The UK will never approve that, so that's at least 2 years before it can even pass let alone be implemented.

I think the community-ran nature of it makes it super hard to discover new discord communities though, and it leads to duplication where new games have a bunch of communities pop up that divide the userbase. I know there's third party

As well they should, otherwise it'd be impossible to get ubers from certain places or at certain times.

Because, of course, you might expand it later. Sure, I'm adding this shitty console based logger, but since it's wrapped in ILogger I'll later come and write a FileBasedLogger, a DBLogger and a KafkaProducerLogger for when we

In those years FB ads was a toddler compared to the platform of today, I worked with FB ads at the time and until 2013-2014 too (author went to Nanigans after FB) For starters, today's platform is completely mobile focused. FBX (produc

I ran a topsite for a while, as you say probably a stupid thing to do, but it was fun and a good learning experience.

A guy I used to work with emailed the CEO of our company, a certain cloud software shop with thousands of employees, asking for the company to buy him a plane. There was some more to it, about using it to participate on a competition repres

font enumeration is done by basically trying to use a certain font and then measuring the div it's writing to. Also can be done a bit fancier drawing to a canvas element and then taking a fingerprint of it (but presumably slower?). It

Guessing OS is pretty simple though, I recommend the book "Silence on the wire" [0] for a thorough explanation of passive network fingerprinting. TL;DR is that the each TCP stack has unique characteristics that are hard to spoof (

Hey I have a real world example, it's not a problem with the JVM but with the way JVM interop would work for a .NET shop. A company I was working at was using a java library to do one specific thing related to file uploads, despite all

YMMV too. Personally, in my local McDonald's I can put an order without talking to a human, pick it up and buy some weed on the way out. Is that representative of every McD? No.

As Dave Chapelle would put it; you can't do comparative suffering. There might be people starving in Africa, but I still want my lunch.

Except in HBO's Silicon Valley, the box (or more broadly the appliance model) was probably the right choice. A compression product like that would be a much easier sell to enterprise if it's on-premise than as a cloud service.

Facebook runs the tightest ship when it comes to ad formats. They don't allow rich media ads at all either, so malvertising is almost non-existent on Facebook. They wouldn't be impacted by this at all, in my opinion who this hurt

It should be telling that generally most advertising is paid per impression, not per click (even when the advertiser pays per click, their cost per click is generally calculated from CTR and thus really a cost per impression) You might not

Seems like you haven't read the better ad coalition standard, because it doesn't say anything about creative content – it's just about formats. And, honestly, that site is basically a south african blog; as much as I love pic

To be fair, most of the crazy fast typing is repetition of a few commands so they get used to cycling through them fast. It's all about training yourself so you can transition from macro to micro play more easily.
