I'm not a huge fan of Shopify. Their default setup and theme requirements are abysmal. But it's light-years ahead of WordPress+Woocom. Neither of these are well set to run a proper ecommerce without heavy customizations…
Where's your control group showing that people who don't age don't have an increased risk of cancer?
+1 for Ritual. The interface is a little clunky, but the service as a whole works really well. Order ahead, walk in to pick up.
Does this interfere with lazy loading?
I wonder how services like Stadia will play into this moving forward. Why not get a copy in Nigeria, have a server hosted there, and just play it streaming.
New startup idea: learn foreign languages by playing pirated copies of foreign language games.
Thanks for this insight. It's a good reminder that reality is nuanced and complex.
Google marketing trying to spread FUD about "ad blocking". This is a malicious ads blocker, which should be a default feature of it's browser. It's not an ad blocking extension at all.
This telemetry thing is surprisingly overlooked in these discussions. I've disabled tracking and reporting on at least 4 separate occasions since windows auto updated my laptop from Windows 7 to windows 10 without user…
To be fair, people said this about Tesla and SpaceX as well. Given his track record, I'm inclined to believe he understands the problem space and how to solve it better than you or I. Yes, the burden is on him to…
I just did this last month. It's a solid risk management move. Never had an issue with PayPal debiting funds though, in 10+ years using them.
Ironically, I tracked the real world identity of someone using stolen credit cards in my ecom site BECAUSE he posted a tutorial/how-to on YouTube showing the vulnerability tool (script kiddie), under his real name. SMH.…
It's not just CBD. Hemp seeds are an amazingly nutrient rich food. Sibling comments mentioned it can be used in fabrics and paper. It's an amazingly versatile product that's been unfortunately supressed in the war on…
Not really. They were profitable, they just invested heavily in infrastructure (warehouses) and developing new services (AWS). They may have been unattractive by wall street's standards (eg. Pay outs) but they were far…
Cloudflare was returning a 502 this morning, wonder if they're related. Lots and lots of sites down for about an hour, including all of Shopify.
This. It's not just that one block of minecraft was once forest and is now dirt. It's a loss of ecosystem for huge numbers of species. It's additional GHG as they transport the wood. Some of that wood will end up being…

The authors trysera company had a truly horrific business model. Selling consumer data to companies based on website _visit_. No opt in. They claim it's legit because the companies feeding them customer data "opted in".
Shelf companies is an interesting approach I hadn't considered. I wouldn't call anything you described easy, but I'm not a nation state trying to illegal smuggle banned goods. I disagree that you can churn and burn…

No link to the actual study. I need to know if they controlled for body fat and lifestyle. It's well established that high body fat percentage is correlated with lower sex hormone production. Among other factors, this…
Yes, it would. The application process is a bitch, and fairly invasive. This isn't something you can churn and burn.
As far as I'm aware, this applies to the person filing the documents. If a person does this on behalf of a company without referencing the company, he's personally liable. If the company is listed on the paperwork,…
Remember it? There's a squatter on a domain I want, who is offering to _rent it_ for $2000 _per month_. An archive.org search shows it was rented for 2 months in the last 7 years. I don't agree with ICANNs proposal in…
