So the way to get the elderly, non-tech savvy, and low usage users to buy a new router is to make them suffer financially?

Not saying you're wrong, but the whole topic of discussion here is that Russia is moving to block Telegram specifically for it's encryption. So either they're actually doing this because they're scared of the people enab

We actually might need it more than ever. Only just 5 years ago the number of visitors to Iceland was roughly the same as the population (300,000+).. these days it's in the multiple millions. The increase in tourism has caused an influ

Don't forget to take into account that new words are added to each course regularly. For newer languages and any of the beta languages, the words you are taught can change very frequently.

I believe this person is referring to the fact that Telegram uses their own encryption scheme instead of one of the more common standards. In this scenario, while the encryption has never been broken, it is theoretically possible that the c

This largely depends on the language. More complex languages, yes, but for languages like swedish/norwegian/danish where there is very little grammar, I find it's much easier to progress within the limits of their program.

Perhaps that's because they have too many words? If you look at some of the core languages like German the course has a 'words' tab and it shows you exactly how strong it thinks you know each word and when you saw each word l

I've been on duolingo since the beginning and am sure that I've spent more time with the site and app than 95% of the userbase. I've learned languages with duolingo.. and by that I don't mean duolingo will teach you a la

I think it's worth emphasizing how much people are being tricked. Users are only being asked for permission to their "messages", are given no further information, and can not proceed if they do not submit to the request. If y

I think you mean that we'll come to accept it, correct? Much like we accept that most people say 'USB' when they mean memory stick, or when someone says the word 'microwave' we assume they are talking about the meta

Anecdotally, I've ran into a lot of stuff over the years that I've needed namecheap's support with and they'll stay with you on a live chat session as long as it takes to make sure everything is getting resolved.

If you read up on the GDPR, the focus is on people 'deliberately doing something wrong'.. which could be not following proper security guidelines, not keeping proper records, not notifying the users in a timely manner, and all sor

You only have to worry about penalties if you're deliberately doing something wrong. Auditing can be done internally, and if making sure you're not putting your customers at risk is too big of a task for a business, maybe the busi

It does matter because if/when they comply with these new regulations, it diminishes large portions of reasons to be mad at them because it will help curb all of the shady stuff they have been doing for more than a decade. So yes, it d

Most people aren't that naïve. The problem is not allowing a company access to your data. The problem is how it's used. Just because you allowed another company to handle your data should not give them carte blanche to do whate
