    Can you actually prevent an app from using one or more of those permissions? Like can I give it permission to my camera but not to the call log?

    There was a site, I can't find it now, that had the anonymized question data for sale but I think it was $20K or in that ballpark. Also I think they do license the data to universi…

    To be fair, from what I recall while I was there, the blog was also instead of paying for a PR firm and having Sam going on morning talk shows that didn't really hit our demographi…

    Have they participated in any more? It seems like one off investments by giant PE firms probably aren't helpful to any startup that doesn't already have a personal connection to th…

    Why are graylists that horrible? All it does is require the sending server to retry 5 minutes later; I don't see how that would have any impact on a business unless they are in the…

    Offhand, HSBC and the Royal Bank of Canada in Canadian currency. Pretty sure you can open an investment account with Interactive Brokers in multiple currencies although that's not …

    Huh? I know lots of people who have bank accounts in other currencies. Any taxes due on them obviously have to be paid in USD but there's no inherent law against it afaik.

    I changed my mail server to accept . instead of +'s so now the emails I generate work through pretty much any validation.

    Contact your local cogent rep. If your dedicated server is in a building with a cogent feed you can probably get a line to it. I'm not sure their current non sales pricing and that…

    Good luck changing that in the US. If you got waiters subject to the normal minimum wage then there might be potential. Hopefully you don't take your dislike of a system out on som…

    Given you can get 1Gbps from Cogent for ~1K/mo (at least that's the price I heard last time they were having a sale) that works out to $0.003/GB, so both are making a massive amoun…

    So why are you a shareholder? Or why haven't you attempted to change the policies from long term thinking to quarterly thinking like most companies these days?

    I think interactive brokers is one of the common choices for people who don't have the resources/money to get direct exchange connections or similar.

    Assuming they haven't updated it since I was there, its an auth token that expires after a specific amount of time (I want to say 2 weeks but its been a long time)

    When you swipe your credit card it tends to end up batch processed not in real time but yeah that does eventually go through a mainframe. Other than that I agree gooby. :)

    Is it possible to disable this feature so that people can't randomly commit code to a core repo on a team?

    I think he means rack mount home servers, those are pretty nuts because of the noise that most rack mount cases make. Figure in a 1U case you normally have at least 4 15K RPM fans …

    So as far as security for email goes you prefer people to outsource to Google Apps or similar rather than likely screwing up and having an insecure configuration? Just curious what…

    Do you advocate setting up something like google authenticator (RFC6238 I think?)if you run your own email server or does it make more sense to use client side SSL certificates for…

    Why would a merchant account provider have your personal social security number/be doing credit checks? Assuming its an incorporated C corp?

    The US wouldn't get a cut of that unless the exchange rate really sucked and that £20,000 was worth more than $90,000. Plus any UK taxes you paid on it (assuming there is a taxatio…
