    This is true. But I wouldn't say it is an absolute justification for using iframes, as if that was the only possible way to approach the problem Stripe is trying to solve. Maybe it…

    But we've tried to regulate this. The telephone has some utility besides just being a marketing channel. With TV, it's a lost cause.

    And, correct me if I'm wrong, they've been delivering that level of convenience for many years and without any need for iframes. All due respect for Stripe, iframes are a potential…

    Cheers. I have installed Go before and messed around with it. I agree it's pretty good as far as being self-contained and straightforward. I just don't have the energy to keep chas…

    Have you even looked at the rules? Paper sizes, fonts, lengths, deadlines. Do you need to be a lawyer to understand rules like those? You are only interested in what they say about…

    Noncommercial internet. Original style. Make the internet more like the telephone network, not the TV network. People do not like to be hounded by telemarketers day and night.

    Maybe opting out is not how to stop this abhorrent practice of selling personal information. There is much more at stake than sites just selling email address lists. There is much …

    I'm too lazy to install Go just to try this (I would need to, right?) but reading through the docs this looks far more appealing to me than tent.io. Nice work, at least with respec…

    What are those acronyms developers like to use? rtfm, utsl, etc.? :) There is a link to the court rules in the article. This is the definitive source, besides knowing clerks person…

    Not sure if it's relevant but one of the major "DNS providers" (that preceded Google) also chooses to domicile their operations in Ireland. They could just as well locate anywhere,…

    Does Javascript run outside the browser and outside of a platform like Node.js? I want stuff that can run on bare metal as well as on top of other code (software platform). Persona…

    The problem is the open internet. There are ways to establish connections to a peer-to-peer overlay that take this out of the equation. The ISP is unlikely to block UDP traffic on …

    I thought about this and I agree. Sort of. There was a time when no one cared about Apple computers. It's one thing to not care about something that you are not (made) aware of. It…

    Have they changed it? ITA used to be very popular with the FlyerTalk MR crowd. I used to use it for the searching flights stage (getting info but not booking). I think the best mat…

    The biggest problem I see that has plagued software design and the neverending quest for features as a means of recruiting users is... Large, monolithic do-it-all programs. Users t…

    You're making assumptions. About how things would work and about users and what they can and cannot do. Typical online discussion. Lots and lots of assumptions. I do not understand…

    Yeah, that's usually how it'd done. But from what I've read (not just from the Nature article, I did actually read his papers years ago), this guy basically founded the entire fiel…

    IMHO, Bargh should redo some of his old expts himself. If he's so sure they are repeatable, then why not? His stuff is foundational to the entire field.

    Do you think there will be lots of challenges though? The reexamination procedure will be different. Alas, if I understand corectly, it is still going to be expensive, even just to…

    Are you suggesting his employer doesn't know the recipients? Hmm, if true, I wonder what sort of email that might be. Not the type I'm interested in.

    I never said there should be a lookup system. Where are you seeing that? I said there isn't one and people still manage to get by. The other commenter was suggesting looking up add…
