I suspect you'd want to search for a specific attribute or tag combination, I used the scrape package [0] recently and found it a pleasure to use. Beyond the example provided in the README the documentation [1] is also good. [0] https

Same here, although perhaps that's because for some unknown reason internally I've always said dot-dot-slash-slash for :// so it's odd trying to read it as 'ill'. I don't expect the protocol logo will

Normally those bug me a great deal but because the page loads so fast and the focus is on resource constrained users the `read more' option doesn't bother me at all. I'm constantly frustrated by JavaScript `read more' li

It's often said but the revamped design is excellent and the designers should be commended. I used to have to assist my parents whenever they needed to fill in a government form online and my mum in particular found it stressful, with

None of us (students) had credit cards and we frequently used PayPal to cover the scenarios you mentioned. As a group it just became easy to all use the one app for requesting/sending smaller amounts of money. You can do it through a p

Hmm, thanks! I'm not sure why we couldn't figure that out. I can't remember if we were using the app or the website, I just know we were using mobiles.

A while ago I was at my house with friends and was looking to order takeaway. Collectively we didn't have enough cash on hand to pay on delivery so we looked at various apps, JustEat, Domino's and the like. Domino's were writ

That's very interesting, I read the book a few years ago and then watched the film after. Both have stuck with me, particularly some distressing scenes from the book, and yet I never put too much thought into what could have caused the

Reading this I was immediately reminded of the Del Rio Water scenes from Sleep Dealer [0]. I find the prescience of that film quite remarkable, although I suppose events like these have played through before, just without the technology asp

Unfortunately I don't think that the retention aspect will be revoked - no matter how much it's detested - but I do believe the only way that the government will tighten access is when a few people inevitably leak at best embarass

There is decent advice here but I still think there is a lack of basic tools that would help the everyday citizen get started with protecting their privacy. I think there's a chance for VPN providers to capitalise on the surveillance l

You're being downvoted heavily for this and it's easy to see why. The arguments against an epistocracy are numerous and in my opinion unrefuted, the core point being, who determines the epistocrats [0]? [0] https://link
