Fuck Domainparkers 5 years ago

I fail to see that's wrong with domain parking. You buy a promising domain now hoping that someone will pay you more for it later.

If not for those f*cking stock parkers, I'd still be buying TSLA at $10 today!

Life expectancy in Hong Kong is 84.23 years, more than five years longer than the US and the highest in the world. Hong Kong is not that wealthy (median household income is $38,000 USD); it’s somewhat polluted; people don’t obviously eat what seems like a healthy diet; and they don’t seem to exercise a great deal. What should we learn from this?

We should learn that Hong Kong is probably a smaller territory so any of its "average" metrics has a higher chance of being an outlier, out of sheer randomness.

App developer here.

Overtalk was born out of my frustration with text messaging. How many times did you want to share a spur-of-the-moment thought or idea, but then gave up while trying to type it up on the phone screen?

True, most messaging apps let you send voice messages. But the voice functionality is shoehorned into the old text chat paradigm with its message bubbles and chat history that's kept forever. And, by default, messages are played over the speakerphone so everyone around can hear them.

Overtalk is different. Raise phone to ear to listen to the incoming messages, and speak your reply after the beep. No buttons to press and no over-the-shoulder listening to worry about. To the uninitiated, it looks like you're on a phone call.

I started testing Overtalk with friends and family a few months ago, and it’s now part of our daily lives. Give it a try - you might like it, too!

P.S. At the moment, the app is only available in the US App Store.

Why is AIM shutting down?

We know there are so many loyal fans who have used AIM for decades; and we loved working and building the first chat app of its kind since 1997. Our focus will always be on providing the kind of innovative experiences consumers want. We’re more excited than ever to focus on building the next generation of iconic brands and life-changing products.

Corporate BS-speak at its best. Three sentences and 0% answering the question.

Instagram

I paid them for the app. Then they sold the app to Facebook. Now I see targeted ads and promoted posts.

Was Instagram really a paid app at some point? Couldn't find any references to this.

Exactly! The OP's point is summarized in this sentence:

My point is that the spec requires + to be escaped only inside the querystring.

So what? What the standard mandates for query strings is irrelevant here. It's up to the server how to interpret and map the URLs. "Unconventional and unfortunate" - yes, but breaking the HTTP spec? No.

WebRTC being peer-to-peer, calls are encrypted end-to-end between peers. So if WhatsApp calls are peer-to-peer, then the call content would not be visible to WhatsApp/Facebook.

However, it's still possible to put a server between two participants so that instead of communicating directly, they would be communicating through this intermediate endpoint which would have access to call content - without call participants even knowing. So ultimately it's a question of trusting a particular service, not the protocol used.
