imagine, or hope?

Disorganized pseudo-infantry (i.e. pissed off individuals with guns) will always be inferior to organized paramilitary forces with armor.

Probably not t-shirts at Gators games.

Maybe the MRAP was requested in the event that the Puyallup Fair (the WA state fair for the uninitiated) gets totally out of control. RE: the meth labs, etc. it would be interestin…

I myself am not blessed with the gift of faith, and I don't particularly enjoy Rails, but I greatly appreciate your making your very mature passion project available to one and all…

Top flight professional cyclists with larger muscle mass (relative to their more slightly-built counterparts) can produce watts in that range for several minutes. See: http://www.c…

The little animation on the homepage is pretty great.

Eunu.ch - solid gold. {{ 100-percent-off-sale-joke }}

This is a trail-poacher's dream. It'd be wonderful to have this cross-indexed with any extant publicly available data sources (state/national parks, property lines etc.) to try to …

I code at approximately the same rate as the core rope memory weavers wove. I wouldn't trust mine to help people fly to the moon, though. That's incredible!

"Figurehead" doesn't exactly apply in this case given her role specifically entailed the orchestration, coordination, and authorization of unconscionable (at worst) and morally rep…

All this time I thought the line item reading "roll my own dropbox clone with a raspberry pi or something" on my Someday Maybe Projects list might always stay buried low on the sta…

I agree. Good tools could enable a second/separate tier of professionals to create a disruptive presence in the areas dominated by Bloomberg users. It would be simple to expect tha…
