Not too many ccTLDs. AI comes to mind (Anguilla, expensive for obvious reasons), but it’s still cheaper than .CD. Many gTLDs are expensive due to their target demographics or to dissuade bad actors (eg .auto, .bank).

Echo devices work for this as well, and can be accessed via any other Echo or through the Alexa app. Presumably much cheaper than HomePod Mini too; I’ve seen the Echo Flex for as low as $10.

So if I understand this correctly, they didn’t have the correct understanding/skills to manage a Mongo DB, so they switched to one they were more familiar with. I wonder what this ultimately cost. Migrating from a document model to a r

Generally companies prefer if you find bugs and disclose them before malicious parties find and exploit them. Most websites have a “responsible disclosure” policy. If you can’t find this linked on their main page, you can often find it at

Not to mention the climate. There are many places that aren't walkable simply because they are frozen for most of the year. Cars are a tool to overcome that in the same way that air conditioning allows businesses to operate in Arizona

Is there any reason why energy nations like Saudi Arabia could not compete in green energy? Sure, they can supply fossil fuels from a bounty more plentiful than other countries. But Asia does not lack lithium or silicon.

Even if you are able to get palatable speeds, bandwidth caps are an issue for some people. For example, I'm stuck with 40GB/month in rural Ontario (ie, 5 minutes outside of a city), which means I share roughly 1300mb per day wi

I didn't dive much deeper, but the header text says "Narrated by real voices". I guess that's why it costs $11/500 words, which is an order of magnitude higher than TTS solutions.

How does it do that? Mozilla spends a great deal of effort to make sure this type of fingerprinting isn’t possible.
