What problems are you having using stub_status? I'm using the nginx mainline PPA and didn't have a problem enabling it.

It also avoids security problems with fraudsters creating official looking emails - "comcastsupport" and the like.

I've noticed I'll get more feedback when there's a recruiter between me and the employer. But yes, it's quite frustrating when all you get is "not a good fit" when as far as you can tell the interview went well

Paint or wallpaper that blocks signals are perfectly legal, so I'm not sure what you mean by "illegal to block wifi/cellular signals". You can't transmit and jam others' signals, but that's different.

So the supported environments are available at https://www.ottoproject.io/docs/apps/index.html , and they're Go, PHP, Node.JS, Ruby, and Docker. I hope Python gets added to that list as a first class environme

Yes, there's a distinction between jamming and blocking. The FCC controls what you transmit, not what kind of walls you put up.

Bitcoin was one way to bypass currency controls. The other I heard was gambling in Macau - act as if you lost $100k, but take say $80k out of China.

Shame about the new buttonless clickpads on Thinkpads. I'm using one now, and it's definitely more of a hassle than the old style.

On the other hand, imagine Kim Il-sung living and ruling over North Korea forever. I'm in favor of SENS, but the idea of having the established elite be permanently on top worries me.

I think that is incorrect. Patent holders win almost 60% of patent cases in East Texas, as opposed to the national average of just over 30%. Delaware is almost as bad. Patent trolls or NPEs win at a much higher there as well - 45% versus 20

I went into the article assuming it was going to be the usual "Here's a strange thing done by a few people that we're going to call a trend". Assuming that viewership at Afreeca TV is split among rooms equally, they'

Really? Searching for Pepsi gives me www.pepsico.com, www.pepsi.com and the Pepsi wikipedia page as the top three results, while +Pepsi gives me Google Plus pages for Pepsi as the top three results. The name for this is Direct Connect, and

Google Plus has the same deal now. Search for +Pepsi on Google and it takes you to Pepsi's Google Plus page. I'm certainly glad they stopped treating + as a search operator so we could get that feature in return.

Because /r/shibe's original moderator drove out a large number of subscribers and shut it down temporarily, and they created /r/supershibe in response. Standard internet drama.

Are those sites really that big in China? I'd think Baidu and Sina Weibo are far more relevant to the general population.

Thanks for linking that - that's an amazing machine for the quoted price. I really wish Lenovo made something like this with a Thinkpad-style keyboard and pointer. Everything else seems perfect, assuming battery life and decent build q

Yeah, I moved to self-hosted Tiny Tiny RSS after Bloglines went down. OPML import would be great. On the flip side, OPML export is also a requirement for me - I don't want to re-enter all of my feeds.
