Destitute

Owning a given .com seems to instill a sense of authority on the matter for branding purposes. I don't think it has the same effect like back in the 90's where people may have just guessed at domain names to find something in lieu of a search engine, or like AOL Keywords, but they still do have a bit of prestige and seem to signal some kind of trust on the matter to most.

That being said, nowadays it just doesn't end at a generic TLD, and just by way of owning ai.com they are not going (or expecting) to suddenly see huge influxes of users and traffic... but used in conjunction with ad spots that call out ai.com it's a lot easier to start positioning that authority.

When I think karaoke, I think microphone. It appears this makes no use of a microphone or captures the singer's vocals in any way, it just isolates the instrumental tracks and eliminates or reduces the vocal track.

A microphone (and ideally having your own vocals mixed with the audio output) is the core feature of karaoke, not playing an instrumental version of the song.

Doesn't appear to be karaoke because I'm assuming it doesn't take your voice and throw it into the mix.

I would be shocked if the new Outlook was Electron and not WebView2. Is there any confirmation on that or is Electron the new "Rollerblade" and "Band-aid" for wrappers?

Teams is already very close to switching off of Electron to WebView2.

I think after about a week, the Windows Search Index goes to work. I only noticed it because it caused my mouse cursor to go from pointer to hourglass every 2 seconds. Went on for about 3 or 4 days.

There's not much you can confirm over the phone, except the account PIN and sometimes security hint. But an attacker can pretend to have forgotten it and press that the matter is urgent. If the attacker knows enough about the person, they might be able to convince an agent to make the swap so the agent can:

1) Get on with their day to maybe hit a support request quota 2) Make sure this person doesn't give them a bad customer satisfaction score

It appears that RealityKit is going to be that replacement to SceneKit. In the Apple forums, Apple engineers/employees are pushing RealityKit in nonAR camera mode as a multithreaded SceneKit replacement.

I don't know about ICANN, but I have had domains suspended for not confirming email addresses on file in the WHOIS on a yearly basis.

Yea, there's a lot of sites that take advantage of this like The Christian Post who target high search keywords for their "news" that has no relevance to the actual term.

Search for "Stream NFL games" and "Watch NFL football online free" and other variants and see them pop up for everything with no mention of actually streaming games online (obviously).

There is no state sales tax that is 10%. If you combine city, county, and state sales tax, you get 10% in just two cities in the entire United States (both in Alabama).

Here is the video that Brinke saw and identified her as lying, can you?

As a consumer, RetailMeNot is great. As another website that sells products for commission, it's terrible. If RetailMeNot can find a coupon that I fail to mention, that's fine.

But RetailMeNot also steals that last click cookie with coupons that simply do not work or are not really coupons (Check out the Amazon Free shipping "coupon" for example). That's nothing but cookie stuffing, and if it were any other smaller company doing something similar they'd probably get banned from the Amazon affiliate program.

Basically, imagine you as a website owner buying a product on Amazon and writing a review about it, reading the review out while piecing together a video montage that shows it off, taking some pictures of it, and compiling it all just to get a little bit of commission if someone reads and watches your review. Then the customer searches for an Amazon coupon before checking out, goes to RetailMeNot, and then gets the "Free Shipping on 35+ deal" that is not even a deal or coupon, or even a coupon that does not even work or exist. This million dollar company has stolen your effort and will get commission on that sale. It's just rotten from that viewpoint.

Whatever you do, do not give any information to that site unless you want unsolicited calls and emails for months.

Does anyone know what language he coded the game in? It's kind of a feat in itself that he ported it (by himself) to Android rather quickly. Is he using some sort of wrapper?

I feel so much better that I don't have to both typing out <br /> anymore after running my HTML through a validator when I first began serious HTML coding (self-taught). It was a habit that stuck with me and is by far one of the most difficult, finger-stretching pieces of code to write. Nowadays I don't even have too much use for breaks, but it's going to be a relief to just throw a <br> ... Ahhh that was so easy to type.

The fascinating thing about DOGECOIN, is the vast majority of the internet judge it purely based on its aesthetic and name. Take away the "DOGE" and it still has one of the most supportive, charitable, and active communities. All three of those are important to have a successful currency because that community grows.

People call it a joke or parody purely based on its name, and don't have the mental fortitude to think beyond the DOGE aesthetic which was intended as a spark to get the engine going.

DOGE could become the de-facto internet tipping protocol if they go that route.

Hell, they could even change the name and shut everyone up too... and then I wonder if people would still call it a joke currency or parody? Hmmm..

You realize any Joe Schmoe can annotate what he personally believes the meaning of a particular lyric is.

If you read any Kanye West lyrics on that site, they break down every line like it's some kind of literary divine intervention of pure brilliance by grasping at every straw possible.

Kind of like Too Big to Fail. Hmm...

The abuse already goes on, and it's much more involved and 1,000% more effective than trading links.

I've never read anything more douchey in my life. Are they trying to appeal to the "hip-hop" crowd with the feigned street talk?

For some reason, the "Wahhhh, but they do it toooOoooOo" is what I would expect from these three.

I go to reddit for the curated links, it's obvious you used it to read comments.

There's a lot wrong with this article and it stinks that this person paints the entire affiliate canvas with a poop-colored brush. The fact that they continuously pushed the commission all the way down to 0% is also terrible for affiliates. As people in the comments stated, this was a poorly run affiliate campaign and is no fault but their own. There's "shysters" in every business, and the fact that they pushed down the commission to 0% for all of their affiliates and not just ones taking advantage the coupon code entry field to base their affiliate site on makes me label Kogan.com as "shysters" moreso than all of the affiliates they tried to portary in that light.

Manually approve affiliates that will add value, remove affiliates or don't approve affiliates who are going to advertise non-existent coupon codes. The end, don't treat an affiliate campaign as an easy money button.

edit: And they also seem perplexed that affiliates kept sending $200,000 in sales no matter the commission. True evidence they had no knowledge of how affiliate sites work. If they're performing well, webmasters can essentially set them and forget them. It's not like they're actively working 8 hours a day pushing sales, it can be a static website that never changes as long as the revenue is steady for the affiliate.

Yep, FTC doesn't like that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/10/endortest.shtm
