The prepaid cards I've seen only cost about $0-2.50 USD. I've never seen one as high as $20 USD (which is what 15€ currently exchanges to). Arguably, prepaid cards from shopping malls aren't a good solution anyway. If you&#x2

Here's a Google link: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&c... If Google is the referrer, FT drops the paywall.

Except it's a sucky paywall for new readers/people who don't frequent the Financial Times. I don't recall ever reading anything on the Financial Times before; in fact, it's not even a familiar news source for me. An

That was my initial thought on what you'd end up with. Aren't the top 1 million most popular sites popular for a reason? Of course there's some garbage in there... but what's the value in removing Wikipedia?

It may be a crime, but an unlocked mailbox still leaves the temptation there.

I'm not that familiar with the Airbnb situation in NY. Why is this a "bad" pattern that NY state has deemed to be a violation of the law?

I think this describes me. I'm originally from South Jersey, outside of any big metropolitan area. I'm now living in Palo Alto, and I think Caltrain and VTA are great, but I think that the only reason for that is that I went from

I've been a DH VPS customer for... years now. Don't even remember how long since I upgraded from shared. (And I've been with DH since 2006.) Coming from the shared environment, having a VPS is infinitely nicer. We would have

Even so... only about 3% decided to answer with underwear. I imagine it may have crossed an even larger percentage of user's minds, but they didn't want to answer with that.

I call them the 101 and the 280 as well--and I never lived in SoCal. I think more people do it up here than they'd like to admit. :P

Something like this has always worried me with ICANN's idea of opening up TLDs. It feels like a decade ago, most advertisements contained the "www." prefix to signify a web address. Nowadays, you rarely see them, since most p

Whenever I go shopping, I bring two canvas bags with me and fill them. That's all I can carry, basically. And having to fill a lot of that space with heavy detergent or bulky paper towels means I either need to go on a second shopping

I think for me, the delivery fee is going to really influence my frequency of buying. I never hesitate to think of one item I need--and order it for same or next day. I think once my beta period shuts off, I'll probably instead keep a

I don't have a car, so I always use public transit to go to and fro the store. My biggest joy for GSE is ordering heavy/bulky items, like laundry detergent and paper towels--and not having to lug them onto the bus! It's a ver

How exactly has Stanford had its business impacted due to a security breach? I'm only thinking in terms of people wanting to apply, and I can't imagine how that'd be a deterrent.

Not trying to troll or anything, but how do we know Mozilla won't be evil in the future? I'm sure you could find people who thought that about Google back in the day, they seem to now be routinely called out for questionable evils

I've been doing the same thing with micropurchases. I have no hesitation in thinking "Oh, I could use one of those..." and having it show up later that night or the next day. But, it looks like they are planning on charging a

I'd certainly trust Google to shut down a product more gracefully than a startup.

It sounds like his platform is perhaps a private enterprise platform? In other words, it doesn't sound like Facebook or Youtube where information can easily spread, which is probably a prerequisite for having control over your data. Th

How many of those other services are as highly federally regulated as flying an airplane, though? MUNI may suck, but MUNI doesn't need to answer to the feds.

+1 for your comment. I don't see why "no images" is special anywhere. I think images would help out a lot here, as you mentioned, especially since I've never bought a tire before and have no idea what I'd be looking

You don't in New Jersey and Oregon. Gas attendants do that for you.

I certainly wouldn't complain about option 3... but I'd be very weary of whether that would be /enough/ for Snapchat.

by dave5104 13y ago
I'm on the opposite end there. I would never pay money for extra snap options. I'd much rather see ads if choosing between the two.

The idea behind making it easy to log into sites on your phone easily is nice. But QR codes are probably a bad way of going about it. The average user just doesn't know what to do with QR codes, and they have poor engagement (at least if yo

And wasn't one of Marissa's plans when she came aboard to try and revive Flickr, since she saw it as a big asset? Not that it's jumped leaps and bounds since then, but I would think that she'd want to nurture tumblr a bit.

Isn't Mac OS X only updatable via Apple's equivalent App Store now as well? If it's "spammy" for Windows, are you also implying it's spammy of Apple?

I imagine the US government could just add said non-US business to an embargo list of some sort. Prevent them from doing any business whatsoever with US citizens.

Did anyone notice that a number of the links in the blog post are being routed through Google? (via google.com/url?q=theurl) What's up with that?
