Im guessing the reason you were canned was less to do with historical pricing and entirely about the fact you let them compare with other sites. I am fairly certain amazon hates that with a passion and is in fact why you dont see that featu

There is a few of these services and they all look awesome. The issue has always been for me that I value my points/miles more than I value the convenience of not worrying about my credit card # being stolen. If I could do this with my

I dont see how it couldn't have. Twitch was almost undoubtedly built on the JTV tech stack and staff. Also consider that Amazon owns the justin.tv domain.

One of the issues to overcome is the advantage machines can have in individual unit manipulations vs what a human can do in terms of APM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZawUuAccnc

Im curious what is stopping some other countries (even micro-nations) from instituting a policy that forfeits all patents on medication. Lets say you take the country of Saint Lucia- Could they not spur the economy (among the lowest in the

The lack of a EULA does not mean you can do whatever you want. The DMCA still applies. Also, many sites have a tos that governs what you can and cannot do. Regardless, its not illegal for you the user, but for ABP the company. They are prof

At my last company, we blocked Tor wholesale. In my experience, Tor users are 1% privacy nazis and 99% nefarious actors. I have zero qualms about blocking tor. They wont see ads, they wont buy anything and chances are they are there to do s

My guess as to what will take down ABP will be their 'antiadblock' filter list. Essentially they are writing and maintaining a anti-anti-circumvention tool. I know it might sound crazy, but think about this example- Bob writes a c

I think the most egregious issue that the asus routers had (even up to the RT-N66U) was that when you used the interface to check for a firmware update, it would report you were on the latest update, even if you were multiple patches behind

Thats incorrect. Wikipedia sometimes shows ads asking for donations. Just because its a 'internal' ad means nothing.

Isnt the tax rate 40% ish? That would push 3570 francs a month ( 42840 a year ) to 60k francs/year. Still not 80k, but pretty crazy.

Somewhat off topic, but switzerland is ludicrously expensive. I recently visited for a week in Zurich/Bern and the best way to describe the prices is like you are permanently stuck in a theme park or airport. Starbuck Coffee? $7. Can o

Not sure this will accomplish much. The people sheltering this wealth have attorneys and 'henchmen' who are more than willing to put the assets in their name. Its a massive thing here in Miami Beach (I think half the sales here ar

I run a site that deals with alot of these people. I look at it like a risk vs reward. I think for the vast amount of calamity's that could happen, you only need to 'survive' for about 6 months before things would stabilize.

my reply has to do with the unexpected time difference, not the GPS. When a flight (according to the flat earth) should take 24 hours and only takes 12.

Is this not easy to prove its false? Just take a flight from the southern tip of Chile to South Australia. If the earth is indeed flat, the flight would take 24+ hours. But since they would fly over Antarctica, it only takes ~10. I suppose

For all but the most basic attack, you really want a script putting these IP's into iptables. Using the application itself to block them still requires the connection setup/teardown resources to be used, as well as the applicatio

wrong. you interact with a website. you need to request its files, html, images. You request nothing of a billboard.

If you write a huge javascript library and started selling it, then someone stole it and released it for free- you would issue a DMCA because you own that code. Just because its HTML doesnt make it 'not free'

You have no idea how cheating in games works. They dont touch the exe, they touch the memory. You can not stop game hacks with any first strike system, Its 100% reaction based, like anti virus software.

It was a local app, not remote. Even if I concende that it was remote, what about a wallhack for counterstrike? Should that be legal since it has zero server effect?

Adblockers have specific rules for specific websites. In fact, adblock plus even has a special rule set to bypass blocks set up by websites to stop adblock users.

The device does not communicate with amazon.com until you say "alexa" and the code/hardware for that is all done on the device itself. So its not listening and streaming everything, all the time. It is listening all the time,

Doesnt look like it. Likely part of the reasoning is that the 6580 has a full router built in and the 6141 is just a cable modem. I believe they both run different firmwares as well. Also, that 600k number would be in the millions if it eff

Been working on this for a bit over 6 months. Its a spinoff of our main site, http://everydaycarry.com which is a place where you can find what different people carry with them every day. We figured the format would work just as
