Indeed. Is it just the anchor tag or are other methods cool? If the site lets me embed their content in an iframe is that cool? What about bookmarks, all I am really doing is saving a link. What about link shorteners? Do they become illegal

I remember I used to do filetype searches for mp3, mp4, flac, etc... and get all sorts of good stuff. I would find ftp servers with thousands of songs and just download anything interesting. I feel like the Google search algorithm peaked ma

For articles like this I often wonder this too. I don't know if it is developer Stockholm syndrome, a clever joke, or self-flagellation. It seems most articles on JS are aptly summarized as "here I am overcoming yet another critic

It took the Paradise papers to show that Bitfinex and Tether were connected and it will likely take a lawsuit to show how their banking is too. My guess is they proved their reserves by borrowing from their customers for a short period of t

I played Magic briefly as a teen and the thing that bothered me the most was how mana worked and the tendency to either get mana flooded or mana screwed. I even played a custom format with friends where you separated your deck and your mana

In article 14.17 what is the legal definition of "source code"? Are comments in code "source code"? There isn't really a precise definition of source code is there? I could run many sorts of IP through a compiler of

It would be great if cryptocurrencies regularly switched POW hash functions to disable hardware companies from trying to monopolize the currency with hardware patents. I doubt the companies that own BTC core would allow it though. BTC is no

The benefit of everybody hating the new macbooks is that people are going to be writing stuff on the old ones for a while, which will make them respect CPU resources more and performance of web apps will go up. There are a lot of sites wher

Strange to see a company which deems a bunch of unpopular idiot white supremacist trolls to be too extreme of speech supporting a network which has allowed child pornography to flourish online at a scale never before seen. Bold move.

If the sites don't want the traffic from links that drive their revenue then why don't they identify the servers which are prefetching content and IP ban them and file abuse complaints. They probably have very identifiable User-Ag

The mechanics of manipulating price are just too easy not to do it. The wash trading is clearly so bad on many exchanges that I bet there are agreements with the miners to recuperate losses to trading fees. It is in all parties interest to
