The problem is they almost never actually honor these requests. I know several victims of stalking (including myself) who have had no luck with these forms, even when we've met the narrow and extreme criteria required including doxxing

They have no competition to care anymore. Their closest competitor, Bing, has a 2.24% market share which consists mostly of people who don't bother to change their default browser's default search engine. Competition is necessary

Or Twitter could let accounts create categories for their tweets so that you could opt-in or opt-out to them when you follow people. I may be into finance but I want to be able to post other things too, as I'm human. Trying to juggle m

I suspect this is going to be a huge boon for services like ahrefs that crawls the web and provides information on which URLs on the internet link to which other URLs.

I can't say I've even heard of a court order for Twitter to remove a tweet before. Is that really practical, though? To spend thousands of dollars on legal fees to take down a single tweet from an anonymous account that will just

I know when I started out what I struggled with and how difficult it was to learn things. But after having learned them, I have a lot of trouble explaining how I got there. I can't remember why it was hard anymore, as it just seems e

Generally that's the starting rate for a college graduate, who I assume would be most likely to be interested in relocating to Japan. Here's some good numbers at different experience levels: https://www.tokyodev.com&#x2

Pretty much anywhere with a 10 minute walking distance to the Yamanote line will set you back about the numbers I've mentioned. You can of course go far out of your way and pay half as much, if you don't mind a very long commute e

While Japan has great national health insurance, you still have to pay 30% of it. So a month supply of Concerta will still cost you $100, which is a lot better than in the US without insurance, but it's not free. What's nice are t

Exceptions abound, but in general software development jobs even at smaller studios pay a lot less in Japan than in the US. In Tokyo you'd expect to make around 400,000 yen a month, which is about $3500 a month. That sounds nice until

This only matters for things like encryption and secrets. Imagine if you published your game online as multi-player, someone could devise the randomness and predict the next moves in the game, which could allow them to cheat. For encryption

It saves you needing a separate index variable. If you're doing something like LZSS decompression it makes the relative window offsets natural (absolute). Not sure I'd recommend coding like that today, unless ptr was a smart point

I've found the opposite. Google promotes stalking sites[0] to the very top of results for their targets in a way that no other search engine does. Not Bing, no Yandex, not any of the little indie engines. You have to go dozens of pages

That's really about as helpful as telling someone with depression to stop being so negative all the time. The spirit of what you're saying is nice, but that advice is not gonna help anyone.

You really gotta get that chip off your shoulder. Living your life intensely hating someone of no real consequence in your life is poison for your soul. Even if he's a bad guy, fine, let it go. If it's bad software people will qui
