Custom rules are the useful ones! The cost of Radar is a huge gripe of mine as well, we have lost thousands to a single fraudster that would have been easy to block with simple rules... The loss was less then the cost of Radar though. ;( Ot

They have found that small strobe lights mounted along fence lines work reasonably well. The lights are solar powered and free to ranchers... Oddly the ranchers that keep having run ins with wolf packs activity refuse to use any deterrents

I find it terribly amusing that e-waste is one of their arguments. Every Apple device I buy requires a new set of cables. I replace my hardware every the years... Almost as if creating waste wasn't really a problem for them as long as

I'm a straight male and I feel uncomfortable in parts of TN, WV, AL, GA. I go there to see family and I don't like it. I feel like some of these folks don't just dislike LGBT, they dislike everyone. Downtown Seattle at 4am in

Three plus per working day is not terribly hard, you just have to make smaller, more focused commits and be productive. Github claims I have 3,135 in 2017, 2,361 in 2018 and 1,855 in 2019. 7,351 in 3 years.

not sure i agree on that, a good capitalist will try to own everything he can... how does that help anyone but himself?

I agree in this case the author created this problem for himself by not following some norms, namely getting a non-refundable deposit for his time and energy. lesson learned for seller and a good reminder for the rest of us.

Why come up with new ideas and solve hard problems when you can just be the User for X and become a unicorn based no nothing but smoke, mirrors and clever accounting like WeWork?

As someone who has worked in affiliate marketing for 20+ years... 10 cents per clicks is very very very expensive and non sustainable. Many affiliate programs are getting thousands and thousands of clicks per day, there are solutions that c

this is a very interesting and good question. for people that love decentralization... they sure are dependent on a centralized internet infrastructure.

I dunno, my friend is an electrician and he said he is constantly solving the problem of how to route the conduit pipe around all the existing stuff in the available space. Every day is a puzzle and he has sent me pics... sometimes progress

if no one can sell to them, the Chinese market is a moot point. Sometimes national security interests supersede a single darling companies bottomline. Plus, considering the Chinese track record of stealing technology, if that machine goes t

Oddly enough, I still use pen and paper most of the time for smaller/solo projects. I've even written kanban boards and todo apps in the past, and there is a plethora of free ones available, I still prefer paper though.

3k isn't much. Try it for a couple months and see how you like it before fully committing, not a single person I know personally that has tried it, lasted more then 6 months. And the few stories I've heard of contacts that did las

Of course traveling pays more, it's more stressful and generally consumes more of your life. I would expect a smaller paycheck if the number of things I am willing to do for the company decreases. I find that endlessly arguing with you

So you mean, it should work? Not sure I'd agree with that being a distinction among great programmers as much as a minimum bar of entry to call yourself one.

One of them is the web/system app that powers an Alexa top 10 site. Keep trying. ;) In fact I can think of at least 10 sites in the alexa top 100 that don't have any tests.

Many things are not testable. Not sure I'd use that as a reason to judge someone down. In fact all the most productive teams I've worked on or with, don't have anywhere near full test coverage. The best had none in fact.

Having an "elite" job that is very financially rewarding and the lifestyle that comes with, is what a lot of big-tech is offering in exchange for loose morals. Thats how these people justify turning a blind eye for so long. I&#x27

yes its very much the normal. Some companies will even ask you to write an entire app, send it in and never reply whatsoever, even when prompted(Uber did this to me). I have heard some other pretty disheartening stories... hiring in tech is

I think this is a perfect case of "drinking too much of the kool aid". Google hasn't been nice and fuzzy for a long time now, and anyone working there thinking the organization is going to change "for the better", i
