What do you need to track, and how will you take action from it? It’s valuable to figure that out first. You may not need user tracking at all. You can track how many signups came from which domain by setting a cookie with the referrer and

"implicit proponent" is an oxymoron.

You don’t have to see any ads online, by using an adblocker and not visiting websites that lack paid ad-free versions (Facebook, Instagram).

Thanks! Their numbers seem to be far off from the FDIC studies, despite them claiming they corroborate national averages. Looking at the FDIC study from 2009, ~20% of Black/Hispanic households in California were unbanked, and when look

AFAIK these stores employ security/loss-prevention (and stockers as well, just not cashiers). There’s people at the door in the videos I saw. How do they stop people from stealing?

The article doesn’t link to the study and I can’t find it. “As many as” could mean anywhere from 1 to 50%. Smells like deception, but I could be wrong.

Then the practical solution is to pass a law requiring them to have a machine to load a card with, not banning them outright. This policy is needlessly destructive.

According to Brown, as many as 50 percent of black and Latino households in San Francisco go without a bank account This stat is hard to believe. Does anybody have a link to the actual study? Most national studies (like the FDIC one) put

Another reason to use passwordless login. Just send an one-time login code via email. That’s what my companies do and there’s no way we can leak passwords... there aren’t any! I honestly don’t understand the point of using passwords when a

Instead of using another data silo, consider webmentions. Post a reply on your own blog with rel=“reply-to” and send a webmention notifying the author, who uses a plugin or webmention service to display replies. It’s decentralized web comme

Agreed. I have yet to find a single use-case that can't be done without JavaScript, with the exception of chat. Like audio and video, chat could have easily been another HTML widget provided by the browser (imagine, standard declarativ

vim-adventures.com is a great way to learn vim by playing a game. It’s worth the money if you enjoy solving puzzles and learning by doing.

Do you really have to read it? If you must: - Choose an rss reader and curate your own sources. - Read long-form news periodicals instead of the daily news, which tend to be less toxic.

Yeah yeah the deflationary death spiral that’s never actually happened. Saving is literally keeping money to use it at a later date. So how will you retire without saving? Are you planning on working until you’re dead?

The bulk of research shows the US spends more on healthcare due to higher prices, not more care. Increasing taxes will not solve anything without some sort of strategy to control prices. One solution is price controls for common, well under

- 65% of Americans don't save, despite most having the ability to do so. 1 in 3 have less than $5,000 saved for retirement! It's a massive cultural problem. [1] - Most Americans live unhealthy lifestyles that contribute to $1.5 t

Cows don’t really produce much or any milk until after giving birth. Milk is what they feed their babies... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dairy_cattle#Animal_welfare

Huh? Cows don’t lactate until calving. At least not any appreciable amount. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dairy_cattle#Animal_welfare Artificial insemination isn’t rape. Keeping them confined isn’t slavery. Slaughter

Only cows that have been pregnant produce milk. Cows are made pregnant to increase the duration of milk production, and to produce more cows for dairy or meat. (Edited for clarity) The process of artificial insemination involves sticking a

So now we’re going to force them to pee by stimulating their urinary nerves!? Another reason to stop our inhumane practice of enslaving, raping, and slaughtering cows to serve our tastes. We don’t need to do this to have nutritious healthy

Older versions of Internet Explorer did it (3 or 5 can’t recall) Konquerer, Netscape, and lynx too if I recall correctly.

Fantastic work. You and the other founders should be very proud of what you’re doing. This is exactly what the world needs more of. I recommend this to anyone looking to switch careers.

You might find a problem with that arrangement when you need to buy something that Amazon doesn't or won't carry, and there's nobody else in town Why would Amazon not selling something prevent someone else from selling it?

Yes, I use Google and the Internet. What's the problem ? To contrast this with healthcare. I can understand diabetics not being able to afford medication for example, or people without the means to afford life sustaining treatments. F

I read her blog post. I don't see anywhere in her post that gives one concrete example of a negative impact on consumers. She gives the example of Amazon.com forcing diapers.com to sell diapers at a lower price as a reason for why we n

Breakup Facebook rhetoric is so counterproductive. It achieves nothing. It solves no problem. The country has real problems. “I don’t like Facebook” isn’t even remotely one of them. I won’t be voting for her, that’s for sure.

I applaud the author for sharing their life experience. Just sharing this may help others. I want to add that these choices aren't black and white. Tech and helping people aren't mutually exclusive things. The author could have mi

A chronological feed without ads, how refreshing! I have a related idea. There could be an open, machine-readable format websites could publish updates in; and clients that could consume these "feeds" in the way the user chooses.

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make. I don’t care to argue about whether we should avoid causing emotional and physical suffering to other beings. Carnivorous animals kill to survive, unlike all of us living in the modern world. I
