Please cite your sources. It's certainly possible that it's dangerous, but there is also a tradition of labeling anything which is different than what was historically done as medically dangerous. There is an equal tradition of

I don't think an isolated internet is the solution. That's what North Korea has (to the extent they have internet), and it is a problem in every way. The problem isn't really China, it's there are only a handful of peo

We view Eager as a safer alternative to installing something like a WordPress plugin. Non-technical people certainly use them extensively, yet they introduce very large security holes. We are trying to provide much of the same power, but

The reason that is in the terms and conditions is because Eager exists to allow people to install all sorts of third-party SaaS tools. If you install the Google Analytics app, they are going to track you, that is what we're trying to

If they get paid more than $600, I assume they do. I imagine a big chunk of them won't hit the $600 threshold though.

I believe Uber will charge you for the trip (but less than the cost of a normal ride), and give a chunk of the money to the driver (just as they do normally).

To me the logic is simple: It's more efficient to build the site when its content changes (very infrequently) rather than when its viewed (very frequently). Yes various forms of caching can allow you to scale the dynamic model quite f
