Thankfully Git is a decentralized platform so it needn't actually interrupt anyone's workflow. Unless, of course, they're not using Git properly. Also it looks like they're back.

Rob, I think that if you re-read knowtheory's comment you may find that your reply does not address its substance - and that, in fact, you are in broad agreement. Knowtheory cited …

You'd be surprised how many vendors and merchants simply do not care. I was employed with an e-commerce vendor that indefinitely stored CVV2 in plaintext (among other numbers).

Why? Everyone who upvoted this is an employee of that company.

I'll give you sistas. But ladies? Really? Why?

How's that working out for Best Buy?

Only one minor point from me: the Dan Shapiro quote is a bit off. > To literally handicap yourself by 50 percent is insanity. From the figures I've seen, the handicap is in the 25-…

This needs to be more than just updates from friends. Facebook does that well enough. Simply organizing a certain type of update into a stream isn't a sufficient reason for people …

I'd be curious to know the kinds of industries female founders in NYC gravitate towards - or if there isn't a clear cluster at all, and it's a fairly even distribution. If it's the…

As has been pointed out, I was referring to Geocoder's rates. I had the same confusion though. The request for donations certainly makes it seem like they are beneficent, but they …

They charge $500 for their data set. An easy way to combat this litigation would be to release the set gratis. Let the information flow.

Nothing overly ambitious. A jQuery plugin ( https://github.com/jdjkelly/jQuery-haversine ) and a Chrome extension ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fljocfllbkbekpoaih... …

Superb. As a fellow Torontonian, programmer, and just a guy with a mom, this story warms me up. She sounds badass.

This is Hacker News. Learn the etiquette.

Fantastic work. Much more in tune with what ought to be the spirit of hacking! Building, growing, and innovating on each others' work. Are you going to separate this interface into…
