   But maybe you don't have to be logged in to see ads? If so, then maybe changing that feature could help. Or at least show a majority to only logged-in folks.

   but then in the last year Google started taking back 80% of my revenue at the end of the month saying it's "Invalid Traffic" I wonder if they returned the money to the advertisers.

   I have a pretty modest machine and zoom wins hands-down. It also "just works." I've had trouble getting non-technical people on hangouts/meet/whatever they call it today. Zoom "just works," and they&#x2

   I had no idea they had a no-nudity TOS. It is US-centric, i.e. topless females is considered nudity? What about males?

   Thank you both you have answered my question.

   I agree completely. And I'm also fine with people who want to be paid to teach.

   Exactly. If the article has no value what's the big deal?

   Nope. I'm just wondering what the sentiment is. I've obviously struck a nerve. "Oh no paywall!" for a site that pays its authors. Now, if it ripped the authors off or engaged in other shitty tactics, then that's

   But you're not ok with somebody selling you their useful knowledge?

    How do you get the reach? Reach is worth something.

    My understanding is that authors can get paid.

    This is the way all ads should be.

    Would you prefer ads or paying writers through Medium?

    So, Hunter was possibly selling access to Joe, for the possibility of influence? If so, did it work? Hunter is a troubled man (remember Billy Carter?). I only care about what Joe did, if any of this is true.

    I think anyone knowledgeable using Wordpress realizes quickly that a rewrite will be part of the plan once the MVP is proved, unless you're literally just making a blog or some very simple site. Maybe we should distinguish between &quo

    Indeed. Is Wordpress "no code?" I think of it as legos.

    Yes, debate doesn't seem to work very well. The "persuaders" just pivot to another nonsense claim, and you waste a ton of time debunking it. It has to start with public culture. People should be a little embarrassed to be w

    Would downvoters please explain why you're doing it? Is this statement untrue? Serious question- I have no idea.

    I'm thinking them, but also Phil Plait (the Bad Astronomer) is a candidate.

    I'm sorry to hear that. It's not typically part of the warning about the flu that you can face lingering cognitive impairment even if you never thought you got the flu.

    I had a nasty flu-like something a few years back and lost weight like that too. I didn't notice any lingering issues after maybe 2 1/2 or 3 weeks. The flu had me in bed for a week and weak for ten days or so and yes, it took a

    Wow. So you're really advertising through Microsoft. Hopefully someday DDG will have its own index.

    Yikes! Edit: IG's claim was that the indicator light was a bug (erroneously indicating that the camera was in use), but the app wasn't actually accessing the camera.

    I wonder if DuckDuckGo would be more successful if it was easier to find out how to advertise with them. Like, a link on the page that says "Advertise on Duck Duck Go." I've tried to advertise with them in the past a few

    I wish the people downvoting you would say why. I think you make a good point and if there are good counter-arguments then I'd like to hear them.

    What infuriates me the most is that those assholes would pass a law without knowing what it means. UnFuckingBelievable, yet not.
