Today Disqus deployed a fix for this issue; you can read their comment on the blog posts here: https://blog.dantup.com/2017/01/visiting-a-site-that-uses-di...

For me, the problem is that the smaller a service is, the less reputation they have to lose by screwing everyone over. I don't know who you are or that you won't inject ads or affiliate links into my site in a few months (or sell

Sure, I just posted a link to make it easy to find their comment. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that this is an accident and they're working on it, but I'll believe they care when the fix is live and I can see it w

I think this is unlikely, it seems like a silly accident to me.

Maybe you do, but it's not outrageous to want to know. If my posts are getting 0 visitors, I'd rather know and spend the time on something else!

FWIW - Disqus commented on my article - there's a link to their comment right at the top of the article now.

2. I use Disqus and don't actually get much spam (maybe 1 spam post every 6 months, and it always gets flagged by Disqus) but there is often useful stuff in the comments. I think my blog would be much worse without the comments (and I

1. Good point; I'm not really sure where I was going with this now; GitHub and another CDN are basically the same. I must've been distracted while replying! 2. Yeah, it's not ideal. In this case, it looks like Disqus are gonn

Although not as many, there are ways to include ads that are not scripts. My blog has a DJI banner that's just an anchor with an image tag; proper old-skool! :-) Of course, it doesn't make any money because I'm no famous; but

I don't know the details, but I can't see a reason why they can't just not include the SDK until they need it (sure, this will add a delay before they can use it, but seems better than this current implementation for privacy!

This currently exists as an "Intelligent Flight" column; though I expect we'll need to split it out soon when the support features vary more across models.

I was under the impression that P4 and Mavic has the same (forward and downward sensors)? You're right though, both of these fields are a bit vague and I think in time they'll need splitting out; but I think for now they're p

We've started building a comparison chart for Quadcopters and would appreciate feedback! Only just started but I'd ask for feedback to make sure it's going in a good direction. https://www.thedronechart.com/

Thanks for the feedback! Pricing keeps coming up, so we're going to look at what we can do. We don't want to get into providing accurate prices (they change too frequently and it'd be a game of cat and mouse; and the intentio

I can send you (or anyone else) an invite if you'd like one - send the email address you'd like inviting to blog@dantup.com. I don't use it that much so I don't have any real opinion on how useful/good it is.
