    Been working on this for about a year. Basically my first real 'startup' since I launched Tinychat nearly a decade ago. Essentially, this is google analytics for where you have bee…

    Golds value comes entirely from the fact that we as a society give it value. The beauty line doesnt work, because then platinum shouldnt have any serious value despite its rarity (…

    Hogwash. The worth of a company is what someone will pay for it. Thats literally the definition of the market cap. Trying to say "But these shares are overvalued right now!" means …

    I think its been around 7 years since a public exploit has been dropped for the apple airport extreme. YMMV though, as Apple has stopped selling them which means support is likely …

    So, thats more code you want me to write, to support how many total potential users on the planet? I'm good. They knew what they signed up for when they chose to use an email like …

    I disagree. While n@ai might be a technically valid email, its such a extreme edge case ( maybe 1 out of 1,000,000 people have a email like this) that its worth denying that person…

    Does a password management / U2F solution exist that would let you view all password titles with a master password but only dispense the actual passwords, one at a time, via a butt…

    Does using a USB ethernet adapter mitigate all of the AMT issues? IE- Something like this : https://www.anker.com/products/variant/usb-3-0-to-gigabit-et...

    My first instinct reading this was to think about the gothamist/dnainfo kerfuffle. However, Checking the new yorkers revenue shows around 200 million/yr, I definitely did not expec…

    Considered this before, but it doesnt work. IIRC, the law applies to euro citizens both living in country and abroad. As such, geoip blocking is not a working strategy. (a french c…

    11 million distributed around is going to be close to nothing on a per-publisher basis. I wouldn't be surprised if the spread was more than 100 to 1 on owed vs collected. (so if yo…

    Technically this was possible before this. Since the email to each slack user is an @company.com address all you need to do is take control of the employees email address, reset th…

    Looks to be about.... 10? times the cost of a normal elevator if I had to guess. I bet the maintenance costs are fun as well. As such, doubt you will see these except in niche buil…
