Perhaps existing forms make you select the type of card as an extra check.
That's fine. At the end of the day, I know whether I've actually done anything wrong or not, and I'm not interested in supplicating myself to some overgrown schoolyard bully.
TSV has all those same issues. However, you just have less frequent need of a tab, so most of the escaping edge cases never come up.

Those aspects are defined in RFC 4180 - just a lot of systems don't bother. How would you define a simpler data format?
This statement piques my curiosity. Why not?

Of course not! That would break the Computer.

"Wait, where do I put the CVC, name and expiration date?"
I consider myself somewhat advanced in cooking and nutrition and I can tell you that much that powderized foods lack certain elements that make for a healthy nutrition. There are certain macro structures that do disappear from food when it has been processed in variety of ways.

Also there is was an article about some scientist who has been promoting megadosing on vitamin C caps and there are studies that point to consumption of synthetic vitamins as being one of reasons people develop cancer. After in veggies viamin C comes in a variety of combinations and as they are absorbed there are different supporting nutrients that enable higher absorption.

What has been noted too that people that partake food in a social and positive environment digest it much better then those that just consume it and get on with their day.

I have trouble seeing usefulness of this product for wide spectrum of uses. However if it is a somewhat full meal-ish kind of product if I have little time, for example on my way to an interview and hunger - that would be the killer application for me of said product.
This list is useless, because trying to follow it is impossibly ambitious. Which of these do I need to support for my system to work for X% of users with X+Y % being able to work around the limitations?
It depends on your typography.
I really like this EXCEPT for the awful image loading. It should preload the images up front as a single sprite and swap them in and out as needed.
You need to look at the bigger picture (disclaimer: I do not agree/disagree with what Soylent is/does). Imagine if something like this actually worked, you could feed many people cheaply. Not everyone has the luxury of enjoying their eating experience.
Okay, so you allow me to post an advert with a direct reference to "//myhost.com/ad/campain-456/advert.js" ??? If that's the case, what's to prevent me from changing that JS file?

The safer thing to do, would be to require that the entire payload be delivered together, index.html, with images/js/css etc (uncompressed)... then do the min/merge and inline it all into the html before serving.
> Does vetting necessarily help? If I send some JS through for your adops to traffic, and they call code on my own adserver, what's to stop me from altering it after you have trafficked it and it's already live showing to users?

You can let your advertisers run JavaScript in ads without letting them inject script tags pointing to external URLs. There's no risk in the script changing if you're only hosting inline code they have no access to after review.
This is a great post! Very nicely written and understandable. I really like the way this approach breaks up the work of reacting to, processing, and rendering the results of events into discrete and composable steps. I feel like I'm starting to understand the potential power behind CSP for user interface development.

I do wish that it included a full code listing, though. I'm curious to see how the code looks in its finished state, together with whatever additional helpers need to be defined to accomplish what we see on the page. I'm also interested to know how the protocols the article defines get implemented and used.

Upvoting because this is so beautifully executed and I'd love to see people test this out on their checkout process.

That said, my experience indicates that this is not going to convert well.

To mirror the author's own quote:

"Every question a user has to ask themselves during the checkout process is another reason for them not to complete it."

What's presented here is a drastically different experience from the norm.

It doesn't behave the way you'd expect if you've ever bought anything else online.

Beyond that it has to load images dynamically based on card type which, on a slow or interrupted connection, will create even more confusion.

I love the concept, I love the execution, I just don't think this is going to be a conversion driver.

But I'll test it anyways.
To that point, I would consider putting borders on all the entry fields to make it clear where user data goes. It wouldn't be as pretty, but it might be more usable.
It's a cute interaction, but for credit-card forms you want to be obvious rather than cute. Showing all the fields a user expects to fill out instills confidence and prevents questions like "where do I input my name and card expiry date?" "what about the security code?" "where is the billing address?" etc. People would typically not start filling out their credit-card details with those doubts in their minds.

One additional nitpick - it says "YourBank" at the beginning, so while I was aware this was supposed to a credit-card form because of the title of the submission, it can also be mistaken for a bank account number submission.
I'm not against the police necessarily. They have their role in society. But it is what it is - state sanctioned coercion that when balanced correctly, keeps society humming along.

