Kids.. You're not going to have a relaxed evening at a different restaurant every day with a three years old.

Maybe exactly because of this. Every social media is battling spam, and Reddit hasn't to such an extent. They don't know the value of what they have

I work for a software/web development company in the automotive industry. It's unbelievable how much of a website project consists of tracking. For one client, we have four different tracking systems running.

The thing that counts most is knowing who visits their website, what they do and how they do it. The website itself is almost an afterthought.

It's come to the point where basic functions like a contact form simply don't work when you have adblock or Disconnect running.

Fine by me. Those are the sites that don't get my business, and increasingly it's not nerds like me who are using ad- and tracking-blocking tools. They are accessible, reliable, and more frequently being included and enabled by default.

It's not something ad networks can fix. Once active content is blocked on the client, it's game over. Your content simply doesn't work, and we'll to your competitor with the working site for what we need.

Because the typical use case of copying a few files does not really compare to the use case of having to copy 43 terabyte of critical data that may or may not have corruptions. It's nothing but wise to double check.

They don't all go bad, they don't all die or fizzle out. Some prosper. Usually because of excellent and strong moderation.

See /r/askhistorians, for example. Phenomenal moderation.

Yep.

Of which I'm quite aware for having been caught in it more than once. With non-meme posts.

F.Lux has been a standard program for me for years. The best compliment I can give is that I forgot I had it installed. It's simply perfect.

It sets goals very clearly outside of 'I need a working system'.
