Honestly, I wish there was an extension that could translate click bait phrases to non-click bait ones. It'd be hard to do w/o first reading the article though.

That's kind of a click bait title. First of all, O'Reilly never made books, they just publish them. Second, they're not stopping, they're just no longer selling directly. These books are still available for purchase digi

I agree for sure. At the very least have it as a preference. My bookmark bar consists of icons w/ no label. I treat Favicons more or less like I do iOS app icons.

I was just going to say, verbally Coco = Cocoa. Not that it matters all too much since they're in different spaces, but they could have come up with a different name, especially when you don't even have to use a real word.

I more or less agree. I feel as if Steam is starting to look like the Android app store. It's at the point where legit games have to worry about SEO. That being said I think it's really hard to define super simple games that deser

In your opinion do you think those games should be omitted entirely from Steam? Or, do you think platforms like Steam need to organize their storefronts better from their front pages?

It's actually one of the most celebrated consoles by indie developers to date. I don't see anything walled about that at all. What's the gimmick you're referring to? The motion controls? The handheld mode? The dock mode?

It the fundraising really necessary or just a way to sort of overproduce in anticipation of high demand? As it is, they pretty much have that $1.5B in preorder money alone right? Unless, he's just somehow pouring extra money into Space

He's already recorded a video transporting a car-sled from LAX to Westwood in 5 minutes. That alone would solve a lot of my traffic woes.

Paint is the one program I miss the most from Windows other than the Windows file explorer and window management. Paint clones don't seem to cut it. Preview doesn't cut it for me either. Everything else seems to offer a subset of

Does Ethereum not have an escrow like Bitcoin where a 3rd party can confirm a transaction first? But also, if it's really as easy as replacing some arbitrary address with another I'm surprised Coindash wasn't more careful.

Freshly pressed juice is sold at a pretty high markup and little stands and shops seem to make a hefty margin. They charge like $10 for 12oz. of freshly pressed fruit and veggies. So, there's a ton of upside in selling packets and I ca

Understand the fast pass system. There should be blogs online about it. Don't get fast passes for rides that are not worth getting it for. The main ones where fast passes "run out" are Radiator Springs, Guardians, Space Mount

The results are posted further down the article. You're right though, title is most definitely click bait. The notion of raising prices for the sake of shorter wait times is barely an assumption.

This could definitely work if they changed how their annual passes worked. Right now, pass holders can come in whenever there is not a black out date, but Disney needs to first implement a system where days have to be booked in advance. Oth

The $399/yr doesn't make sense for a lot of people. It definitely is too high a price point for me as I only read 1 or 2 O'Reilly books a year at most. It's nice to have a copy lying around for reference years later. On

Amazon sells Kindle versions so there's DRM. But, Google Play store offers PDF and ePub versions of O'Reilly books.

Say what you will about Facebook but I can't deny that I use their products to connect with others. Facebook messenger and groups along with Facebook events has been a part of my life in better ways than AIM, Hangouts, or BBM ever was.

Sure, discounts for buying more is nothing new, but no upfront costs? No place does that at Amazon's scale.

But the game changer is the 10-20% off your purchase. That's a pretty big deal. Not only that, but no upfront costs. Amazon already had free shipping and returns before for Prime users. This however is a completely different psychology

No upfront costs and 10-20% off is a pretty hefty discount.

I was under the impression that the plus movement died a while ago internally at Google. They had an initiative to switch all of the user ids to plus ids and have everything revolve around your plus account.
