I have a hard time trusting either Glasswire and Antilogger without seeing the source (especially since you mentioned possible backdoors in the same breath as your recommendation). Your first link looks like it's just a pack of local p

It would also be nice if people would re-think their mental model about where content comes from and who pays for it. I hear about so many people blocking ads and whatnot - and I understand why - but you don't really see these same pe

This has nothing to do with the type of test they ran and everything to do with where and how they ran it.

The difference is your 'dumb mechanic' made an unintentional mistake. These people, on the other hand, knowingly and deliberately disabled a car on a highway. Yes, they had a plan, but they are still running their little experime

I don't really look up razors or related products online and I also see their ads all over Facebook. I'm pretty certain they're just aggressively targeting the 18-35 demographic.

Not to dismiss what you're saying, but in this case the 'client button' is for tricking the annoying client into thinking you're making a change when you've really done nothing. This is kind of the same idea as thro

Agreed one hundred percent. I try to stay away from single-purpose gadgets, myself, out of desire to save space, but there are a few things I look forward to buying in a few years' time. A few (2-4?) good knives (full tang), a honing

Their 'special' price is $1500 if you pre-order. Looks like they want to charge double that after their promo period ends. Any good cook is not going to need some gimmicky gadget like this and will likely stay clear of this. You

It's useful to add that, generally speaking, when you get the motion sickness the effects can be intense. I found out the hard way that even if you've never suffered from motion sickness via regular vectors (car rides, boating),

Good to know I'm not alone in this reasoning. I've seen the flip-flopped behavior on other sites, and it is a pet peeve of mine.

Thanks, this is a very good job so far. I do have one question, though. What is your reasoning for having the upward-facing arrow /\ serve as the descending sort and downward-facing \/ as ascending? It feels backwards to me and

Furthermore, I thought Medium was supposed to be a place for quality story-telling. Guess it's jumped the shark, too.

Have you checked out Ice? I'm not sure if it will fit your needs, but if you haven't taken a look, perhaps you should. https://github.com/NYTimes/ice

As others have stated, that's not necessarily going to do the trick, either. I'll make a huge leap here and guess that you're a primarily laptop user. Don't forget about desktop users. I use an external amplifier conne

Hopefully you're building up credit some other way. You can still spend the money you have with a credit card. I pay my balance in full twice a month, just to ensure I never pay any interest. It's better than paying with a debit

That's a pretty decent idea for a project, but I would have instead hooked into the buzzer signal. The author over-complicated his solution, but that doesn't make it invalid.
