Wait, what happened to freely disclosing your salary to everyone? Remember the hashtag movement?? You mean to tell me that this is actually a bad idea?

It's pretty simple: If I have a website that relies on advertising to make money and the majority of people coming to my site have ad block, they will never see my ads and I won't make money. But it really only hurts the small bus

We can't keep people from getting addicted to drugs either. Using your logic, there is no moral case for making them legal. You really aren't winning any arguments here. No worries though. Developers will continue to come back

No. Completely blocking legitimate ads and destroying any possible business model for the person with the content is the problem now.

The example of the doctor they gave doesn't even speak Swedish. This is most likely why he isn't getting hired. They should make it their mission to learn the language of the country and then put it on their resume. I can bet th

Consider the fact that ad blockers and the Internet culture of ignoring ads has led us to this point. I suppose it's a good parallel to the drug laws: you push people to the illegal market when it becomes impossible to get what you wan

Even if the underlying components changed, they could still keep angular backward compatible. They choose not to. It's the same with many other frameworks and languages. Most of these drastic changes have to do with the politics of t

So..you would be satisfied with paywalls on every website you want to visit and increased restrictions when it comes to content sharing? It's not the only way to make money on the Internet, but it is one of the only ways someone with v

Amazon is really a terrible company that should have died a horrible death along with all of the other un-profitable companies during the late 90s. On top of this, I don't know how they aren't getting fined by the government for a

Let's be a little more honest here. You say this, but like everybody else that makes this statement, it only applies to things that align with your narrow view of the world. It's a common tactic to root out and silence opposing v
