I don't believe the issue with BCH is the technology, although it's seen as more of a band-aid solution by detractors. I think the main issues are with the centralization aspect of Alibaba miners controlling 49% of nodes, Roger Ve

Talking admin and not policy, he had a number of issues. The secret calendars may have violated federal law, the large raises for his aides that the White House declined and he went around them and did anyway, the large increase in security

While I do agree, Drupal does publish just the patch for these critical updates for both D7 and D8. You can patch an old version of the site pretty quickly without upgrading or working back in the inevitable core hacks. Each of the big 3 Dr

Then you start jamming affiliate links in places so you get a percentage. Then you target more and more keywords that are convertable. Then you have a newsletter that pushes those products. Then you take money to write articles/reviews

Fourteen years is the longest contempt term so far I believe so it can go quite a while. I remember wondering how long the Judith Miller case could go on in contempt, but that was only 85 days apparently.

I can't wait until the credit verification questions get even harder. "What check number did you use to pay the 13,753rd dollar of your car loan in 2001?" "In 2014, you signed up for an American Express Gold card. Which

It is also a perk of a number of credit cards. For example, Amex Platinum = $100 Global Entry credit + $200 airline credit + (up to) $180 Uber Credit + xx,000 signup points > $550 fee (if you travel)

Have you tried changing up your strength training? There's no fun to doing more push ups, crunches, etc. but my goal is to beat my high score at deadlifting, etc. each week which keeps me motivated. Or flipping a tractor tire from X to

That's part of the reason I ended up switching away from HD. It was a ton of work to get estimates, and there was such a delay if there were multiple invoices from different providers with my deductible that I ended up having to pay se

I've never liked that programmers in general seem to imply that there is only room for the very best that develop for love and not money. The world needs a lot of mediocre programmers banging out CRUD sites for at least the near future

How many other female CEOs can you name? And how many of those are portrayed negatively even infrequently or regularly bashed in comments? Mary Barra made $22.6 million, more than all the male auto CEOs. I haven't really ever seen much

Most people can't come up with $2k in case of an emergency. Most people are living paycheck to paycheck. Don't be most people. There is a compromise between living for the moment and living for the future. If you are saving for a

90% of the reason I block ads on mobile is performance. Even on a newer phone, any news website takes forever to load all the junk and ads.

I'm a little confused on how blocking ads is stealing bandwidth, but blocking flash ads and scripts is not. Flash ads may be the most profitable for a given site, and the scripts may well affect revenue for marketing, analytics, affiliates,

I think Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc. are piling up cash because they don't want to pay taxes on it to repatriate it. By 2013, they estimate $238 billion or so of tech cash will be overseas, and each of those major tech companies has doubl
