This looks nicely polished and I might pay for this since it provides some real value but it has the same problem many other front-end SaaS products have - it hijacks the end user. What I mean is that I can't use it without sending my

Fine. Perhaps I shouldn't have said any nation, but Afghanistan is not a modern nation state. It's a time warp back to some era 1000 years ago with poorly run government theater that only existed to keep the kleptocrats stealing f

What's admirable about it? This is just a fiction that you Americans tell yourselves about the next revolution. Name one, just one way, that ease of gun ownership has protected Americans from their government in a way that citizens of

I don't know anything about the situation over there but did they really ban it? For example this bloomberg report talks about foreign ownership via holding companies. So are foreigners not able to hold stakes in NZ companies or are NZ

Hi there, nice site. I'm really like this combined side scrolling table + graph component you use on the pulse page. Looking at the source I see a mention of echarts in the html but I don't think I've seen anything like that

I don't know. I wish I fell for their scam back in 2009/2010 when they were flooding HN with bitcoin posts. There were so many it seemed coordinated.

I don't know if we should give Toyota any praise over their supply chain management. Consider the situation with their electric vehicles. The plug-in hybrid "rav4 prime" has a 2 year wait list. They sold 3200 last year becaus

Price Distribution by Year -- this is an interesting one. Looks like eventually there isn't a huge variance in price. So brands with "good resale value" probably don't matter if you're keeping your car a really long

I run a hobby .net core website on a $5 digital ocean instance and it runs fast as hell. You definitively don't need to spend $30. I'm using a PG database but it looks like maybe it would even be possible to run SQL server on a 2G

This would certainly be convenient, however if your mailing lists contains a lot of old people then they forward your emails to their friends. Their friends who are annoyed by this then unsubscribe the original recipient without noticing th

My guess it's to counter those popular code-golf language comparisons that make c# look verbose for short apps.

Is leaving a country really that hard if you have a little money? Seems like something you should be able to do without the assistance of green berets unless you're in a movie. A country like Japan must have: 1. Dozens of private jets

You'd think this was just an archaic relic but Bambora payment processing (which hasn't updated their site since uppercase HTML tags and framesets were a thing) has a userdir feature that lets their customers upload static file to

Thanks, I'll bookmark this. As a programmer with no design skills, I maintain a folder of screenshots from various SaaS apps that I find helpful whenever I need inspiration for layouts, information presentation, multi-step interaction

In regular cmd.exe you can use "title xxx" to rename windows. Maybe this works in the terminal too?

I worked in a large call center and we used VNC to monitor the agents. This worked until one one of them figured out what the VNC tray icon color change meant - which meant they soon all knew what it was. So I had to do the reverse hack of

That won't work for long. It will start offering suggestions of data that you have previously used on the "discourse" fields. On our CRM, Chrome is constantly offering to fill in data that I don't need. Or even worse, it

That's not saying much. Most of us don't understand most science behind anything outside of our limited specializations. These beliefs are manifestations of people's distrust of large institutions. People believe GMO is bad b

And of course you go to their website by googling them. Maybe clicking one of the 5 adword links at the top of the page that look like search results. Works out nicely for someone.

I know it's cynical but it feels like the term "labour shortage" is just a way of complaining about not being able to find desperate laborers at bottom dollar. Here in Canada, I've seen plenty of job ads that were more o

What kind of dell discounts does dell typically give larger customers? We get 0 (from HP) at my workplace and I've always wondered. I'm sure it depends on how much you buy. Does it vary by components? They seem to charge a lot for
