This isn't an issue. You either have the ability to pay the monthly fee (which would probably enable cheaper subscriptions, saving people money), or you can't afford it & you'll experience the same web experience you have

I hate that we still are talking about this. Ads suck, and there's already a better way to do things. Micropayments are the answer. Everyone on the internet pays a small monthly fee, say $5/month (ideally this would just be integr

That's pretty funny, and is literally what I did with a CLI tool I made once. It was supposed to loop through something that was over 10,000 entries long. It finished in under a second. I decided to add a small fraction of a second eve

I think the tool they used came from their capital reserves. IIRC they had about a billion dollars worth of BTC, and they have money from other sources as well. So they got liquidity to buy up all the sellers of UST on exchanges and stopped

I'm not familiar with how Google does it with Android & Chromebooks, do you have a similar level of understanding there? Your explanation was very good, thank you for that information. I'm now wondering if Google is just small

Hot Take that no doubt will meet a lot of doubt: I would make a prediction that Window's next OS, is going to be semi-Linux based. Imagine Windows doing to their OS the way they did with their browser, forking opensource code and rebra

I highly doubt Google would embrace something that kills there business without having a plan. Off the top of my head I can think of 3 scenarios: 1. Google is investing in tech that allows them to index canvas-rendered items (putting them f

Test your internet speed by seeing how fast you can download government malware and upload your personal data. It's so innovative!

Say what you will about the crypto & blockchain scene, but I can't fucking wait for us to move over to it more & start adopting more tamper-resistant decentralization standards... One can hope

lol this is true, I guess they meant they didn't replay it as much as they'd like to, or those replays weren't as fun, but to me it seems that playing a single player game multiple times over, doing different things each time

This comment needs to be higher. A strange amount of misinformation in the top comments, and phrasing that makes it sound like solo designers can now only make 3 projects (or the commenter who wrongly edited their comment suggesting that a

I love open & new hardware stuff like this. Currently using an Ergo Dox keyboard & I firmly believe it has saved me lots of wrist pain to date (plus I look hella cool typing without looking now, and my WPM has gone up rather nicely)

But there's nothing stopping me from stopping the DVD halfway through. And who's to say I'm being drip-feed these movies on autoplay? What if Ghibli had their own service (please no, not another one lol). I would have to make

I wholeheartedly disagree with this statement. I think that all streaming has done is allow for easier access to music, not "less meaningful" access. Many family members of mine LOVE music and cherish it no matter if it's an

quantum computing dual-state ads doing A/B testing simultaneously... I don't know if any of that just made sense, but I bet you could get some VC funding if you pitched it!

I like the idea of having metacritic and more review-oriented info upfront near games. There's currently a few browser extensions that solve these issues. Valve would benefit from reaching out to these developers and implementing some

I'm referring to the most recent one that I believe most are familiar with: when Bitcoin reached ATH of $20,000 and then plummeted to $4,000 [ I think that was the lowest... ] I'm not against BTC, and I'm not saying it's

I agree with this. It's sorta strange to me that the above poster is aware enough to mention that this "might be useful to someone", but then dogs on it. If you don't have a need for it, perhaps consider it is not for yo

Someone created Bitcoin. It was a neat idea and people played with it. When the first pizza was bought with Bitcoin, I wonder how the creator felt? "Oh cool, real world use!" Then Bitcoin bubbled. People panicked and jumped on boa
