I have a bit of a different take. I don't necessarily believe it's about suppressing votes from a demographic. I think this is just a classic example of government mismanagement. They create a Catch-22 style set of circumstance

Had to look up Monday.com. Watched the 5 minute overview on YouTube. Is it fair to say it's more or less like AirTable? Because that's what it looks like to an outsider. But Monday.com might have more integrations with other t

Biased how? Because I disagree with you? And the courts always get things right, yeah? Especially when it's a rushed decision based on an urgent and time sensitive event? Also, I have no skin in the UK game at all. I'm not a c

Ah yes, the old "you're not a lawyer so your opinion is worthless" argument. As I mentioned, every single thing I read by legal professionals leading up to this decision said it was entirely legal. I am not a UK citizen,

I have to disagree. Not only does it seem completely lawful to me, you'll notice that none of the justices could cite an actual law that was violated. Their summary makes this a bit clearer - "...was unlawful because it had th

Yes, NZBgeek is like searching a torrent site. I believe you can add any NZB's to whichever downloader you have (nzbget, sickbeard, etc.) If not, one could always have two downloaders installed, one associated with NZBs for the autom

I've heard NZBGeek.info is pretty good and worth the lifetime fee (currently $30) as far as indexers go. I've also heard that free software like NZBGet which takes in the NZB's and downloads everything for you, verifies the

I'd agree with you but the user agreement that you sign when turning on the device the first time states they can do shit like this. EULAs are an entirely separate problem, though.

"But why anyone takes TripAdvisor seriously after the whole "Shed at Dulwich" debacle is beyond me." Let's be fair - the Shed at Dulwich was done by Vice and took a fake phone and months of effort, along with an

Yes, that's the point I was trying to make - your country would have to be willing to participate. That's risky, albeit to varying degrees, depending on the country a person/business reside in because governments can change

These excerpts taken together: 1) "As a Swiss company, when it comes to the data of Proton users, we will only comply with the laws of Switzerland, the jurisdiction of our headquarters and where all of our servers are located. As we

I'd like to point out one thing. The people at ProtonMail are clearly under the belief that they are only subject to Swiss law because they are located in Switzerland. That's not my understanding of the law at all. Granted, it

I was wondering the exact same thing. Who hides and who seeks? I'm guessing that it's more like people go in small groups and do it within their own group but just with the size of the Ikea store being the fun factor. Or maybe

My wife takes a LOT of photos. She's not an amateur photographer or anything like that. She's just always wanted to have photos of people (particularly our children), events, etc. for memories. Even she doesn't care too muc

If it was completely decoupled back in 2012 then there wouldn't be any advantage to leasing the subdomains or Google being peeved by it enough to take action. I suspect what is more likely is that the subdomains were separate but not c
137.
by turc1656 7y ago
It's possible that the description Google used is a bit misleading. Meaning that they might actually be doing what you said - splitting out the subdomains as their own entities and the natural effect of this is to have a separate rank

What does the last sentence mean exactly? "The IRS is fundamental in preventing businesses from engaging in transactions that aggressively reduce their tax liability." It's not clear to me what is actually being said here

I thought I was going to be the first to mention Cinemania but it seems you beat me to it! It was a major influence on how I found great/classic movies to watch. It was really informative and just overall a pretty great piece of soft

Solid interview. But one thing I saw that was missing was that Amazon also doesn't charge itself the 15% marketplace fee (it varies slightly depending on category but most are 15%) that it charges 3rd party sellers. Since Amazon dire

But once you surpass roughly 4,000 people per square mile, things inevitably turn blue. Any political heat map shows this. There's a heavy correlation. Surely, urban vs rural is related to red vs blue, no?

by turc1656 7y ago
Honestly, I think the real underlying problem with America's politics is that the Federal government has grossly overstepped its intended scope. The federal government frequently tries (and many time succeeds) to impose laws on the en

This was actually much more interesting than I thought it would be. And well-researched.

Ah, good point. Wasn't thinking of mobile because I'm in the minority on news consumption. I do pretty much all of it from a desktop/PC.

"the poorest spend at least half of their wage on rent" Now that I believe. Similar situation in the US for sure. Hard to find places less than $800 a month in most places and those places usually aren't great. If you&#x

That's a fair point, because that would be in the 70% range. But that doesn't factor in income assistance. I know essentially nothing about UK law in this regard, but I imagine they have some sort of income assistance programs f
