I've been a PIA customer for a year and a half with no complaints. I'm not a VPN power user by any means but it's been solid for me the whole time and haven't had any reason to look elsewhere.

I've been a Spotify premium user for years now and have never used my Library, but have a ton of playlists organized and nested into different genre/mood/etc directories. I'm sure there's a good reason why people

Same here. I did use it often in college when it was still .edu only and got a lot out of it so I understand why people like it. On the flip side, shortly after I graduated I realized it was my default "thing to do" online (i.e. w

Have you used one? I'm not pushing fidget spinners but I've been a pen-twirler since junior high and the spinner is almost the exact same motion with the same amount of attention involved. I don't know how you've been us

Reddit is way more valuable if you subscribe to smaller discussion-based subs that have stricter rules. I haven't gone on r/all or any default subs in years but I still get a lot out of my front page since I try to be selective ab

Definitely, and those same claims are made in the yue docs. >I had been the solo developer of Electron and node-webkit (now known as NW.js) for a very long time, and today big corps are building their new apps on them. So I think it shou

I think you totally misunderstood the OP you're replying to. As far as I can tell he is agreeing with your sentiment 100%.

The link you posted, did you read past the top comment? There are a lot of people still playing and many of those that are are still heavily involved. I can't say I've ever played every day or every time I get my phone out, but I

Interesting article about Hoffman, but the title is extremely misleading. There are so many reasons why Microsoft bought LinkedIn that are more important than just getting Hoffman's expertise and a board member. It's easy for peop

Maybe in a big company that doesn't have a majority of remote workers or somewhere that remote is a new concept. The company where I work is ~70% remote and has been since the beginning and there has never been an issue with promotions

I don't think he meant background checks on the people, rather on the project itself. The biggest issue with the submission wasn't the fact that there was an ex-employee, but that the project itself (Upshot) was demoed at a meetup

This might be a naive question, but why is this so inexpensive? Don't get me wrong, education is definitely way more expensive than it "should" be, but I recently started a Master's in CS at DePaul and $7,000 for the who

This is great! I usually use jsFiddle or Codepen for front-end demos on my blog, but it would be so much nicer to host it all myself.

How does this research _not_ have the goal of keeping humans from doing "wasteful and damaging stuff"? The long term point is to have only a few cows that can create tons of beef without being slaughtered. Sounds much less wastefu

The company I work for does exactly this actually, and there are others like us. The problem is that due to heavy regulations/HIPAA, we have to sell our services to companies who can use it with their provided insurance. You can't

I realize this isn't a direct review of your product, but there are a couple front-end things you might want to take a look at. Concatenating/minifying/compressing your JS files on the home page would speed things up a _lot_.
