I actually had never noticed that it was possible to scroll with AMP because it's different from the way it normally should work. So, yes I think the scrolling issue is a real issue. So, whenever I've seen AMP, I've just clic

I still think that refusing to start if the cert expires in 7 days or less is still an issue if Let's Encrypt is down. There should be at most a warning but it should start. Otherwise you end up with an external dependency that can ca

They did say multiple iterations and individual salt. Of course, it's easy enough to do with md5 but that sounds like a good description of bcrypt out of the box.

When they used it as that meaning, the next dish was called the "relevé" which was a larger dish that replaced the entrée. So, the entrée wasn't the actual main dish.

Speaking about names, I still don't understand why Americans insist on calling main dishes as Entrées. An entrée is a starter, it's based on the verb entrer which is to enter. Drives me crazy...

It's a reference to Star Citizen which is well known for the repeated delays and promises.... Or maybe a reference to No Man's Sky...

Coffee shops are great place to do admin work or any work that doesn't demand a lot of attention but tends to be boring. I find that I have an easier time focusing on such work in a coffee shop than at home. On the other hand, I have a

They are trying to improve this in France. I've met quite a few shops who started to accept amex because Amex has started offering very low transaction fees for shops with small volume. I think it's actually smart, they're no

I don't think that will happen for multiple reasons: 1. Australia and UK still have mile earning credit cards. In fact, in my experience, countries that cap the maximum amount of late fees and interests tend to have lower mile earning

To be fair though, I used to pay $8,000 a year in plane ticket fees now I pay $2,000 a year and use miles, so it's a significant saving for people like me who travel a lot. But I agree that, for most people, cashback is a better value
