Worth quite a bit to get metrics like heartbeat, what type of stuff you get physically excited about. No wonder they want to connect it to a real user account. Speaking of which, I'll create a fake FB account now and start nurturing it

Ah yes, that obstacle turns it from dubious into quite solid. :)

That's interesting. +[] is quicker to type than toString(). Wonder if there are any caveats. :D

They were not a publicly traded company though, and/or with clear intent from the beginning to follow rules and regulations.

To manage your own coins I'd recommend something like Trezor. The one I bought in 2016 is still supported and getting active updates.

I've always seen this as a weird argument. Most people live paycheck to paycheck and don't have the option to hold even if they wanted to. And those that have extra income will invest it in whatever gains them interest, with the e

Quickly skimming through the Wired piece, am I weird for not being that uncomfortable with companies like Coinbase managing your crypto? Or Namebase.io managing Handshake domains? Most people don't care about self-hosting/self-man

Yeah Netflix is the reason I switched from ExpressVPN to NordVPN.

Frontpage still says $5/year (well it actually says "Like, $5/yr").

Nice touch with the "Open [My email provider]" button/link (to confirm your email) after signing up! Haven't seen that anywhere before.

Well (just reading the headline) I certainly wouldn't wanna be making a hobby device targeting the German market... sure if this only applies to companies who have been in business for X years and/or are selling Y+ devices.

It's not. The consensus (here at least) seems quite clear.

What a little authoritarian you are. :) That train of thought applied across the web would end up a clusterfuck. Who decides what and why? Authors can already post whatever links in the description, why do you want to force someone to do so

Uh, what are you even saying? That racism is so prevalent that it pops up everywhere naturally? And only censorship can fix it?

Humans have been using tracking software (that collects data from hand histories and overlays stats on top of the tables) since around 2005 at least...

I mean I played everything from 4 to 12 tables back in the day and you of course do collect more information on other players like that whether you're a human or a bot. Oftentimes, especially when down to fewer tables, I would have a c

I used to play professionally and played weekends religiously as well. On a less serious note I especially loved playing on Friday 13th as I'm not superstitious and would rake in everything from the "unlucky" players.

A bit late to the party but I've been thinking about this too. One of the main problems with platforms like FB and Reddit is that the posts/discussions are shortlived. They bubble up to the top in the feed when they're fresh

It's also a function of being practical. Spending a lot of time thinking and worrying about what might go wrong in various scenarios would take enjoyment out of life. This is where people differ. Some are happy-go-lucky's, some ar

Do you have an iPhone at hand to confirm? Because I'm quite sure that just the power button for a second or two is enough. At least it was with iPhone SE (original) back in spring 2020 (I'm nowadays on Android).

Yeah that's tricky to do in your pocket though. If you take out your phone and hastily do something like that you're gonna activate "I have something to hide" suspicions. But as another commenter pointed out you can hold

Hmm okay yeah, that works. Had to hold it for 5+ seconds and then it rebooted.
