The only universal feedback for business is money – don't give them any and you're giving all the feedback you need to. Anything else is wasting your time.

antirez is clearly going to be “Staff-plus” for almost any definition. Can you clarify what you mean?

Yeah I was a fan, had every domain with them that I could! But once they were acquired their .org renewal prices just did not make sense any more, and they were missing some functionality that I thought was crucial and didn't seem incl

iwantmyname was bought out by a conglomerate, “Team Internet[1]”, a few years ago. Prices went up, service went down. I’d recommend moving your domains when you can (Porkbun have been good, though I haven’t had any incidents like this). Bes

Pretty sure people I remember similar conversations happening when people decided to produce content for YouTube full time, lean into Node.js as a dev stack, or build iOS apps. Make hay while the sun shines, friends. It might not last forev

There's a path to tread on taxation, certainly, but it's far from either treating the wealthy as leeches or solitary engines of the economy. There will be folks who want to avoid (or evade) taxation at all costs, but those may end

Why not both? I like the buttons in my (now practically antique) 2007 Mazda 3, but voice sounds miles better than updating my car and ending up with a janky touch screen that takes my focus off the road, the layout and responsiveness changi

I'm going to "yes, and" this with just one more thing that may seem obvious: almost any amount of alcohol is enough to throw that pattern out of whack. The older I get the more reluctant I am to make the trade. Few glasses of

I’ve heard similar stories, but I think they tend to have some runaway hit cash cow in their rearview enabling it. Companies that can kind of do anything and it’s fine. Like Google with AdWords. Whatever they do, AdWords goes to work every

The +, however is just a comment delimiter. All a service provider or malicious actor has to do is simply not include it when storing or publishing it to evade tracking. Stripping it is not uncommon for services to prevent duplicate account

This is also what I've heard and experienced. Actually I don't think "technology producers" are entirely excluded from this bias either. I've assumed more complexity than there was in reality (possibly due to my bac
