This is downright silly. HOSTS files are static. They were never designed for blocking ads or tracking. And for all we know, every connection does a linear search through the HOSTS…

This same EPA? https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/17/us/navajo-nation-sues-epa... Don't get me wrong, I think the EPA is a net gain. But let's not pretend they're prefect simply becau…

My wife and I have an iOS and Android phone, and an Alexa home thingy. - Android definitely reads our voice better. Alexa is a close second. iOS has to be helped in loud or non-ide…

Think of it more like SQL, where you're describing a model, then a series of steps.
