I met up with a pro TV writer I know and he said he was so happy the season was over because he could finally go to a mattress store and buy a new mattress. He said he didn't have time to do it for the last X months. Basically being a

They should have bought Shine and called it a day. Amazing how poorly their new UI works compared to a Chrome extension.

Portugal is popular with the digital nomads because it's cheap. It's a similar situation in the canary islands. But knowing these types well, they tend to focus on lifestyle businesses / business with small markets so it&#x2

Probably because complaining isn't allowed at work. They mandated the usage so that's not a good sign especially when OPs complaints are deal breakers for anyone who isn't mandated to use it. I.e. the emperor has too much kb.

White label exchange providers openly advertise wash trading as a feature. Also many provide liquidity from other exchanges so using aggregate market cap across exchanges is extremely inaccurate.

Also winter. Most of the dense cities in the U.S. also have significant winter weather that makes biking less ideal.

IANAL, is this a real risk? This sounds like suing a paper company for a ransom note written on it's paper. You can bring a suit for nearly anything but it feels like there would be a lot of precedent to immediately dismiss it.

Spotify is an excellent product. They have addressed and solved almost every problem users cited for why they wouldn't pay for music via other means. It's time to admit it: consumers do not deserve this level of product in exchang

I have FIOS and aside from finally syncing my online backups, I've been struck by how little difference / improvement there is over cable. I'm not a gamer so the latency doesn't matter. My TV isn't 4k so no help the

When does it make sense to run Node on docker vs Heroku dynos or something similar? Is it just a cost thing at a certain number? Are these significantly specialized containers? The types mentioned in the doc seem like basic web apps. I&#x27

While the pharmaceutical companies deserve penalties, it's ridiculous that someone with a pre-existing Valium addiction and a history of "hard drug" addiction is blaming the pharmaceutical companies. Nan, admit it, you like g

Built a fintech-ish startup all by myself, zero funding. I didn't intend to do it all by myself but it's not a sexy business so no one was jumping to go full-time. It came close to breaking me as a human being, honestly. Anyway, I

The nice thing about the old world of music was that when you played for an audience there was nothing going on but what you were doing. Now the band has to compete with everyone's phones.
