If I visit my in-laws house for a few days, which is a common occurrence, am I unable to watch my Netflix account on one of their TVs? It sounds like I would be restricted to only mobile devices.

I absolutely keep my personal GitHub account separate from my work one for that reason. It's also because I like to keep my work life and personal life separate. That's why I don't use my work email for private matters (you n

I live in Kyoto and was surprised to learn that there were even 18 convenience store robberies in the year before the program started. It's really safe here so I wonder what percentage of those armed robberies included assault on the c

Thank you for your reply. You are right in that I am a more practical, pragmatic programmer. I do have experience building enterprise applications and project management which is great, but I am lacking in the algorithm side. This is part o

I liked the concept but I found the game had a couple of annoying issues. 1. The clickable area around the number needs to be a little bigger. I am using a HTC One M7 and it often wouldn't register the clicks. 2. After this first game,

I was in your situation. I switched from Firefox to Chrome and thought I would never go back. Funnily enough, I went back recently (a few months ago) and have really been enjoying the recent Firefox editions. Sure, they make some "inte

I'll add to this post by saying that I live in Japan so, if you can't find the flavour you want, I am happy to buy it and send it to anyone. Obviously, I'd expect the person to cover the cost. I imagine it would be same/

It's kind of ironic that you can't bookmark it in Chrome using the ctrl+d shortcut when this is one of those perfect bookmark tools.

Any US users want to help us foreigners out by gifting it for the $2.99 price?

I see $31.99 in Australia. The interesting thing though is that the link has a referral code in it. Maybe the submitter is trying to make some money on it with some bait and switch ?

The "trust us, just create good quality content, and we'll recognize it" line is true. If you write genuinely good content (ie: others think it is good, not just you) then you will do better. Yes, they are using these tricks now, but eventu

Short answer: Blogs. Long answer: Blogging. Seriously. Write about interesting topics related to your startup. Start to pique people's interest in your product. That's where the best (and free) traffic comes from.

I imagine you'd advertise for a support specialist in the traditional sense, but once hired, they wouldn't have a job title. Their skills would be in customer support though so that's what they would naturally do. If they tried to work on d

I liked the article. The part about firing early is very true. It's like ripping a Band-Aid off quickly rather than slowly. Just get it over with as it may affect your future and everyone else's, as the article also mentions. One thing tha

As you haven't mentioned what exactly your search engine will focus on, I'll just throw this idea out there. I would love a search engine that returned results equivalent to Google, yet offered me the privacy level that I desired. With Goog

Agreed. Some of the words are ridiculous. The repeats are so bad after a few days playing, you didn't even have to try any more. The free version was acceptable in the beginning. They show ads in return for it being free. I get that. I am f
