Yeah you seriously have to decline YouTube premium popup basically every session. So its not surprising to get that thing multiple times a day.

I don't have any data on this, but I do know that a significant (if not majority) of Wordpress sites now aren't even blogs. They are small websites for things like restaurants, hair salons, construction companies, photographers, a

1Password does do something to help combat the problem that OP had... they change the background color of any input that they auto-filled to be blue. Blue is a weird color for most sites and it should stand out to the user (generally in a f

AWS is definitely the leader. But Microsoft Azure is giving them a run for their money, and is stealing away a lot of the big clients. Azure is adding new products quickly and adding features to existing products to stay competitive with AW

True. But the idea is that these functions run in between your server/application requesting the object and AWS returning the object to your server. In other words, they happen synchronously with the object request. So you don't w

I had the 8Gb MBP. I bought it the day they were released so it arrived on launch day. Because of the holidays we had extended return window, so we could use it until January 15th before returning it. I used it that whole time and fell in l

13 really is the perfect size. I had a 16 inch forever before it because that is the size you needed if you wanted a capable enough computer to do what I needed. Now I can get a $1,200 computer that works better than my old $3,200+ computer

This has been my biggest psychological shift with my M1 mac too. I used to use my laptop plugged in whenever possible, only using battery power if plugged power wasn't an option. Now I almost never use my M1 laptop on wall power. I use

This was my immediate thought upon reading this. It is a very bizarre name choice given its potential connection to COVID-19 and that it was released during the ongoing global pandemic. Regardless of whether Pangolins are the true source of

This is why I have gone to using virtual cards online. When you want to cancel, you go to one central repository with all your virtual cards and turn off the card for the service you want to cancel. When your next payment comes up, the card

The inverted pyramid is used for news stories. That is what you would expect from the NYTimes, CNN, or your local newspaper. But The Atlantic isn't news stories. They are general interest essays. They are all long form stories that t

When he talked about goalies not ever needing to get off the knees, I was wondering what teams he was watching, because it wasn't the same teams as me. Goalies only drop to their knees when a player shoots. I'd be yelling at the s

Formula 1 is funny because in some ways it is like a sport of lawyers and engineers. Engineers try to push the envelope and lawyers dive through the minutiae of the regulations to try to find loopholes and justifications for the car changes

I think they can do some minor body adjustments to fins and things. But the core car and powertrain is the same. In a sport where everyone drives the same car, marginal gains (1% more performance) can be what wins a race.

I thought the same thing. I was like, "Wow this must be a superfan, who knows all the inner workings of the players union and how the goalies practice". Then at the end with the author's bio I almost wanted to go read the who

This game was back in 2007. This was near the end of the "ruthless NHL era", when the NHL was trying to brand itself as the hard-hitting, brutal sport of hockey. So this type of stuff was accepted, and even quietly encouraged. Now

Yeah i do agree that pandora's box might already be open. I am an avid hockey fan and there has been a huge shift towards "trick" shots in the past few years to get around these goalies. It is becoming increasingly rare to se

The "catch" is that they take a 6% rake off the annual amount. This means you get 94% of the annual contract value. So for a $1,000 agreement, you would keep $940. Still a pretty good deal if you ask me. Its also pretty nice becau
