Personally I've used Coinbase since 2013 and apart from a couple transactions (in 2013) getting flagged for fraud and reversed I haven't had any problems. Despite whole bunch of personal horror stories, I don't think they are a malicious, just unprepared for last year's massive usage spike.

My understanding when I last played with Nextdoor a couple years ago was that they do address verification either through mailing you a postcard or some sort of phone numbers/credit card check. And then you can only interact with people in your neighborhood, or the adjacent ones.

While Nextdoor is technically a subset of Facebook the same way snapchat's disappearing pictures and twitters character limit also is, having a restriction/focus makes the product more compelling to certain people.

This article feels like a puff piece for Monero, as opposed to a true discussion on the merits of anonymous cryptocurrency, which would minimally mention a subset of what you have listed above.

I mean I personally feel like there is a brand vacuum. There isn't really a 'Tesla' of e-bikes right now. And something like 30-40% of Dutch people bike, so it definitely doesn't have to be niche.

Boosted board owner here, I did a market research survey a while back asking me about my opinion on electric skateboards, scooters, bikes etc. Pure speculation here, but there's a chance they go into bikes. Bikes are a much bigger market segment than longboards.

I just. I just really don't want to have to learn powershell =(

After playing around with a bunch of different websites, I've concluded I can't tell that much difference between low and high bitrate mp3 audio. The difference between good and bad headphones is obvious to me, but bitrate is not.

I'm curious as to how a chain of cars would react to a gap appearing. The ideal balance would be to space the cars out evenly, but would that work on the individual car level when each driver looks at the cars in front and behind?

When will people learn to stop lying about the behavior of a car that keeps logs of everything it does?

How much are scoopers paid?

It's not very efficient compared to specialized mining hardware. I haven't done the math but your return will probably be <<1% of the credits.

I personally hate wearing my tin foil hat, but Hillary Clinton really seems to attract a lot of controversies.

Does anyone have any additional info on #4?

Google is notorious for not having 'human" customer service though. Their philosophy of automating everything means flagged videos will get removed, and then the content creator get directed to a community forum to vent.

This has happened to me before too.

TLDR: Productivity per week is a linear function of time spent working, up to 48-49 hours, where it starts to fall off.

This guy whines a lot, in a way that makes it hard to sympathize with him.

I've never used google cloud services but google is pretty famous for not having human support. They philosophy involves trying to automate as much as possible, and then pointing you at a community forum as a fallback.

Did he sell the data? How can prosecutors accuse him of personal gain if he did not gain anything personally? What a kangaroo court.

That kid is a little shit. Its not a bad thing, I was a little shit as a teenager too. Thank god the internet wasn't around to blow me way out of proportion.

I see a future where a much smaller percentage of people cook. Roughly equivalent in percentage and frequency as adults that would play a musical instrument or tend to a garden.

Right now a lot of people cook meals not just because they enjoy to do so, but because having someone else cook healthy meals for you all the time is too expensive. A "Full Sprig" society can hopefully leverage specialization and economies of scale the same way that people no longer keep hens for eggs.

Yes, the feel-good-local-farm(kitchen)-to-table aspect is lost, but most people don't care about that.

wait that is not what the article seemed to suggest at all.

I wonder if MindGeek will move to a more legal revenue split/share model as it grows the same way Youtube did.

I played with ruby and rails briefly, and then decided it was not for me. It felt a bit archaic and it seems like 5-10 years ago it was the best option by far for a web framework, but today things like node and django have caught up. I went with django because I like (and am better at) python.

For a new company, pick a scripting language you are most comfortable with (if it's php, pick your next best language). Then pick the most active framework from that pool. You can never get to the end of a rails vs whatever debate so just go ahead and pick a framework you will enjoy working with.

Not trading options, setting up stock options for employees.

thats way too snarky.

Hi! I did some research before writing this blog post (okay, I spent 5 minutes reading the wikipedia article on power cycling).

It turns out rocket controllers get power cycled too.

source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_cycling

Hi! Blog post author here. My initial draft had this at the bottom:

"Disclaimer: If you have a recurring problem, power cycling will not fix your root cause. "

At some point I must have decided the whole thing was too long and that sentence didn't make the cut.

I personally would not go as far as to say:"it's not acceptable to power cycle to fix problems".

I see it more like:"not all problems can be fixed with power cycling".

Wait this is a joke right. What the fuck is wrong with Silicon Valley.

Historically chat companies have had difficulties monetizing chat. Snapchat isn't a traditional messaging app though. There's something about graphics and photos being good for ads. I still reserve judgement on whether or not snapchat will go boom or bust.

I have the batman router for more than a year and I've power cycled it once. Realistically I don't know if the problem was with the modem, the router or my computer.
