I wonder how much we undervalue audience segmentation when analyzing social network profitability. Twitter and reddit’s perpetual issues making money could be that they index too highly for cynical people who trust no one, while Facebook do

It’s an interesting debate whether facilitating illegal (but society-enabling and productive) projects like sci-hub and the drug parts of silkroad will have been worth facilitating illegal (but society-harming) projects such as ransomware,

My trick is to set a timer on my phone when I start a load. Even if the machine doesn't tell you how long it's going to take on a display, these things tend to be pretty consistent. Low tech but it works.

Paprika for iOS took me pretty far in this direction. I bought it on a recommendation from a friend so I could strip out the blog posts and index recipes, but the grocery shopping features ended up making it something I used all the time. Y

Not GP, but he was saying pressure cooker over slow cooker. I got an instant pot about 6 months ago and I probably use it as much as my stovetop now. Even if you're pressure cooking a stew (it makes Indian cooking actually achievable)

That's overkill, and a silly recommendation. Try these microfiber cloths: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019O1RH4W/ They are thin enough to allow you to close the lid of your laptop while traveling,

It’s worth noting that Verisart is very similar to https://www.ascribe.io which preceded it. Though ascribe has focused their marketing more towards digital art.

Don’t underestimate where the watch trumps LEDs: discretness and gentleness. After owning one for a few years I can’t stand the abrasive sound of a vibrating cell phone on a table.

Is this only when it’s plugged in? Could be a bad cable or charger. I had an iPhone 5 that had a super touch digitizer when plugged in, and I finally narrowed it down to cheap third party cables. Otherwise I think I would be doing a sit-in

You can use Trezor or Ledger hardware wallets for U2F with recoverable seed words. Even if you go with a Yubikey, which has a better form factor, one of these is a pretty good backup device since they can be further backed up to paper.
