If JotForms charged $10 to $20 no one would use them. A competitor with more thoughtful plans for discouraging phishing would wipe them out. I imagine most of these forms could be automatically detected.

That vast majority of your users account for what, like 10% of your revenue, or less? The real point of your product is targeting addicts, whales, as you called them, and manipulating them into paying money for nothing. Yes, actually nothin

You do realize that the whole point of these games is socially engineering people into parting with as much money as possible, right? They're paying money for a chance at winning certain pixels and you're pretending in your head that they'r

This is fine if your site is small and don't have a lot of users, but adding fields or data to existing documents is extremely expensive in mongoDB. Just don't design your product around this.

They have dental setups in the hospitals here for emergencies but generally it's not taken seriously enough. Poor dental care can have a tremendous impact on a persons physical and mental health.

And chew xylitol gum. It kills bacteria. But it won't cure an impacted wisdom tooth. There are places that will put you out to remove them so stop putting it off.

I think even more importantly than using a VPN in some foreign country, I would start by not joking about 'destroying America' so they wouldn't have a reason to bother me. Then again I have no intention of ever visiting the States again.

I don't know of a single VPN service that doesnt keep logs, they might not log the sites you visit but they all log which customer has which IP at which time.

Is there any doubt that sites like these* are simply exploiting a legal loophole? They recruit people to upload third-party content to their sites and then pay based on how many downloads/paid service signups the uploader gets.[1] So, guess

I would appreciate a service that sent me the same thing over and over every two weeks, say Mini Dickmann's from Germany, they are the best. This way people could get their favorite thing, or a selection which is tailored to them.

The SSSS mark is also handed out when you purchase your ticket shortly before the flight or when you pay in cash, or at the discretion of the airline. I've endured it more times than I care to recall because I frequently change my travel pl

I find Twilio's calls to be very expensive. If you're serious about keeping costs down(and writing an app that is primarily voice), a better solution is Asterisk in the cloud with say, Adhearsion ( https://github.com/adhearsion/adhearsion )

I'm pretty sure PayPal charges fees for the convenience of getting your money instantly, which means nobody is expecting charity here as you seem to be implying. Thus, PayPal is not bearing all the risk, indeed they are being paid to carry

The Wikileaks-offensive project was known as Team Themis. Perhaps you didn't realize that. The email address pt-themis-bcc@palantir.com, along with the sharing of third party software, is enough to prove that they were a part of this acti

Theoretically speaking, blocking them is completely impossible. Websites aren't spam, they have structure and content, and ads are obvious. The ads have similar sizes, positions, elements, cookies, yadda yadda. This is about money.

Mistakenly implies that it wasn't a direct result of policy and an inherently malicious protocol of operations. This, in my opinion, was not a mistake, but rather the result of systemic incompetence and technical illiteracy on the part of t

If Google still requires you to use your real name to register but allows you to show only a pseudonym, the problem ceases to exist because there is no one able to rat you out. That is, unless they write an algorithm that checks for "Dear r

The EFF raises money through gloating about the good they do. If they didn't trumpet their successes people wouldn't see the value. Frankly, Google was forced to make this decision by people like danah boyd, poor press, and a bad position i
