I'm scared of the day we block ads by default. Sure the internet will briefly be a nicer looking domain. But then sites will support themselves through alternative means, some better, some worse, than the ads we used to have. And the a

If that's their response it's way off the mark. Google is a huge company and yes Android is one aspect of it that is wonderful and open. However the aspect being scrutinised by the EU is its search monopoly. It's no defence t

It's the easy option to opt for retaliation. I'd advise against if only to keep your own principles strong. If you value openness, talk to them. If they cannot find a replacement during the two week timeframe then they may ask you

Except caching a torrent like this still 'downloads' it, you're simply letting your computer clear it's cache soon after your done with the file. So no, you're not getting round any download issues here. Streaming i

Though this site is called 'Hacker' News, the word is being used to describe a person who applies techniques to make their lives and businesses better, and often in tech-related fields. There may be 'hackers' here, but t

You should just break up with her if you're wiling to go that far. Your actions would be a terrible breach of trust. Even if she is cheating, you're a bad person too.

Toodu and Reddit aren't bad name. They are simple bi-syllabic words that are completely original. If you want your company to list easily in Google, this is how you do it. I suggest you think a bit more deeply about names before callin

You likely have an extension that typically loads at the top of the page, like a toolbar or overlay. I've seen similar from things like VWO, SEO toolbars and even Wordpress. When they're not needed they sometimes hide themselves R

If I had that time and that money to spare I'd try my hand at selling mainstream electronics on Amazon, using their Fulfilment program. Buy items like Beats headphones wholesale, have them delivered to an Amazon depot, Amazon stock the

Let the system optimise for signal/noise ratio, not just a blanket 'voluntary' ban of April Fools gags. Don't encourage people to follow your personal opinion of 'dreading' this day, it's an abuse of your

The incognito browser will still gather some data during your session, when you end the session it will 'forget' them. You won't be able to recover the session data, whether or not there are still files from that session floa

There's a vast gulf between SSL and a third-party promo code generator. The main difference being the number of professionals putting time and effort into SSL standards and the global uptake of those standards. Trust is earned. To say

If PDAs were inexpensive and everyone had a need for one then they would have seen the same massive growth that mobile phones did, and would likely have had call capabilities added a long time ago. But PDAs are niche, and expensive. Mobile

From what I understand two terms you use would be inaccurate. First of all it's not an area, as it has no physical dimensions. Second of all it could not be called 'eternity' as it is composed of nothing and therefore no chan

This is something I've never quite grasped. To stream a video is to download it. The difference here simply being the moving of the cached video to more permanent storage, allowing the video to be viewed offline. For a video that is av

Technically this is an app, not a startup (from the looks of things. Voice is great, if a little forced at points, she can sound a little TOO enthused. Animation was nice, obviously not top of the line, but professional-grade nonetheless. F
