I'm not sure what you expect "Google ads serving malware" to mean other than exactly this. Of course it's not as simple as going into Google ad manager and clicking "upload virus". The fact that it included par

High speed passenger rail doesn't work in the US because freight is prioritized over moving people. That's the short version at least. I found this video to be a pretty good walkthrough - https://www.youtube.com/wa

There are already loads of questions that employers aren't allowed to ask. Are you married? Are you pregnant? How many kids do you have? Is your significant other black? When was the last time you went to church? So, you're about

Rate limiters are fantastic for companies and developers starting to integrate with a new API. There's great comfort in knowing - no matter how badly I screw up I won't end up with a $10k+ bill at the end of the month. The way mos

The point is that your precious tourist dollars go towards supporting an oppressive regime so that you can view their citizens in zoo-like conditions. It's a disgusting choice to make.

Wealthfront has raised ~$100M and Betterment has raised ~$200M. If they are only burning $4M/year to grow as fast as they are, they are doing fantastically well. I suspect though that the author's burn rates are off by an order of

If you're looking for something in the iterim, noclip produced a documentary on the making of Doom (2016) that's pretty engaging. It briefly discusses the Zenimax lawsuit but doesn't go deep into it.

Facebook and I believe Twitter report Monthly Active Users. This isn't some smoke and mirrors number. Sure, bots may count in this number, but they aren't referencing total signups when they say "Users" like you imply.

There are ~1800 widely supported emojis. That blows out the search space. There are 10^19 possible passwords for a 6 character alphanum+emoji, the same as a 10 character password using just alphanum + simple keyboard symbols.

That's exactly the problem with the person I replied to. Maybe there's a micropayment solution that someone will crack the nut on after decades of people talking about it. But that solution is definitely not 5¢ an article for WS

You need to separate the concept of popular and trending. Make two lists. Have a popular list at a couple fixed time grains - all time, last year, last 30 days (what you have now). Then for your trending list use a z-score like described in
