$99 to roll out an internal dashboard in hours, so my engineers can focus on more important things? Yes please.

If this is for your personal webpage, $99 might be too much. If this is for your business, and $99 can save you more than an hour or two of employee time, it's a steal.

tajano··on The Ashley Madison Database Was Leaked
I assume "verified" means that Ashley Madison's server sent a verification email to that address, and the user at that address clicked on the verification link included in that email.

Certainly, someone might enter in barack.obama@whitehouse.gov for fun. Presumably, emails to that address (and the official public email address, president@whitehouse.gov) get routed somewhere. But who is checking the emails sent to the president's public address? That likely requires a team of people, one of whom might have clicked on the link.

I signed up years ago out of curiosity. I was single, and had no intention of getting involved with a married woman. I just wanted to see if people were actually dumb enough to post their own pictures on a cheating website.

I can confirm it tested negative for negatives, and positive for a positive.

It's fast because it supports the 802.11ac standard, which offers faster rates than 802.11n. The 802.11ac standard provisions for various rates, including the 1900 Mbps rate supported by this device. That's 600 Mbps over the 2.4 GHz band, plus 1,300 Mbps over the 5 GHz band.

802.11ac enables faster rates primarily by supporting wider bandwidths, more antennas, and larger symbol constellations (each symbol transmitted over the wireless channel can take on one value from a larger set of possible values, thereby conveying more information per symbol).

Keeping time has been a difficult problem for... well, as long as we've tried keeping time. For an interesting historical account on past difficulties, you might check out the book "Longitude" [1].

Because React's cool for the next five minutes, and now we need to re-implement everything in React.
