Their products, especially APIS, have issues. Serious issues that are not being addressed because it's not their currently hip product.

I'm against cryptos in their current form. It was better, and hopefully it will get better, but now it's a mess. Investors, buzzwords, hype, ...

The market is so small that one or few bigger holders/investors can move with it significantly.

Emulators don't make piracy legal. So it would be the same argument as for DRM-enabled videos or music. And that is a pretty bad argument.

I think there were instances where the "service" went down after intervention (banned domains, etc). So no one to pay, no one to get keys from.

The main problem might be patents :) Samsung includes charging of medical device[1] in their wireless charging patent. Although the patent[2] seems to focus on the charging method/devices, rather than where they are located. 1. http:&

Wouldn't wireless charging pad work well for this? Or is it unnecessary complicated considering how long batteries last?

Or have a removable rack that you can pull out and slide into a cupboard. No need to have two machines connected to water, drain, and electricity. It works this way, more or less, in industrial settings. You have trays that go into dishwash

I was under the impression Google publicized these vulnerabilities before the period was over. Like 4 or 5 days earlier, not much out of 6 months, but still (I believe MS haven't released patches yet).

First of all, I absolutely loathe emojis and hate that they are on by default with no (easy) way to disable (turn into flat glyphs in the color of the text, not :some_stupid_name: as some applications offer). Having dozens of sets of emojis

The first part is not true. And while I agree with the second, I'm talking about general language questions not related to web in any way (no DOM manipulation, no http requests, etc..).

Ah, good point, I forgot about this.

It's also the issue with git, if it goes down and you don't update your local clones ~daily (or as other mentioned don't have system in place that would allow you to update somewhat locally).

While I kind of hate Atlassian products (bloated, horrible APIs), and Bitbucket has some serious UX problems (Find), it's still better than have your repos be offline. There's not much that can go wrong on a single instance with a

Acceptable way would be "Hey, it's done like this, but since the language sucks there's this random library where you can do it this way". Including jQuery for one small task would be stupid. Including jQuery in a non-

This doesn't seem like a valid approach to me. To take a specific group, measure something, and assume that metric had an impact on them being in that group. It's interesting nevertheless.

Yeah, it was a sarcasm. The article (quoted in parent comment) called it a secret implementation.

Your diagram got me a bit confused as the empty space was right over the fold and I was wondering why the comments wouldn't load and what a weird error [place where bad things are] is.

There's loads of videos of various parrots bopping and dancing to music. Can't tell if it's learned behavior, but they do it.

While it stands out to me (for different reasons than you think), it doesn't evoke a message of awareness. I see "fixing" one issue by creating another as worse than doing nothing. Especially since there's a clear way ho
