   How on earth is this legal? Yelp started fundraisers for restaurants, made a barrier for them to collect those fundraisers, and is presumably holding on to a ton of cash people thought was going to the restaurants? This feels like plain fra

   There doesn't appear to be a share-window/share-screen option which feels like that makes this a non-starter for a lot of work-related applications.

   OT is majority US, but UK/JP/MX/CA are also big markets for them and I wouldn't discount that data. Source: I'm a former OT employee :]

   Question to those who know: I used FreeNAS and liked it, but my recent build is Unraid because I had 24 bays, and didn't want to buy all my drives at once, and afaik FreeNAS/ZFS is not super great with adding drives to the pool, e

   Namecheap has no obligation to give out customer data at all unless directed so by a court.

   Facebook listed 3 of the 45, including one that I'd argue does not at all violate TM or phish. In a post like this, they'd likely pick the most egregious examples, so your statement about how obvious this is is entirely baseless.

    This is the Achilles heel of any potential competitor. The lazy integration means there is a big subset of users who simply won't engage with a competitor because it requires more work. Couple that with the social graph Goodreads alrea

    This has given me an idea for a cheatsheet generator site. I feel a lot of cheatsheets are pretty similar: section, subheader, and a list of keys + descriptions. Could make this an easy little vue app.

    The way I've come to describe it with my therapist is that it feels like, internally, I have 12 different brains. All of them are constantly scanning around, interested in different things, making it very hard to focus on one thing, bu

    Oop, you are absolutely correct. I assumed they were the same person. Interesting that there are two prolific poets named Keats.

    Interesting that Keats is at the top. I'm currently reading (and almost at the end of) Hyperion, and Keats plays a significant part of the story. One character proclaims Keats to be the purest poet to have lived.

    I've been big most of my life, for a few years I managed to drop 100lbs and unfortunately gained it all back. It's staggering how differently people treat you, whether they realize it or not.

    Goodreads has a ginormous moat for any competitor trying to get readers who primarily use ereaders, thanks to the deep integration with the Kindle. I keep wanting to try my hand at making a book social network but stop before I've begu

    My mom, in 4th grade, dated one of the Fry boys. Back then the family had a grocery business that the father of the family ran. He sold it to help fund Fry's Electronics. Sad to see it crumble.

    Part of the problem that Cambridge Analytica ran in to was that it was a "foreign agent". A lot of what it did would be legal under an American entity, and I think many in politics know this.

    There's so little here, Reader was bad because it was good and it killed other people's attempts at making an RSS reader, but it was also bad because it didn't have social features? Hard, hard disagree. I wanted an RSS reader

    Sincere plea to everyone who does frontend: please knock it off with the on-select rich media shit. I am a compulsive selecter (and I know there are others like me). I like to select text as I read and it's jarring to have annotations
