Anyone can buy traffic on the proxy, not just click fraud, but cc fraud et al as well. Caveat emptor, it’s really not worth it compared to setting up a 3 USD per month Hetzner proxy box yourself, if you’re looking to pirate movies. For so

This would be true but you're not accounting for OPEC and other groups (e.g. historically the Texas Railroad Commission in the United States, not sure how relevant they still are) to balance production and price per barrel to what they

The whole game is basically one giant random number generator, so there was a lot to gamble on. E.g., two players put one million gold pieces in their inventory, equip no equipment (so no attack bonuses), every hit on each other is now an R

There were dozens of ways to make money off of RuneScape back in the day. Selling bot scripts, running bot farms (this is still very lucrative to this day), running gambling rings, bulk buying gold and reselling, the list goes on. The ecosy

It’s a fun Vegas vending machine gimmick, but if I go to nice pizzeria I'd prefer my pizza be made by a human. Am I missing other use cases?

Didn’t Apple themselves at some point release an ad with a teenager using an iPad going “what’s a computer”? They’re pretty aware they’d be cannibalizing their lower-end laptop lineup.

I worked at a bring your own distro place before, ISO certified. I don’t exactly recall what we had to install for compliance but one of them was Clam AV. So it’s possible. I recall Arch, Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora being used. Relatively sma

Took a winter trip to Norway once with friends, which included a Norwegian that'd immigrated away to the much milder climate the rest of us were all used to. We got a meter of overnight snow and I'd never seen a person so eager to

I feel like we do generally brush, a little too easily, over the fact that economics is still a theoretical science, of which finance is subsequently the practical and technical implementation. Much like psychology, sometimes we turn out to

Hah nope! Even as a Belgian I find the naming of the Brussels train stations maddening. Brussels-Midi is the south station, so Brussel-Zuid. Midi allegedly means south in French, but I've never actually heard it being used over "s

Quite curious, which route was this on? Not one time have I had a consistent internet connection whilst flying transatlantic on Delta, KLM or BA airplanes, to the point that I regretted having paid for it every single time.

I'd argue it's mostly trade news here, I'd assume the OP means commercial broadcasting, newspaper websites and the likes. Very different for your psyche in my experience.

It's much worse in America, in my experience. Much more deviation in cars/sedans/trucks on the road, with different road heights each, and MUCH more custom stuff on top. I'm in Belgium and headlights don't generally

We evaluated CUE, Jsonnet and CDK8s when we wanted to move on from Helm, and ended up using CDK8s. It's proven to be a good pick so far, it's in Typescript.