Unfortunately, after the drug war stuff started ratcheting up + 911, the proper balance has shifted.

The part for me where it breaks down is when you have to flip the card to the back to fill in the CVC. I also hate when fields auto-tab for me. Also, why does it hide the expiration date and name fields initially?
Not a very good reason, if you mistype a cc number it will most likely be completely invalid anyway.
It's more productive but less profitable. The potential "advertisers" would only advertise with this network if they could purchase computing time through it at a lower rate than the spot price on Amazon EC2 -- otherwise they'd get their computation done faster and cheaper going to EC2. At the current spot prices EC2 charges, this network could not pay out within even two orders of magnitude of the CPMs even low-quality sites earn from ads now. The processing power of JavaScript time slices on commodity laptops is just too far apart from running compiled code on even the slowest EC2 instance size. That means it's unlikely for a significant publisher base to develop to sell the ads onto.

If you're interested in working on it, there's at least one or two startups trying it at any given time you could try to work with. http://crowdprocess.com/ is relatively new. Many have had the same idea and eventually closed down.
Could anyone actually (successfully) hold them liable? I'd think it would be their suppliers that would need liability insurance, since they're just repackaging already-approved food items.

Take the money and practical experience. Give yourself solidly to whichever job offer you except, but don't work 70+ hours a week. Work a highly productive 50 to 55 and take the difference to learn new skills. Always have a side project that is helping you master a new domain within CS and related fields.

Spend less money than you make! Save and invest. Put some into a retirement account but also build up a healthy fund for going to college. Set a start date for college. Fall of 2016.

With your experience and proven skills working PT freelance/consulting while going to college should be easy. Work your way through college freelancing about 10-15 hours a week during the regular term. Travel internationally during the summer while still working some remote projects.

Consider a double major combining CS with statistics or computational linguistics or something in the liberal arts.

Also if you find that you really love university, then just keep going and get a Masters.

It would be interesting to see how well it compares against the existing full meal drinks that hospitals use for people who are having problems with solid food.
Agreed. I was arguing against the now-deleted point that Tsarnaev must have had bombs labelled "for terrorist use only". Fireworks are not suspicious or uncommon. It seems more likely that, if she is telling the truth, the police are more interested in the pressure cooker and the backpack than the fireworks.

SAIC is also running domestic surveillance, currently having a facility in Oakland built[1]. The facility is currently being funded by the DHS, being built while no privacy controls or data retention policies are known.

This is an ongoing trend of the names most know as being involved in national level surveillance actively involved on the state and local level too. Another case is Booz Allen Hamilton's processing of digital forensics for local law enforcement via federal funds[2].

Yea, no chance for conflict of interests when firms granted immunity, having access to the world's data, are involved in 'petty' things like domestic surveillance/forensics to assist in prosecutions of the wire-tapped non-immunes.

This is an absolutely horrific trend that must be halted, as in halting literal construction.

His analogy is that some people want to know exactly how their car works, but most people just want to drive. I don't think that's an attack on everybody who's not an automotive engineer.

Also, he is flawed when saying that only about 1 person out of 50 should like this book ... since the largest part of the people exposed to SICP are programmers

He acknowledges that by saying "a big part of the explanation is that the audience is self-selected." But he also seems to be acknowledging that not every programmer needs or wants the depth that SICP provides.

I'm busy. I'm not a good cook. I'm even worse at "keeping a kitchen". I rarely have food around. I want to make food a priority, but it loses against my startup, bouldering, and photography.

I often find myself in scenarios where I /need/ to eat, but have no food. Getting burritos and making pasta gets old. I /love/ eating good food, but for a number of meals, something that takes the thinking out of it would be good for me.

My only complain is that it auto-progresses across sections of inputs (between month and year in the expiration for example) it does not auto-progress when you reach the end of one form. I found that jarring. If you are going to auto-progress in one place, you probably should across the board.
Oh wow. I love little historic things like this. Hopefully, it never goes away.
Problems come up when you try to parse files other people write. Not everyone follows RFC 4180.

