Worse, they'll happily sell you Whoisguard for domains that don't support it. When you discover it's not usable, they'll give you a refund, then include it again in the next billing cycle. I switched to Namecheap based o

I'm not disputing climate change, or the causes of it, nor that rainfall in December in parts of the UK was at a record high, with localised flooding, but this: "The UK just had its wettest December ever, with more than double the

Not to detract from any technical achievement, but I don't think a solution that requires you to wear a device on your finger is ever going to reach mass-market acceptance. Maybe niche (industrial?) use cases? (And even then I'm s

I first became aware of computers as a thing with the launch of 8-bit home computers in the early 80s. As a result, I seem to have a hard time imagining the computing scene before then, as in the 80s it seemed so nascent - so the fact that

Nice idea, but I'm not sure about the weighting in favour of PRs. A project that gets lots of issues but proportionally few PRs gets a pass. See material-ui for example. Also, badge for the README.md might help spread awareness of your

Why does an island which is barely long enough to support a runway need a runway?!

The Roxen [1] web-server had a much more advanced example of this for a site they produced for a watch manufacturer. The watch on the home-page displayed the current time with moving hands that were behind reflective glass. It was a server

Yup. I put together a successful proof-of-concept with React and PouchDB / CouchDB, but quickly concluded the lack of granular security was its Achilles heel. I switched to Meteor with GroundDB for offline support, and haven't loo

Dumb question time: Why would idenTrust, part of whose business is selling SSL certificates, cross-sign for Lets Encrypt, whose business is giving them away for free?

5 lifetimes? That's $90M per lifetime. Comfortable is one word for it! Not to detract from the generosity of giving away the $44.5B of course...

Clearly then you didn't read the article, or even the title. It isn't about monitors but rather TVs. 40" is too small for a 4K TV. $1800 is to expensive.

Philips is too small and BenQ too expensive (and no stand). Any others?

If it was just boosted, then presumably 'temporal gravity' (or whatever that's called here) would pull it back down again.

"2,000% price hike" is a link-bait headline. Not to excuse the hike, but lets call it what it is - a 20 times increase. Any use of percentages over double-digits is asking for confusion. And using a four-digit percentage is intent

By way of contrast - not only does the London underground have countdown clocks on platforms (accuracy +/- 1 minute), they also have an API allowing 3rd party developers to integrate tube (and bus) times into transport apps. https:&#x

You're right - it seems there is a little more leeway here. "Annonce" (the typo) was what the parent comment correctly pulled up, but the original form of the verb should have been maintained in any case.

"Apple Announces" (as in the original arrtical title) is correct since Apple, the company, is a singular entity (and would still be even if it was called "Apples"). "John announces", "the boys announce&qu
