Well, I completely disagree. Compared to developing sites 15-20 years ago, I think it's a walk in the park now. I feel like I can achieve far more with less code, the tools are more powerful, the code is easier to read, and there is mu

There is advertising on Google Maps and YouTube, and if I recall correctly, YouTube has been profitable in recent years, and I imagine Maps will be the same if it's not already. It's hard to find numbers online, but it seems like

It's funny, because if you run AdSense on your website, Google has very strict guidelines about not misleading users and making a clear distinction between advertisements and your content. However, when Google shows ads on their site,

I rented an AirBnB filled with a few thousand dollars worth of Sonos speakers. Some issues... 1. I was traveling with an older Android phone (Android 4.4.4). I couldn't install the latest version of the app. I tried installing an older

I stayed in one AirBnB where there was a book on a shelf in the living room. I opened it, and it was the name, passport number, date, and some other information I can't recall for every past guest.

What's the bottom 20% of bios? "If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best"? Are you suggesting that attractive people have terrible bios? If so, you're probably right and it would be a

In that case people would swipe on just the attractive users and on every bio without reading them. A simple fix would be to only allow users to swipe on 20% of the photos and 20% of the bios.

Yep, just do a clean install. I needed to do the same for my partner on one of her 32gb systems. It's since been running and updating fine for the past year or two.

I made about $200 per day and had 500 clicks per day from AdSense, steady for years. Suddenly it dropped to $30 per day and 1-5 clicks overnight. Traffic was consistent, about a million daily page views, and 40k active registered users a da

My concern is why they need to sell them all. Take those 20 battery testers that all cost $7 and look identical, test them out, and sell the best one. As the consumer I'll save time, receive a better product, and likely be more confide

I wanted to find another example of the lack of quality control, so I just searched on Amazon for full grain leather belts. I opened one of the cheaper options for $10 and the description says "100% Full Grain Leather". That seems

Agreed, they need to curate their store, and take some responsibility and pride in what they sell. Need a battery tester? Take your pick from... * VTECHOLOGY Battery Checker - https://www.amazon.com/Battery-VTECHOLOGY-Batter

Go to Etsy.com. It's great for leather products. I bought lots of belts from brand names growing up, and they all quickly fell apart. Then I learned about full grain leather. I talked with a local person I found on Etsy, provided the m

This sounds very similar to Etsy or Amazon Handmade. https://www.amazon.com/Handmade/ I imagine companies like Shopify could easily compete in this market too by curating stores that use their service.