Plus you've got encodings. If you're accepting CSVs from users, they'll generally come from Excel, which will produce different encoding in different circumstances.
This is just a story but a friend of a friend who had been fed soy milk as a baby, developed all kinds of food allergies even from things like chocolate, sugar, etc. She can't eat anything!
San Francisco, CA; Full-time, permanent

<--Ruby/ JavaScript Polyglot-->
SocialChorus
www.SocialChorus.com
-----------------------------------------------

You:
You are a Senior Software Developer interested in Ruby and JavaScript, who enjoys being challenged daily and always wants to improve your programming skills. You do agile (concentration in Extreme Programming), test-driven, and pair programming to ensure you find great solutions quickly.

The Position:
Our stack consists of two user-facing Rails applications with Backbone on the client. We also have a series of services written in both node.js and pure Ruby. This means our days are a combination of green-field work and legacy code refactoring. A lot of our challenges are around managing the asynchronicity of service-oriented architecture and we are starting to have opinions about how to make that easier, as well as the young gems to support those opinions: https://github.com/socialchorus/cumuli, https://github.com/socialchorus/superbolt. We’re also starting to tackle our big data problem and our design is moving more and more toward the hexagonal side of Rails.

Us:
At SocialChorus, we want to invest in our devs and give them the opportunity to become stronger by offering them courses, taking them to conferences (in & out of the Bay Area), and bringing in industry gurus, like Sandi Metz, to mentor the team.

We believe that people should be dedicated to their jobs, but also lead a balanced work/personal life. Our development environment is casual, flexible and full of people who are passionate about their job. The office is located on one of the busiest streets in San Francisco, allowing access to various cafes and places to grab a bite. We also have a stocked fridge and a never ending shelf of snacks, so you will not go hungry.

Perks:
Other than having all the fun stuff that a start up has, we also offer great benefit packages. This is a full-time, salaried position offering stock options, paid vacation, and benefits: medical, dental and 401k. The position is located onsite at our office in San Francisco, CA. We actively promote diversity and encourage all qualified candidates to apply.

If this sounds like your type of job and SocialChorus is the next place you want to work, please send us an email at alexandra@socialchorus.com
And for bonus points, the card issuer is known from the first digits. But perhaps a copyright issue to display logos.

How does Anti-fragile contradict lightcatcher's point-of-view? I understood him to say, simply, that terrorist attacks are from Extremistan, while car accidents are from Mediocristan, thus they aren't comparable phenomena.
Square on iOS has had a similar input since it first came out. Its a great way to enter credit card numbers on a mobile phone where you don't have a tab key etc.

Please do. It's true that "it doesn't behave the way you'd expect if you've ever bought anything else online", but the (somewhat rational in a business sense) fear of it is why we're stuck with things that suck, the "first designs" that got popular and that now we're too afraid to change.

That is as irrelevant as saying, "An M-66 is an illegal firecracker, banned in all states where firecrackers are illegal." Are they legal in the state where Catalano resides? Even if they are, it only takes a nosy neighbor to make a phone call about explosives to generate an overboard police response.
I am the developer in the basement that comes to save everything and we do exist.
I'm currently reading "The Box" by Marc Levinson off of Bill Gates' summer reading list. There was a very similar patent situation with container crane couplings. One x-factor with the patent decision may have been standards committees. I'm assuming that the seatbelt coupling was standardized as much as possible to make repairs easier. Standards committees (from what I've gleamed from "The Box") avoid endorsing patented technology. Abiding by standards committees can effect the level of government aide the car companies are eligible for, among other things. So the car companies really may have had to chose between adopting a less effective, but standardized, design, or ask Volvo to release the patent.

I'm sure there's someone on HN who's more qualified to speak about this particular case, but there have certainly been times where patent disputes are that black and white.
My argument on patent reform, is why not only allow software patents for a year (perhaps two). Being the first on the market gives you 90% of the advantage and it keeps you innovating to push further faster, while at the same time allowing competition to spring up and keeping lawsuits low.
