If you are perfectly prepared for your passing and made your will, arranged all the financial stuffs, told your friends and family everything needed etc. then you don't need to give access to your accounts. But many people don't h

"Traffic is exposure"? What are you talking about? People see links in Google and FB, a significant amount click on those links and visit the news site. How does FB keep the ad revenue? Your comment makes no sense.

Google and FB can easily drive 30%+ of a news site's traffic. If that's not value to a news site I don't know what is.

Yeah and it's not just the US but also France/UK/Germany/Canada, all the western countries usually held in high regards for science, the lack of enthusiasm (for lack of a better word) is rather disappointing. I don'

It's hyperbolic but it's a common sentiment that I tend to agree with. The web dev world changes too fast and too often, many stacks involve absurd complexity for dubious performance and maintainability and other metrics.

They are, if you follow the threads they are apparently quite available through email and has responded to quite a number of people. Though probably not everyone, given the amount of email that they must be receiving right now.

So the authors are disciples of a professor specialized in superconductor, their own Master and PhD were about superconductor, then they created a lab/company specifically for researching superconductor. This is contrary to my earlier

While I understand the frustration, they're pretty good at keeping about:config settings around. I can't remember the last time they removed one. The same can't be said about Chrome.

I tried Marketplace a few times but always gave up because the search filter was so bad. There was no way to force it to include a particular search term, e.g. searching for "rtx 3060" would return tons of posts without "3060

Wow are you the author of Kiwi? If so I want to say thank you for the great browser. Initially when I heard about a Chrome-like browser on Android with full extension support I was skeptical, it sounded too good to be true. But it turned ou

That's too cynical. I'm sure if it was 5 unknown poor people or 5 random people the interest would have been the same. People just love following search and rescue stories, that's all there is to it. E.g. the Thailand Cave re

It's funny, I have an old Gmail account that I haven't logged in in years. That account had my current account listed as a recovery email. One day I received an email to my current account from Google saying that it had blocked a

If you use a browser that supports uBlock (e.g. Firefox or Kiwi) you can easily block the app advertisement as well.

That's true, but for SSD you have to deal with TLC and QLC. Pick your poison I guess.

Isn't API key pretty much can always be recovered client side? If API key is hardcoded in the app it's trivial to get. If it's dynamically fetched it's also trivial to intercept the network call. I don't think there

Exactly, she was only CEO since 2014. Saying she made YT is laughable, if anything most of the annoying things at YT happened under her reign, from bogus DMCAs to dislike button removal to the force fed YT shorts and so on.
