We ended up doing that ourselves, moved completely to an internal system that integrates well with our own administrative capabilities. It has been such a breath of fresh air, and took us about the same time to accomplish. The final straw w

ASNs can obviously span multiple countries, and aren't a great way to gate this at all. While we block ASNs we KNOW are owned/operated by companies in limited countries, but I couldn't imagine a worse way to approach it at sc

Can really spot someone who has never had to deal with OFAC with a comment like this. Even if I don't necessarily agree with the concept, or who is actually being blocked, my business is dead in the water if I'm a) sent to prison

Exactly what I came in to say, CCR2216 can do this for < $2k, and does it well.

The backlinks derived from PH are generally considered harmful, and rightfully so. It's gamed beyond belief. There is not much to gain from being at the top of PH other than talking about it to legacy VCs.

I couldn't imagine a better way to describe the current concept of grassroots marketing. Spam, and frankly heavy-handed and bad ways to resolve it (no links get traction, etc) have effectively closed the door here. Anti-spam teams for

We're working on the successor to Weebly, with https://www.articulationsites.com . My partner and I were founding engineers at Weebly. It's clear that the brand is in decline at the hands of Square, and it drives us eve

The sad truth is that for the most part, the web hosting industry has normalized a fairly lax approach to security, and sees settlements like this, and even breaches, as a cost of doing business. Look at Wordpress maintenance, for example.

Yeah, this is what it comes down to. WordPress has an incredible following for a great reason: it works well for the people that know how to use it. Designers and agencies are more than happy to continue to use it, and frankly they should -

The language is intentionally vague, and leaves the determination on the person who has to check the box. I have a competing product and shouldn't get too far in the weeds on what I truly think here, but the predominant feeling across

Couldn't agree more with this. In general, if you're writing eval you've already committed to doing something the wrong way.

As a pretty happily employed Weebly for a few years now, I'm frustrated that you think that, but I'm glad that you went out of your way to register an account to reveal your thoughts. In this case, I guess we'll just agree to

I was employed when I did my trial week at Weebly, and I had to use a week's vacation to do it. Weebly paid for my time, not to mention the trip to SF. Obviously it was worth it to me, but I can see where you're coming from.

I took a week off at my previous job to trial at Weebly. My previous job had a very strict vacation policy, but I knew the importance of what I was doing. Weebly has an unlimited vacation policy, so, it worked out pretty well.

As both an interviewer and interviewee at Weebly, I'm pretty confident in saying I prefer our approach of the trial week. It really gives a great opportunity for the candidate to show off their skills without the on-the-spot pressure o

Hi, I help run the anti-spam team here at Weebly, and I can report that we're not observing any notifications from Facebook indicating that sites on the Weebly network are blocked. I've run a few tests using some popular sites on

It's in their best interest to get rid of all photos posted to the service.

Finding it very strange that this change is presented under the guise of safety, as there are absolutely very malicious extensions currently circulating on the Chrome Web Store.

This isn't true.

This isn't very good, because you don't describe the reason that one would lose the three stands.

This code's pretty riddled with SQL injection vulnerabilities. Can't imagine anyone recommending use of this for new projects. For a single instance, https://github.com/WhatCD/Gazelle/blob/master&#x2

Depending upon configuration, it competes with the upper range 767/777/787s. http://i.minus.com/ibue0fziZTMd11.jpg shows the comparisons pretty well, as far as size alone is concerned.

Weird, when I originally submitted, the actual title reflected the title in the URL. Guess the BBC changed it at some point, as someone has for this post too.

Yikes, that is strange. The article essentially points out extreme overfishing, examples of extinction already occurring, and outlines some conservation efforts. Suggests that we may be the last generation to fish from our oceans.
