This article is garbage. It's a typical case of a complete outsider trying to analyze a scene he doesn't understand or know anything about based on "research", and trying to write for an audience that also doesn't u

Rather than "build our own" we should take back what used to belongs to us in the first place. They say there's a shortage of qualified I.T. people. If you work for telecoms who support a non-neutral internet, then quit. Go o

They wouldn't do it at a lower cost. They'd charge you $50 for E-mail, $100 for streaming video, or $120 for the whole bundle. It would match their existing model for bundled services.

His name is phonetically "suckerberg". Do we really have to tolerate Facebook and it's hideous negative influence on the world? We make all of this stuff up, we can do whatever we want, let's just get rid of it.

RSS is as important as E-mail. Sure today people are mostly focused on corporate run social media like Twitter or Facebook but nobody really likes them. Everyone is constantly bitching about their practices. And you can't really make m

One obvious exception to this is the blocker 'Ad Nauseum', which loads and clicks the ad in order to screw up tracking data. It's not the most popular blocker, but it seems to me that the risk of false "impressions"

Why would anyone ever think they should link to off-site resources? My guess is their only real experience with the web is a few years in college.

The government stepped in when the news broke. Equifax doesn't get to conduct investigations, on itself or anyone else. They can perform whatever theater they like, but it is completely meaningless. Imagine a "crazy" person t

haha, oh well as long as the corporation has cleared them then they must be innocent! No conflict of interest here! Okay joking aside, I am really curious, are these people idiots? Are they criminals? Are they both? What makes them think th

There are processors who don't care, obviously, since all porn websites accept credit card payments. As a business owner you can do the research to figure out which ones to use. all I'm saying is patreon is a waste of money, and s

You're wrong in that temp contracts have different sorts of terms. Full term temps can usually only work with one hiring customer but that is not the only model. By taking a cut of the salary as a fee, websites like freelancer and upwo

All of those "freelancer" websites are scams. Freelancing is about not working for other men. It's about being your own boss. Those websites are not really freelancing, they're temp agencies hiring out short term contrac

The answer is simple. Regarding technology, _most_ people are still in the 1980s. More than anything, this is proof that tech industry salaries are on average _way too low_. Stop working for peanuts. Let them go back to pen and paper. Let t

The web isn't dying. The web isn't going to die. The day to day, month to month, or even year to year web trends are not indicative of the future of the web. The irony here is that if anything were going to kill the web, it would

last I checked it was 10%. They charge 5% for processing payments which is 2% higher than paypal and stripe charge for processing payments, which they are certainly pocketing as hidden profit. Which is lying, another reason not to work with

Patreon probably uses a credit card processor that prohibits selling pornography, as many of them do. If you're an original content creator you should not be using Patreon as your sole source of income. Patreon is a good way to get att

I've had to deal with Hostgator on a number of occasions and I can tell you they don't know how to utilize SSH keys their systems are misconfigured and their support people are clueless. Also I believe they're now owned by EI
