Google Fiber has been aggressively upselling us to a higher plan the last 6-12 months, prior to that in my 6 years with them I don't remember a single upsell. Guess I know why now, trying to grease the numbers for the highest possible

I've been looking for something like this for a while now but honestly if you run a non-technical service requiring your users to sign up for a github account (just to vote on features) is a pretty big ask. Integration with other AUTH

I think there are two things at play here. 1. People perceive they don't have a choice. For example when you visit the doctor and you have to sign 12 different form/contracts. Most people believe they either sign them or don'

Agreed. They are both solid frameworks and I've used both fairly heavily. I personally find Laravel more 'natural'. I have to refer back to the documentation in Yii far more often.

I was completely shocked when I read this yesterday morning while drinking my morning coffee. The best outcome that could arise from the author disclosing his password is him receiving hundreds of texts that day. I understand the point he i

^ This. Ever since Namecheap went through their 'rebranding' the site has been slow and at times completely unusable. I consistently get timeouts when performing basic tasks. The old site was ugly but it worked. The new site is sl

I was surprised at how well that worked. I was basically blindly cycling between left,down,right (with one accidental up) and got to 1024 on my first try.

I disagree. I think its important to take 'ownership' of your work. Its the best way to obtain visibility in your organization and (for me at least) creates a sense of satisfaction and pride. If I was just a cog in the machine of

I am curious what Bill Gates (or anyone who doesn't necessarily have an immediate profit making venture to promote i.e an actor) hopes to achieve with an AMA? I can't imagine they are very much fun after the first dozen questions.

^this. Same with Netflix though for me. Where are you based? I'm in Austin, Tx. Any of the speed tests online will report 30mbps/5mbps, but I'm unable to stream HD on Youtube or Netflix during peak times.

After travelling/living in Southeast Asia for 8 months and paying between $5-10/month for LTE speeds that are consistently more reliable and quicker than in the USA it makes me shudder when I get my bill every month for $100+ for

I too look forward to this site. The problem with Smart Recommendations that Netflix and Pandora make is they are still subject to highly subjective tastes. I could have watched 6 documentaries on Wine, rated them all 5 stars and I still mi

I get what you are saying, but it has now become Spike's issue, unless he abides by "All publicity is good publicity, even bad publicity". Just like many companies drop their sponsorships when their celebrities misbehave. For
