That'd be a good example of a similar community I guess, ~but my other requirement was focus on research papers, not discussions.~ Worth digging into though, thanks. Update: Actually is apparently focused on papers. Thanks! I want some

I've seen this, and I'd be lying if I couldn't recognize parts of my own story in there. Your error is to assume it's necessarily by choice. You don't always want to do that. You take a job that pays the bills first

The entire GitLab team is remote, as far as I understand their company model. https://about.gitlab.com/2015/04/08/the-remote-manifesto/ But maybe you meant part-time?

Interesting. That never bothered me, and I've reinstalled Plex quite a few times over the past 2 years. For me it's quick to setup and re-index, so I don't really see an issue with its own data getting lost, as long as it lea

Same here: I was reading and when I read the anecdote about a some basic concept being introduced only around page 216, I thought "hang on, I've read that before..." And I had the same thought as back then, too: "Concept

Ah, I may have completely misunderstood the parent comment then. Indeed, have never used these, in any country so far. Neat.

That's really not limited to France though. I've seen the same at Tesco, Waitrose and Saintsbury in the UK, in several chains in China, in a bunch of Germany as well (Aldi?), and in Australia (Whoolworths, Coles...). Ikea has had

Regarding the beginning of your answers: note that nowhere in my comment did I make an assumption about the distribution of the TOR users by use-case. I spoke of the original intent. I don't really care what the vast majority of user

You look at this from the privacy perspective of someone who wants to hide something within the constraints and confines of a working - and at least somewhat ethical - legal and judiciary framework. The original use case for Tor is for peop

I've said it in the other thread where you mentioned it the other day, and I'll say it again: this is an awesome service! And thanks so much for sharing the source on GitLab to reproduce it. Really great work!

Spamnesty is nothing short of amazing! :) I hope you'll also distribute the code so hopefully anyone not necessary trusting your service to not harvest email addresses or resell them (or get hacked) would be able to deploy that on a cu

You're mistaken. A lot of businesses in many countries use .com addresses even for their local shops. For one othing, .com stands for "commercial". .us is for USA. Regarding whether it's right to do so or not is another

I asked a few times to be allowed to lurk around the offices, either directly one the day of the interview, or for a day prior to my starting date (but after having signed a contract, though). Helps to get a feel of the place at least, if n

That, yes. But also because a significant amount of even the day's top popular topics have in the end very little relevance and impact to most businesses. Which doesn't mean it's not interesting, though.

I think you underestimate the complexity of things that happen under the hood or simply out of sight: back-office apps, integration systems for data import/export, backups, alerting. I'm not so familiar with Yelp, but I'd bet
