Why low-interest account?

Practice. Lots of it.

Also, take your favorite framework and look underneath the covers to see how others have been doing it.

Visa/MasterCard is pushing for EMV/Chip & Pin technology. Previously, the liability of fraud is on the payment network. Visa/MasterCard have announced a liability shift from the payment network to the merchant for fraud if the merchant doesn't adopt chip & pin.

The rollout date is supposed to be Oct 2013.

As an end user, you are not able to protect from this type of fraud. That's why the liability doesn't reside with you.

Kozmo definitely still resonates with me. I was a huge fan of them while I was back in college. Where else can you order Ben & Jerry's at 11PM and get a refund because they were late on their delivery?

I guess it's personal preference, but I've never found the appeal of working in the gaming industry. Seems so tedious.

Google doesn't release their IP ranges. It can come from any IP.

Looks like H211 pays NASA over $113K/month to rent the hangars.

Hah, that's great. I shouldn't have been surprised that it exists. My question is: did you register that or is there a bot out there registering domains that appear in comments?

[wpietri → IbJacked]

Whoa. To me, this looks like domain squatters.

The whois info:

   Domain Name: ISISTUMBLERDOWNDOWN.COM
   Registrar: HEBEI GUOJI MAOYI (SHANGHAI) LTD DBA HEBEIDOMAINS.COM
   Whois Server: whois.hebeidomains.com
   Referral URL: http://www.hebeidomains.com
   Name Server: NS1.LOCALHOSTY.COM
   Name Server: NS2.LOCALHOSTY.COM
   Status: ok
   Updated Date: 30-aug-2013
   Creation Date: 30-aug-2013
   Expiration Date: 30-aug-2014

And the IP resolves to:

  NetRange:       69.43.128.0 - 69.43.207.255
  CIDR:           69.43.192.0/20, 69.43.128.0/18
  NetName:        ARIN-CASTLE-ALLOC
  Ref:            http://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-69-43-128-0-1
  OrgName:        Castle Access Inc
  Address:        9606 Aero Drive
  City:           San Diego
  StateProv:      CA

And some of this traces back to trellian.com, "SEO and Website Marketing Solutions."

No, I didn't register it. Actually, it was still available when I posted that comment.

On: Show HN: Contacts finds email addresses

[tazzy531]

"For every e-mail we show you where we have found it - this way you can check if this is good contact or not."

Adding a comma after "For every e-mail" will make this sentence much more clear.

How do people here value the opportunity costs of living in a major tech center?

With the lower cost of living of not living in a tech center, you also give up other non-monetary things.

I would think that a lot of innovation comes from being surrounded by like minded people and the access to tech talks and networking events.
