Many of these things are covered by elance's Independent Contractor Services Agreement, found here: https://www.elance.com/p/legal/Independent-Contractor-Servic... IANAL but supple…

Nice. I had quite a thrift-store clothing collection in high school. Wish I hadn't given them back to good will. My favorite was an official Waste Management t-shirt, worn by some …

Being text-only helps immensely.

What's wrong with Buzzfeed?

I think what he's suggesting is that a topic-based filtering system would be more ideal than a key work based one. I don't want to have to spell out "block yankee's, tigers, indian…

There are social consequences of unfriending someone, regardless of how annoying their posts are. De-friending someone is the digital equivalent of saying "I don't want to be your …

It has nothing to do with being "edgy". It has everything to do with not wanting to be flooded with Bible verses, prayer requests, and mindless proselytizing. It's obnoxious.

If you really are an atheist you've taken this whole idea of "open-mindedness" way too far and let a slough of nonsense overwhelm your rational sensibilities. Stop trying to be "ok…

As a soon-to-be small business owner (web-based) one thing that's been on my mind lately is the potential for DDOS attacks to take down my site, lose me customers, and cost me busi…

Thanks for the summary. Reading articles is so 5 years ago. From what I've read it seems that Reddit is unprofitable more by choice than by anything else though. They refuse any se…
