    You’re on the right track, the immediate value of the email addresses is near nil. Instead consider these email addresses are highly self-targeted due to the nature of the sign up.…

    If you change your mind, it shouldn’t be hard to handle the taxes; I think the approach would be the same as for hobby income. If you’re in the US and filing taxes as a employee I …

    Sure, same as the total cost of a movie is how long it takes to type the name into a torrent search and click the magnet link. If the OP wanted a bunch of dead temp emails, why ask…

    The problem is not unknown value. It’s unknown cost. Until I know everything you will ever do to me with my email I don’t know the true cost. What I can guess—given the thousands o…

    The reasons people choose to develop PWA or native have greater impacts on the user experience than the differences between the two. For example, many predict PWA development will …

    Note that TOTP is not limited to a single authenticator. You can, for example, scan the same TOTP setup QR code once with an app on your phone and again with a different app on you…

    For the "Anymore" part of the authors title to be logical, the points in his article about decreases in income disparity over time must be considered an integral part of his argume…

    TLDR; the author thinks outsourcing that attempts to increase ROI by leveraging international income disparities to minimize labor costs doesn't work because providers of such work…

    TLDR; In 2014 HR conducts a survey to find out what the people they hired think of HR's other surveys and find plenty of work for HR to spend the next year on and publishing about …

    Yes, "man" in this context is unequivocally gender-neutral. Hence my point that it's a visual irritant due to a very specific situation rather than saying it was an incorrect usage…

    Comment #9898558

    No. I'm making a pedantic (clearly) suggestion about a small visual irritant for the very good reason that because of the (hopefully) temporarily toxic environment in our field, so…

    Plugging in rates would seem to be more applicable to me (a professional in the field) than to the target audience (people who don't know about app development.) Maybe for the audi…

    Comment #9897453

    You're correct. It's just that our field is not in a good state with gender equality at moment, so some consideration beyond the literal meanings found in dictionaries is often wor…

    This seems to me to be estimating the cost to get from a fixed spec to "works on my machine (or simulator)" rather than the total cost to go from an idea to shipped product with no…

    I find my interest is most piqued by non-programming fields. So, for me the answer to this question has been: listen for opportunities in the communities around fun, non-programmin…

    1. Food, as already said, but so very important it bears repeating. I've found there's nothing like a lack of available chemical energy (or water to facilitate the reactions) to dr…

    Sure: CSS is better managed and maintained and more easily understood by future maintainers outside of React and JavaScript, i.e., more cheaply and with less risk. And there are pl…

    The way CSS in React should be is not to be.

    I'd say the fundamental issue is that they are solving the Yellow Pages problem, i.e. "how do I find a list of people who say they do what I need" or "… need what I do". That's not…
