I can understand the desire to not cave to "the man" and keep your domain, but why not just sell it for $ludicrous_sum and register another domain?

I have an instant pot and it's pretty good, but it's not the only cooking device you will ever need. The issue I have with it is that because it's a sealed pressure cooker, everything comes out a bit "boiled" looki

I'm so sick of proprietary walled garden messaging systems. So now I need slack, chime, skype, hangouts, imessage, allo, facebook, etc depending on who I want to talk to.

The author acknowledges that comparisons to Microsoft and Google aren't apples to apples, but posts a big graphic showing just that at the top of the article. You might as well add Walmart and McDonalds to the graph. Both of those ha

I guess this service might prevent people from migrating off Amazon services to DigitalOcean (or other VPS providers), but I don't really see a compelling reason to use this service instead of DigitalOcean.

You're right. I probably oversimplified to save on typing. I actually work with a person who is 60ish and has held considerably more senior roles in the past. He seems pretty happy in his less senior role. I think he wanted somethi

You can usually tell from a roughly how old a person is just from reading their resume. If they list themselves as a team lead in 1990, then you can be pretty sure that they are at least 50. I would guess that the judge wants to limit to

What is more relevant than when it was released is when it was last sold as a new device through official channels. If a phone is for sale though a legitimate distributor, then I think it's reasonable to expect security updates for 3

More and more people are dumping cable TV. The main reasons that I hear for people keeping it are sports and news. If live streaming sites like twitch can sign deals with sports leagues, then I think we will see even more people cancellin
