Honest question: as a United States internet user, is there any practical reason I need to have a root certificate from the Chinese national Internet authority installed? Corollary, is there a short list of CAs that folks around here trust

CloudFlare is probably not a good choice. They recently blocked access to a similar service, Lantern, per the linked WSJ article. "CloudFlare, which offers content-delivery network services, said last week it cut off Lantern’s use of

Yes, in the US at least, "a private club for members and their guests" is a common phrase, and would likely apply to a country club. This would fit Digital Ocean's interpretation of private - not accessible to the general pub

How about: free users can track budgets for 1 person (themselves), and the data is stored locally. If they want to share it with several people for free, they can install it on the family tablet. In the free version you could show ads, and

Yes, this is what I meant. We want companies to take a chance on people who might not have perfect resumes, or for new ventures that might not work out. This gives people without traditional bona fides a chance to prove themselves, and to g

Congrats on launching this! The site looks nice. Some feedback: 1) $5 for the Premium Account is too cheap. There is nothing that is $5 a month that I want to use for my business. Its a signal that this is probably a hobby. Make it free or

I'm having trouble getting my head around the pricing. 1x for one task, 2x for unlimited. Can you expound a bit? Specifically, what do you mean by unlimited? Could I schedule you every day for a 30 minute consultation? Also, I'm o

Definitely, I feel bad for them too. Getting fired/laid off sucks . But remember that the opposite scenario, where companies only hire folks when they are sure they have a permanent role for them, is far worse.

Not only could you publish them in a loop, until 2011 they were not random at all. Rather, the first 3 digits behaved much like an area code - if you know where someone was born, you can pretty easily guess the first 3 digits of their SSN.

I don't disagree that a lot of people would stop pirating if there was a legal alternative. However, in my experience, most adults will simply chose an alternative rather than resort to piracy (which is probably watching a different s

I think for some segment of the population it will continue forever. But I think most people grow out of piracy eventually. In my experience, adults generally don't steal things, even if no one is going to catch them and even if they

Perhaps a reputation system for recruiters, i.e., an Angie's List for recruiters, could help here? That could be a useful service. Its a tough market to serve because the most people don't change jobs more than a couple times in t

What if the recruiter tells you that Google/FB/etc reviewed your resume and you didn't make the cut? (When in actuality they just don't want to pay the commission) You wouldn't dislike them, but you might then not a

As I understand it, the problem is this: Joe Random Recruiter can decide one day that he is a recruiter for Google/Twitter/FB/anyone else. He doesn't need or obtain their permission - he just starts firing out emails to

This is great! Thanks for building this! I use my Roku's universal search to do this now, but I can only use it on the device. Having this function in a website is so useful! Suggestion: automatically highlight Hulu when I choose &quot

Thanks for your comment. This makes sense - I would use Watson to determine which photos have humans at all, and then run those through, e.g., my facial recognition software. But Watson would keep me from having to waste resources looking f

The top 3 may be correct, but they aren't very useful. What could I do with this information? What feature could I build? Also, the other results are very wrong. (i.e., Watson is more confident that this is a dog than a person. And I h

That's my point - no tweaks are even needed. Why can't I show this same ad, exactly like it is, before e.g., the UNC vs NCSU game? I could! Unless I did something ill-advised, like saying "Super Bowl", which in fact does

You're saying there is no other event that Dorito's could possibly use an ad about "The Big Game" for? That's incorrect, and that's my point. Why make an ad you can only use once, when you could easily tweak

My Uber driver on Wednesday flat out told me he won't pick up certain racial groups, because they tend to leave lower-than-five-star ratings. It was offensive, but I understand that his > 4.5 star rating is essential to his well-bei

Or its because the advertisers want to get more than one use out of the ad? The Super Bowl is not the only "big game". In fact its not usually even a particularly great game, and its never a rivalry. So saying "Big Game"

I think pricing is the very first thing you should think about, before features. Once you know what's actually valuable to your customers, it'll be easy to figure out what features to build to deliver it. This book probably isn&#x
