No, the point I was trying to make has nothing to do with communication. Molenbeek has been known to host radicalized Islamists for twenty years, I've heard on French TV this weekend. Encrypted communication or not, as long as governme

I don't know why people are considering these terrorists to be so smart. They arrived at the Stade de France and were naively thinking they'd be able to come inside with explosives tied to them. In January, they didn't even k

@icebraining: I never said that idea was new, all I said was that apparently everybody hasn't been exposed to it. There are a few different opinions in this documentary, from this arrogant writer who got famous with the old model and i

I can understand that somebody being exposed to this idea for the first time would be dubious. If you'd rather hear it from some of the world's top creators, check out presspauseplay.com.

In the music industry, technology and economy have worked hand in hand to 'let record companies die'. The result is that most projects nowadays are home-made, resulting in a generalized cacophony where it's so hard to find qu

What's that quote again, 'while in his 30s Julius Caesar once cried because he felt he hadn't done a tenth of what Alexander the Great had done at the same age'? Don't worry about people being faster than you. Build

Glad to know I'm not alone there. I had an interview with this company where I was told technical skills weren't the most important, personality was. Luckily for me, they really liked me. Ten days later, I go to a second interview

Right now I don't see karma being particularly generous to me, that's what makes me bitter the most I think, more than these guys being unrespectful. I mean in terms of material life I know this freelance guy is making a fortune a

Ahah, your friend is fun in the way he's passionate about this. But I agree with him on absolutely everything he said. Thanks for sharing your story, too, at least now I know my interviews were pretty short compared to what I may have

Well I'm sorry but some of those people are paid by companies to handle HR, professionalism doesn't look like an option to me. It is true though that I have nothing to gain in this. I'm a web dev with experience in front-end,

Yes, this is something I've been telling myself. Somebody who's disrespectful at this point will be painful to work with. However, I nevertheless need a job so that I can get on with my life, you know? Being on pause and watching

Friends are overrated. If you worked that much on those projects, you must have felt like this was more interesting to you than going out. And honestly, if you're an introvert, going out sucks, working alone is much more interesting. A

What puzzles me is that most of the articles I've written for this site are working quite well in terms of CTR, and I never did A/B testing for them. Right now I have two images on my home page linking to my lessons, one is a beac

If I were a music beginner and I saw an experienced player offering me an insight into his playing and his email address to help me, I'd become a fan. I actually follow some rather mediocre people online just because they put stuff out

My AdSense CTR is actually much better (3%-5%), that's what I don't understand. But I've just deployed a new version and I put some sexy unsplash.com images in my CTA and content. It's only been a few minutes but it&#x27

A quick look at the author's tweets reveals this is not as innocent as you seem to say it is. Plato once said something along the lines of: "those who mix art with politics must be either unsure of their art or of their political

Couldn't this have been done without taking gay marriage as the first example? Or does IT always need to go hand in hand with unconditional progressism?

Have you been hacked? Mind sharing some more details? I might be in a honeymoon period with my VPS right now, sure. But Google has shut down Gmail accounts for no reason, too. There are always going to be risks on both sides.

On the other hand, if nobody's ever leaving Google, Google will sure keep its access to almost everybody's mail. And I don't agree with the time argument. I ordered a VPS a few weeks ago (mainly to host my websites) and it di
