They won't let me in even with a fresh Chrome without any plugins at all. They still tell me to disable adblock.

Their adblock-checking seems very broken.

Thank you. I just tried to read more about it but all I got from amazon.com was "We're sorry. Kindle Unlimited is not available in your country. Please stay tuned.".

I read the whole article and didn't find any explanation what "KU" was. Now I find here that it means "Kindle Unlimited" but I still have no idea what it is. Some kind of subscription service?

I buy a lot of Kindle books but never seen any "Unlimited" offer, perhaps something that is US only?

Thank you, I felt really confused when I saw the title but as usual, I read comments here before clicking the link.

I do love my paperwhite but I really can't see myself "upgrading" to this. Faster page turns? Really?

Well, for stuff small enough to keep in a pocket, travel/check-in-weight isn't really an issue.

But you are right, most people here are not in the target market.

The most recent Uber Android app requested access to app history and browser history. There may be a legitimate reason for this but I can't see it.

Yes, but it was invented by a Norwegian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_Bj%C3%B8rklund

Oh, a freshly made troll account accompanied by his "friends".

They probably just think it is fair that the joy of furniture assembly is shared with Americans. :)

Maybe you should watch the show before you comment. Unless your "few negative marks" said that you are a registered sex offender your comment isn't relevant at all.

Also, "improving" your credit score by paying off debt with a credit card seems to be proof that the credit report system is broken.

> If you got (0,0), how would you know which country

You could read the "country" field that is returned together with the location.

Right, let me rephrase that. "All reliable sources indicate that it was an inside job".

Well, that may be worth saying again and again, though those who need to understand it are probably not reading anything security related anyway.

This "breach" happened a year ago and all sources indicate that it was an inside job.

Seeing Wordfence using this to promote their product does not create much confidence.

I notice that the pictures in your first link contradict each other. The world view shows Sweden as ok, the sidebar European map says that it's not.

> Stereotypes wouldn't be stereotypes if there wasn't a grain of truth in them.

Not true. Stereotypes are usually based on assumptions. The "grain of truth hypothesis" is used to enhance the stereotype, most often by people that prefer to believe in the assumption rather than facts.

It varies a lot depending on what kind of business you're running. For a typical e-commerce site, you could be right.

I don't believe that phrase means what you think, but I'm familiar with the situation.

When this happens, there are usually only two kinds of farmers. Those that comes running with a shotgun demanding compensation for destroyed crop. Then there are those that comes with a camera and just want a picture of them with the pilot that landed on their field.

I think this story needs to be mentioned (as usual when SR-71 links are posted): http://www.econrates.com/reality/schul.html

Meanwhile, their stock is tanking. But they seem too busy patting themselves on the back to even notice.

most likely from a part of his body not suitable to mention here. :) But, if you get kicked out of the play store for breaking the rules, don't you also lose any funds you have earned through google?

I guess he could use mobile ads from a third party that doesn't care about the app changing names.

Fully agree, but those things you plug into the TV are most likely connected to the internet, right? The parent said that his TV would never benefit at all from using the internet. I think it does, doesn't matter if the connection is built into the TV or via a gadget plugged into it.

Are you sure about the TV? Personally, I think streaming services are great. Granted, most "smart TVs" aren't actually that smart, but still useful.

"What we do know right now is that the alleged data breach affected about 0.5% ... "

They know that it affected some of their customers, but still call it "the alleged breach"?

None, unless you use a VPN with an endpoint you trust.

Yeah, the value of "XFN" is debatable. But it's usually written as a link element that doesn't really break anything.

Starter edition is pretty much useless. You may use it to "get a taste" of Xamarin, but you can't really make any useful apps with it.

What "default template" would that be?

As for the "lang" attribute, it is set to the language chosen when WordPress was installed.

Some of the "promo images" on that page looks quite similar to what Niantec uses to promote Ingress, yes. But neither game really looks anything like the promotion pictures.
