I'd imagine they bought as many as possible several years ago, and only release 3-4 at a time. At this point, I doubt there are very many TLD's left that don't have a TPB domain, whether bought by TPB or by a reseller.

Same here. Thought it was a bit odd of a technology for Amazon to want to buy.

Wiring the interior of your house to a network connected device, whether cloud or not, sounds crazy to me anyways. I realize 95% of the "hacked" webstreams are due to people not changing the default password and forwarding the po

Can the funder make a stipulation that private journals are authorized, but not to be paid for with funded money?

Instead of using money that a government created out of thin air?

I printed a blank strip of "White on Black" label tape and stuck it over on my MBP. I only see it when I'm in a super bright environment, such as in sunlight. Otherwise I forget its there.

Ah, I thought they were referring to buying a song-ringtone. Still, it's not the government's business to be telling Verizon they must sell for $1 or allow competition into their ecosystem.

by kfriede 9y ago
Are you suggesting that Verizon should have given you that feature for "free"? In that case, they would have either passed that cost on to every customer, or not had that feature at all, taking it away from those who were willi

I have no problem with any of the above, IF and ONLY IF the barriers to entry for competition weren't so high. I feel that the only reason we are discussing NN right now is because government regulation has effectively given major tel

Competing in an open market would mean they actually need to be competitive. Why be competitive when you can shell out cash to the vending machine, get guaranteed business, and not break a sweat doing it?

I often feel this way about podcasts. Many great podcasts have a 0:30 intro, 1:30 of ads then 08:00 of random babble before getting into 5:00 of the meat of the podcast. The most recent one I can think of is 99% Invisible, though they&#x2

I'd be curious to see how the data changes if the question is changed to "Do you think you are compensated enough ". I personally know people who think they make too much , and may actually answer "No" to the que

I believe that it's because of efforts like this that you don't see the need for "Twilio Engineer." When you make integration easy for the everyday developer, they're able to spend more time focusing on the other p

I'd imagine it's to give the product/voice a more human-like feel to it. "Echo" sounds like I'm talking to a robot, or a dog (or a robot dog). "Alexa" could be a human.

It's more than a hidden feature though. Pressing the wifi button (where you would normally expect it to turn the radio off) literally brings up a text saying "Disconnected from {SSID}"

I personally wouldn't care as much about that being on the camera if there was an instant and automatic way to transfer it to my phone (e.g. via bluetooth). I'd find it to be more useful that way.

I think I've mostly decided that with ThingsOnReddit's new found success, and my loss of interest in my project, I may throw in the towel on it. We'll see if I still feel the same in a few weeks to revamp it in a different m

I'd looked into it as an expansion in the future. Currently my data set was built strictly on Amazon links, so expansion would mean a rebuild/reindex of all reddit posts.

The keyword searching was really bad, agreed. Akin to trying to search on Craigslist with ads having a giant list of keywords in them.

by kfriede 9y ago
That was on my to-do list for future features. I shipped it very early, and Amazon demonetized me pretty soon after that, so lots of things I wanted to do became useless.

A product can still be copied in functionality without being copied in design. The general premise (product recommendations from Reddit) is the same. I also agree my UX is bad. I have been meaning to pivot with all the data I already hav

Their wording is "lack of original content." Affiliates is geared towards bloggers who write posts (such as reviews) about linked products. Mine was nowhere close to that. Some sites skate by with alternatives, but I can see ho

I'd be curious to see the success of this with Amazon Affiliates, since it is nearly a direct copy of a site I made 2 months ago (that Amazon shut down due to lack of original content). The site is https://fastandes.com (c

I think he's requesting it on the system level. For example, if iOS allowed you to force PIN+TID when opening a specific (not necessarily secure) app for the first time after an unlock. Intended for apps that don't necessarily h
