As much as I dislike PayPal, I would never want to trade it for Bitcoin. All it takes is one zero-day exploit for all of my funds to disappear at once without a trace. Any purchase I would make has zero protection and zero recourse for reco

As someone who earns some revenue from affiliate marketing, I doubt this. It's already hard enough to compete with others for a 7% cut. For 2.5%, it's probably a better investment of time for others to find a different source of r

Absolutely not. In order for United to exercise THEIR civil rights in this entirely civil case and sue for lost revenue related to not being able to get their crew to Louisville, they should have let him fly after confirming his refusal to

This is kind of a weird statistic to try to analyze. So many uses of nginx are just the act of putting an Apache/IIS/etc site behind nginx, so technically, both servers still have market share but you only see nginx. It's jus

Well, the device can auto-update - this just means that it would need to be plugged in within 11 years of manufacture in order to be able to receive firmware updates, not that it would break after 11 years. And reastically, the server could

That's not the best choice for everyone. I easily get more value from the miles by using them for flights than I would with cash back.

Can you explain more about the cigarette burn trick? I've never heard of it.

There are no clear answers; all the info about this is a bit fuzzy because there's no requirement for ISPs to disclose past or current activities surrounding their selling of data. The bill was actually enacted to prevent privacy rules

I was under the impression that items "Sold and shipped by Amazon" were actually purchased by Amazon as well, which would imply quality control (for example, I don't expect Amazon to buy Apple products from anyone other than

Could you explain more about what Cloudflare/DNSimple are doing to workaround this, from a technical standpoint?

If they had offered it 10 years ago when 3G was available in most places, it would still be pretty useful today. 3G is good enough for 95% of what I use mobile data for.

True, but they also show a preview of the page in the message, which would require fetching it. Pretty much every messaging service does that now. Also, there are legitimate reasons to scan URLs (malware, for example). Again, not trying to

Those same photos might have just been posted elsewhere on Facebook publicly and flagged there. Not that I am supporting Facebook or censorship or anything, but on the technical aspect, maybe there's an explanation that doesn't in

I'm pretty sure they meant Racket-specific queries that have enough context to make clear it's the language, not just plugging the term "racket" into the search engine. The point being that Google is better at picking up

Writing it off as "whataboutism" is a way to avoid uncomfortable lines of questioning No it's not, it's to point out a clear logical fallacy in OP's post. Why exactly did so many people magically become dead-set

This is classic Whataboutism[1]. The startup community has been criticizing Obama on many of these issues for the past eight years as well. That Obama engaged in such activity doesn't suddenly mean that Trump's administration is j

This isn't about Facebook though, it's about some prototype he created earlier. I'd say he probably had SSNs because lots of universities used SSNs as student IDs before it became universally clear why that was a terrible ide

If you're sending financially critical email, you probably shouldn't be using the $10/month tier of an online service. Email is complicated, I feel like most of these types of services explain the tradeoffs of each price poin
