Imagine of Google+ had had a proper API for automatic posting. If I remeber right, there still wasn't one when Pages dropped. So unlike Twitter and Facebook, I couldn't just set up my Wordpress site to feed all my posts to Google

It was for me for sure. I had someone a few years previous say they had never seen a bigger Google fanboy. With the death of Reader I pretty much slowly pulled away and barely use Google anything these days. Another commentor mentioned, it

Plenty of people were pointing out that is a scam as well.

I really don't understand this trend that has popped up int he last few years of putting the Password on a separate page from the username. The Password manager usually catches it but sometimes does not. It just needlessly adds an ex

I barely pay attention to usernames, much less Karma, on HN or Reddit.

Sounds like the bad memory has something to do with it. I still think about some conventions I went to where I got to meet friends I had only known through the internet. They were like ten years ago. I went to a concert in 2019 for a band

While I do think minimalism is overrated, and probably a side effect of the overpriced housing market the post mentions, experiences are definitely a better investment, if it's something you WANT to experience, and not just experience

I find Leo seems to come and go with being annoying. You can tell when he's stressed or something in the background becomes he gets really awful. I kind of wonder if it would be better if he were in front of the camera a bit less in

I've always called it TWIT. Which is also the name of the network, which has a bunch of other shows besides TWIT.

You could also potentially build spam email lists too, to target users of that web site, if you automated some system that guessed emails addresses and filed away the ones that come back as registered.

If it's philosophical then it doesn't matter, it's just short sighted. They just see it as "The government taking my money" vs "at least I own this semi, even if it's useless it's mine"

8k/ year for a car? You could pay one off in like 2/3rds of that if you buy something used.

I spent the first 5 years of my career making 20-25k / year, family of 5. This wasn't some crappy McJob either. It was pretty tight at times but we made it work. I switched to a different company and make around 4-3x that now and

The Subreddit is incredibly toxic in nature and immediately bans anyone who is even remotely not participating in the circle jerk. I am talking even the tiniest hint of criticism. It's hardly a good source for anything.

That's not how Science is supposed to work, you don't judge science based on who has the best lawyers and most money, you base it on what's observable in the world.

FWIW, I often order online due to availability. A lot of times I can't find what I am looking for locally, at all. Wal-Mart is the worst offender, their selection across the board is more and more homogeneous and dull.

Eh, the 1 egg is already kind of a fudgy number anyway. Especially using anything but standard store bought eggs. The farm eggs I get can be very small to double the size of a small one easily.

What else became big starting in the 90s? Hmm, maybe technology and the internet, and the ability for quick and easy communication on a global scale? A massive shift in job types to more technical fields, and less jobs of a hazardous and d

The problem with this model, especially in music, is that music is way more reusable than a TV show. So in the end, if everyone follows this trend, you'll have to subscribe to 3-4 different services at $10/month to get a complete

It's more Google really isn't good at this "people" thing. They see people as an issue and try to genericize everything into an algorithm then wonder why it doesn't get popular or run well.

ZNC is great. I run it on a Pi so I don't even really have to worry about reboots or anything on another machine.
