Suppose web ads were banned tomorrow. How would sites adapt? Many sites will shut down. A few sites would probably go Wikipedia style and ask for donations, run by the generosity of a few. But I think the vast majority of remaining sites wi

Why is anyone entitled to as much content as cable for a Netflix-like price?

This isn't how any of my workplaces have worked. When someone leaves, they or their boss sends an email announcing the role changes. Which companies practice the role@ method?

Seems to affect Target ( https://www.target.com/ ) and Reddit ( https://www.reddit.com/ ) as well.

I met Kevin at the YC hackathon last year and first heard about Kevin's ideas around note-taking there. I'm really enjoying Dendron so far. The biggest thing for me is the lightweight structure- I would have never created a hierar

What kind of service would you expect if you ask them to give you a list of every LP you've ever purchased from them?

This is less than 1KB before gzip. There are better performance improvements on the page for sure.

If you value self-accomplishment, why not do it yourself? If you want others to value self-accomplishment over money, maybe they decline because they can't pay rent with self-accomplishment.

How many end users prefer to adjust their phone background CPU activity alert threshold just so that some developers can use a different push notification framework?

Yes, but we can infer from his initial actions that he preferred keeping his job over maintaining the blog.

Why not paypal.com and facebook.com, for consistency?

It's too late once a news reporter is interested.

> a business model that works through product placement I pay because I don't want video blogspam and advertorials. There's lots on QVC that you can watch if you want to support that style of content.

Privacy isn't binary. It's a spectrum. A light and sometimes remembering to close the camera cover is better than a light and no cover.
