Prime Video + Prime Shipping + Prime Music is ~16 USD per year if you get the subscription from India. I used to live in India but not anymore. So I was keen to only use Prime Video + Prime Music (since Prime Shipping doesn't work out

I had unsubscribed from Prime Video for precisely this reason. I think it's about time I gave it another chance.

This is probably why use one-time-password via SMS is so rampant in many many services. This kind of auth has mostly eliminated large scale hacks, however OTP over SMS still won't help targeted hacking. But in general the public at lar

Clearly this is well orchestrated and professional. I'm wondering what could be the motivation for such an attack. There is no monetary benefit whatsoever. Perhaps some AI company wanting to acquire solid data to train their models?

AB testing is not an evil act by itself. It's an effective technique to understand the user needs. But what you do with the gathered data could make you evil. No business will want to be out of sync with its users. And no business will

Agreed. Influential people buying influential media outlets can be a concern if used in a biased way. But unfortunately it's not illegal. If one were to go ahead and make it illegal how exactly would one frame the law? There's no

My experience has been that standing in a circle puffing on e-cigarettes is every bit as social if not more. Most cigarette smokers want to quit and they often get inspired by vapers standing around them.

As a vaper (ex-smoker), let me assert that vaping is like driving Tesla Model S P100D and smoking is akin to driving 2003 Ford Focus. I'd never gateway to Ford Focus 2003 from Tesla Model S P100D. Cheeky but true.

I used to land on Amazon as a defacto shopping place, until about a year ago. Now Aliexpress is the defacto for me.

As with everything else there is always a spectrum and this represents the dark end of the spectrum. I follow a bunch of tech youtubers (like MKBHD) who represent the happy side of the spectrum.

I just gave it a go and it didn't really look like a Photoshop replacement, more like a really trimmed version of Photoshop. But for the usecases it serves, it's probably enough. Not an expert in this domain but I'm struggl

Update: I've been using this for a couple of days now. It has proved quite useful. For all those who keep swaying to google news or hackernews instead of doing work, this may save your time a bit.

I like how it's just enough obtrusive. Not too much, not too little. And quite easy to add sites to the list.

I do not see any feature in Insomnia that's not already in Postman. Am I missing something? Edit: I do not mean to undermine the effort, just wondering if Postman users have any incentive to switch.

I was recently researching ebook readers and found Kobo devices way better than Kindle (and cheaper too). Especially for somebody who is a power user of devices. Without getting into specifities, I found that in general Kobo is more open.
