Pick your poison I suppose. I'd rather have control and have to pay for antivirus software, but I can see how many non-tech folks would like to offload this to a walled garden. Centralized planning can end up in disaster though if the

Maybe because the initial spike in CO2 came from lifestyle choices. Industry keeps up with consumer demands. And trying to advocate for lifestyle changes respects the free market. I'm not saying it's the best or only way to addres

It's all in how you present it. If you say "hey, I just thought of X, do you want to do it?" It's much less likely to get approval. If you say, "hey, for the cost of a gift card or two we can prevent a single person

In principle that sounds great. In reality, that introduces more steps as each price offer and counter offer produces a time delay and makes me think. Right now the app follows KISS (keep it simple stupid) and "don't make me think

Knowing the common predispositions of genders is useful if you need to make an educated guess about the expected behavior of a random person. Sometimes the problem lies in trying to raise boys or girls to fit these "expected predisposi

A few ideas on why people get angry: 1. Public health campaigns - They don't get outraged by junk food, sports cars, etc. because there isn't advertising telling them it's unequivocally bad. Government will tell you that not

A surprising amount of CSS development would probably fit the bill as well. So many times I've produced unexpected results that looked just as good or better than my original intent.

Supply and demand would rapidly reduce this timeline even at incredible energy amounts. There is a virtually unlimited demand for energy. We'd build more energy intensive machines if the supply was so vast. Powering millions of large f

It's my understanding that the R, TM and C symbols are not required to enforce trademarks / copyrights. So, if you register a trademark and forget to put TM or R next to it, it's not like your content is suddenly fair game. S

You could take the API info you're looking for and then cross reference it with a simple GitHub user search, filtering for users that have "available for hire" selected in their profile. I used this method years ago, albeit m

Even if they did read it, there's no legal recourse for a state sponsored company that decides to write a good looking ToS and then just ignore it completely. Or, it's not hard to imagine this even bring a completely legit company

Yes, but see my previous comment. People have tried it and online poker sites know they've tried it, so they'll randomize images and other data. If you take a dive when the randomizations are triggered and outperform otherwise goo

Right, but the bot needs to know who is in what position what the bets are, who folded, etc. Try inputting all of that information manually to the laptop next to you and you'll quickly get frustrated. Online poker is a fast game with l

Poker sites mainly detect bots based on their login times, number of tables, time per action, etc. A successful bot shouldn't get caught for "playing like a bot" because the moment it's actions are that predictable it wo

I always found REST (and GraphQL or any API for that matter) tedious as it's basically abstracting SQL queries. To my knowledge the abstraction is necessary to mitigate SQL injection and data permissions. With RLS in Postgres, I think

There are also bigger libraries like lodash that are often included for the use of a single feature. I must admit I have the same aversion as OC. I love the ubiquity, resources and portability of JavaScript, but the rats nest of dependencie
