I'm not exactly starting new startups once a year to keep up on this stuff but I can say I have yet to hear of any of these providers but Stripe Atlas within my circle. It also comes with $5000 in AWS credit which can be very valuable.

I just saw an ad on Twitter today from eToro saying basically "Doge is a joke. But seriously we sell doge and you can't deny the returns have been impressive this past year. Buy doge with us" They were emphasizing the returns

It's kinda nice we don't have to worry about our phones dying if they get splashed or dropped in a pool though right? That has definitely cut down on a lot of waste.

I'll use the food stamps argument: All I see is millions and regardless of how insignificant that number is with regard to how many the program has helped, I'm going to argue the whole program should be shut down because my party

It's not easy to refute when there are 10000x as many uneducated people as there are actual scientists who could be trusted to refute it. This is how online communities work. Small number of moderators fighting off an endless stream of

This was removed because it was half-conspiracy and half-maybe-useful. In any case you can't encourage people to "share and debate" half-biased articles. Share the actual studies! Debate those. Don't encourage the very a

Yes, we would be doubting everything the article said when it was an argument cast by a lunatic spouting numerous other conspiracy theories like Covid-19 is a bioengineered virus that escaped a bioresearch lab.

This is more hearsay to lend support to a crank conspiracy theorist. Yes, we can not have a discussion spawned from a crank conspiracy theorist about general relativity even if his ideas are sound.

It was a bit of both. I don't think they had the infrastructure to support everyone, I think they had major growing pains as they tried to scale, and I don't think they had the experience to identify sources of partial-failure pro

We stopped using it when we were always the first to notify them when they were having data center issues...always a switch or gateway or some other excuse causing major network issues. Not to mention their security model allowed any instan

Stopped using them after Firefox sync destroyed my very well curated set I had about 10 years ago. Now I copy paste text snippets into Google keep.

Not unless the service requires a phone number in order to enable MFA. Some providers require the phone number for "recovery" purposes once MFA is enabled very much defeating the usefulness. Countless times we've heard of a h

Google maps 2012 refactor was what made it amazingly useful to me. The street names are much more readable now, they actually had a decent breakdown of the before and after and how the street names are much more readable overall now that th

1. When the powers out, gas pumps are out too unless there are generators. Even in Florida where this is expected after storms, we still have 95%+ of stations offline during power outages. 2. Typical fast charging times are < 20 minutes

I'd recommend using an OpenID Connect provider to authenticate if you're concerned about their practices but it's just as easy to improperly implement auth even with mainstream libraries to help you connect something like Aut

I invite you to go to your local Fox/ABC/CBS channel's website and TRY to read an article vs AMP. AMP is about stopping....that. It's indescribable how horrible these companies have become. 1. Auto-playing ads 2. Scroll-

Whoa, whoa. You're the one misleading people here. Sagi (a person) purchased Crossrider outright for $37M then RENAMED Crossrider to Kape. It's even more clear that the Crossrider "Adtech" (read Adware) was produced by t

Kape _is_ Crossrider. Crossrider was renamed Kape and a new CEO was put in place to "exit the advertising market" transitioning to cyber security.

That's not true. I watched the whole video and their charging practices were a joke. They knew they were driving too fast, they knew they didn't charge enough before they left. In any case, from 500 miles with 10% degradation, 10%
