I like how documentation is the blob itself. However, this is just a thin wrapper around S3 or similar. Someone will need to pay the bill eventually so unless developer is upfront with business model, I wouldn't use this.

It looks like HttpListener doesn't support kernel caching at all which means it's not vulnerable to this attack.

Another straw-man argument against mandatory vaccination. Mandatory also means you might be subject to fines or denied access to government social programs.

This is not surprising. Rand Paul, similar to his father Ron Paul, has very libertarian political views which means they prefer no government involvement, not just in the Internet but anywhere. This is not as good as it sounds. For example,

Digital nomads are huge benefit to local economy. I can't imagine country would start enforcing some outdated piece of legislation against them. In other words, even if it's illegal, it's not enforceable. Outdated legislation

Not all cases of myopia are caused by misshapen eyeballs. There are a few other conditions which can cause nearsightedness. Some will correct on its own, others can be corrected by some eye exercises. This would explain why some people have

At that age, myopia progression of 0.75 in a year is considered average. In Asia, the average is actually even slightly higher.

Not to mention, myopia in Asia is the prevalent in dense populated areas such as Singapore, South Korea or Japan where rice consumption per capita is lower than anywhere else in south-east Asia since they can afford more variety of food whe

How is this a startup solidarity? I'm pretty sure all those companies couldn't care less whether he is a startup or a plumber. They would react the same just on the basis that he has asked nicely and they were confident he can get

The problem is that for small companies, it's too easy for management (aka founders) to funnel funds out without giving shareholders anything. That's why VC is not interested because even if the company is a success, there is no g

I didn't say anything about illegal. I specifically said, tax authority won't accept tax deductions they don't like. They will simply issue you new tax bill and couldn't care less whether what you are doing is legal or n

This won't work. Tax authority will simply not accept tax deductible expenses which allow you to transfer profits to Ireland and will issue you new tax bill. Why big corporations can get away with this? It comes down to people. Little

It is true though. Some of my friends work for huge corporations, their job title sounds very advanced but in reality, they are repeating very narrow task over and over again for years like a trained monkey. The worst part is that most peop

No, you are not. Freely given donations for which nothing is given in return are outside the scope of VAT, GST or sales tax.

Is this some kind of Scrooge McDuck excuse? If your income tax rate is 30%, on $1,000 donation, you get only $300 back in tax credits. If donation is not tax-deductible, then you won't get $300 so don't donate $1,000. Donate only
