Yeah I just don't see this being a thing either. If Google allowed businesses to pay to moderate (i.e. censor) their own reviews at their own will then that destroys any legitimacy in the reviews of a business, eliminating any value of

How is being recorded by your employer while on their premises giving away your freedom? It would be a different thing if they were tracking you out of work, but when you enter a premises owned by a business you kind of implicitly agree to

The thing is, those tangible benefits are all subjective and immeasurable. There is no way to measurably differentiate between someone feeling good because they're microdosing, or feeling good because they had a nice day, which is why

Because the only things it does tangibly effect are your mood and mental perspective, things that are entirely subjective and do not have concrete metrics that can be used for measurement, especially when comparing that between different su

The thing I find hilarious is that microdosing is literally taking a dose so small that you don't actively feel or notice the effects, and this study decided to research to what degree the subjects feel the effects of a dose intended t

Incredible, who could have ever guessed that taking something in such a small dose that it's effects are imperceptible to the subject would reveal that the effects at such a dose are... imperceptible to the subject? Can we do a study o

You can do it with Node as well, this works: #!/usr/bin/env node But similarly to with Python, it still requires you have the runtime installed along with any packages your thing depends on

I always thought Apple's slogan was hilarious because I basically interpreted it with emphasis on the "just". It just works. Like, only barely passes the bar for what could be considered working, only just.

I think most PWAs are essentially front-end clients to a SaaS, so revenue typically comes from user subscriptions. Other than that like another user mentioned there's any monetization methods on the web at your disposal (advertising, m

Yeah fair call and it's more the combination of PHP + jQuery I'm referring to as being non-deterministic rather than either on their own - you can definitely write deterministic PHP and jQuery code, but the implicit integration be

To word it more technically, building an SPA allows you to build applications as declarative composable functions which are deterministic, as opposed to the spaghetti code commonly seen in the days of jQuery and PHP which is harder to read,

If it's a web-based user interface as this tax app sounds to be, it is arguably improved purely by being an SPA. Requiring full page reloads just to submit or change some tiny bit of data in a page is objectively bad UX.
