The problem for content produces is that if I end up in a situation where I can't get your content without ads (I'm willing to pay), then I'm eventually going to not view your content, and I'm going to not share your con

Don't there already exist several brands and models of cars that meet the standards these companies say they can't possibly meet? (I mean the Chevy Volt, Toyota Prius, and Tesla models probably meet emissions standards, right?) It

I use lots of micropayment systems - Netflix, Apple Music, Spotify, etc. Seems like they're on the rise right now.

>The argument isn't that it's unethical to not watch ads, it's that it's unethical to not watch the ads but still take what they offer in exchange. And that argument is completely and utterly bogus. When you broadcast

Probably, but it might not solve the problems you have with ads, if those problems are tracking, page size, load times, or screen real estate.

It can also be seen as acting like the mob. "It'd be a shame if your nice clean web page suddenly got ruined with ads. You know, we can keep that from happening for a price." No thanks. I'll continue to block ads and not

In the US I would never consider any such job. I've got a family to feed and I can't dick around with a "maybe you'll have a job in 3 months, maybe you won't" type job. I nearly quit a job I had when they sugge

That's pretty drastic. That nukes the derived data folder of all your Xcode projects . If you work on more than 1, using this to solve a problem in 1 will lead to needing to rebuild all of your projects. That seems a bit extreme for a

This is a small thing - but how do you pronounce the name? Looking at it, I want to call it "ssh sync", but it looks more like it should sound like "shync" (which sounds sort of like Garth from "Wayne's World&q

That's certainly an option, but probably not a very useful one. It's like stopping piracy. Piracy can actually have a positive affect on sales. Person A who pirates your software or music doesn't pay you, but they tell other

At that point, you have agreed to a contract - the terms of service you have to click through to get an account. The terms of service say that you agree not to do that. When you simply read a public web page you are not agreeing to anything

"strikes me as a very entitled stance" Not at all. This is exactly the same as broadcasters putting ads in their shows, and you muting them, fast-forwarding through them, going to the bathroom when they're on, etc. The attitu

I concur. What's worse was when they finally did get to an example of how you would use something, it was always so contrived as to be pointless. For example, you've learned about dealing with rates of change. Now lets talk about

I don't mind glossy for just programming. It's not usually enough to disturb my text (though I use a bright background and dark text rather than a dark background with bright text). But I hate it for working with photos and videos

Looks like an interesting idea, but if the first one includes Mac-related stuff, but is from 2007, then it's way out of date.

I get what you're saying. I'm a classically trained pianist (and this may be the problem) who has recently taken up the cello. When I'm tuning my instrument, a note on an open string appears to my tuner to easily fluctuate by

Yeah, I had to laugh at that, too. I remember in my music theory class, one time the professor played something in D-minor, and someone in the class pulled out that line from Spinal Tap, "D minor is the saddest of keys." We chuckl

You can still use 23 and Me to get your results, but you have to go elsewhere (like to your doctor) to interpret the results. They were basically giving patients a diagnosis without going through the proper legal work to be able to give dia

Yes. My wife was given medication not FDA approved by her doctor. She had to order it from a pharmacy in Canada, but it was all legit. The (US) doctor wrote her a script and filled out some sort of paperwork for the government, as I underst

Can anyone explain the benefits of this product over other mail clients? The website is so full of fluff, I couldn't even understand what it was at first, let alone how it differed from other products in its category.

This looks really cool! I tried learning Haskell on the Mac a year or two ago. It was painful having to use command-line tools and text editors. I eventually hacked Xcode to do the syntax highlighting and to run the build commands for Haske

Yeah, it seems like it either doesn't match english words (probably because it assumes you already speak English since it's an English-language web site), or it is only looking for specific types of matches (swear words, etc.). I

Is it ridiculously hard to go to the nearest university and ask a physics professor if an idea is even plausible? If it is, then maybe investors should pass on stuff they don't understand.
