So I found this article [1] about domain name transfer. Which clarified one doubt that I had. As I was under the impression that you were hopelessly stuck at paying rent for life m…

I'm a bit confused about the whole DNS thing. Namely when I buy a domain name from who exactly am I buying it from? Put in other words, what's the best way to buy a domain name and…

Do you still have the previous versions of the site? I did like the places/travel pages.

I feel saddened by this this. But at the same time I see Japan in a very complicated situation with China expanding its maritime influence in the region. If it doesn't flex its mil…

How does Dwolla differ from Stripe?

I agree with all of the above but I think you missed another important aspect about money. Engineers in SV are paid bucket loads of money. They can afford to take one year of to tr…

Could anyone comment on the Linux kernel's limitations that makes containers insecure as compared to BSD jails or Solaris/IllumOS zones? Is there anything on Linux roadmap that wil…

I also experienced the same thing. Could someone explains the tech aspect of this? If noscript is enabled then how is code being executed? HTML and CSS tricks?

This looks useful. I'm just wondering if it's possible to install Linux on any of these and everything works out of the box. It would be nice if the specific CPU model number was l…

I haven't tested it yet but this looks great! I was kind of looking for something like this. I'll give it a try in a week or so. Hopefully the problems will be fixed. IMO the only …

Is your opinion that more data will solve this? If so, I'm guessing Google, maybe Facebook too, has plenty of data. What else is holding them back?

Discrimination is a funny thing. We think we've solved it all (or at least seen the light on what's right and wrong) when it comes to race, gender, religion. Yet prejudices and dis…

Science trumping nature. (pun not intended but given the political circumstances the expression does give pause for thought, maybe a better term would be:) Determinism over randomn…

Like you said with TrueCrypt the key stays in RAM and is vulnerable to attacks. Using a hardware based key makes digital attacks impossible AFAIK. Although it's still subject to ph…
