Yeah, but while they might not be convinced, some stranger that needs this information may stumble across it -- and it may do them good to read it. ADHD is no joke and stimulant medications are vitally important, as one component, in the treatment of ADHD.

Incredibly false. see my comments below, there are way more potential risks that should out weigh any potential benefits, there are non-stimulant based treatments for ADHD that are just as effective and don't require you to play russian roulette with your sanity. Your comment is ill informed and incredibly dangerous.

Thats strong advice. Where did you get your medical degree amd where can we read your research?

Obviously it must be vast, or you wouldn't be able to make sweeping claims that contradict soo much evidence to the contrary.

> you will never convince me otherwise

I suppose its good to have a religion.


With their track record of discontinuing products I wouldn’t dream of signing up, even if it were offered and amazing. Who knows when the rug would be pulled out from under my fiscal feet?


That or having an algorithm incorrectly decide you are a bad actor and immediately freezing your account with no real recourse other than appealing the decision via webform only to have it denied 7/10ths of a second after you submit it.


Don't forget the linked Google Account and YouTube account getting banned as well


Unlike the other areas Google operates in, banking is actually regulated even in the US

Though I'm sure we would quickly discover the exact boundaries of what's allowed by said regulation


How does one even get a list of dropped domains to populate this database? This is something I really have no knowledge about.


Have built a domain registrar.

The industry term for this business is called “drop catching” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_drop_catching

Domain registries provide registrars with reports of domains which are set to expire, and if you’re not a registrar yourself, you can often purchase these lists on a secondary market or use APIs built upon serving this information.

But even if you don’t have that list, you can do a Whois search for any domain and know its expiration. You could build your own database!

Note that most domains have a grace period (eg, 30 days) where the original owner can renew even after it has expired. So it’s not like you’d be able to steal someone’s domain just because of a clerical error.

Back in the day Microsoft dropped the ball with passport.com, shutting down hotmail over Christmas.

You’d think Microsoft would have learnt their lesson but no, 3 years later it was Hotmail.co.uk that dropped off

It turns out that grace periods (called a "redemption grace period") weren't proposed until 2003. I'm not actually sure when this process was approved by ICANN - sometime between 2003 and 2013.

The latest version of ICANN's registrar accreditation agreement, in 2013, includes grace period provisions. https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/approved-with-specs-20...


Hey, also posted it above, but here again:

Droplists are from namejet, domain cleaning is done by checking against zone-files from ICANN (that's why I don't currently check .tv and .cc domains as there are no zone-files by ICANN provided for them. As they are country specific, I would have to build custom solutions for them, which I don't want for a proof of concept).


Many counties in Western Kansas, are, apparently COVID hot spots, at least that’s according to this article: https://www.hutchnews.com/news/20201101/western-kansas-riddl...


As per your link and also Wikipedia, Ryanair doesn’t operate any 737 MAX yet, but have placed orders for them.


Debt collectors calling and having your credit score dinged isn’t the definition of violence.


I mean, ultimately if you try to keep your stuff, people will break into your house, beat you, throw you into a cage and lock you in close proximity with rapists.

If you try to keep your stuff and resist them, they will blow your brains out.


Particularly for those living in Europe, or those that have a lot of international friends - all with phone numbers from different countries - it's a godsend. My phone bill would be ridiculous if I were texting my friends in Sweden or Brazil from my Dutch SIM. iMessage for similar reasons.

Also the group messages are great. My housemates and I all talk via a WhatsApp group. It makes it far easier to hold a coherent group conversation when some of us aren't at home. SMS would be a ballache.

Oh and GIFs, voice messages, and videos can be sent in messages. Free calling too. I can call my friends in Australia for nothing, and it's not a bullshit experience like Skype.

I almost never send true blue SMS any longer.


For those that are wondering: this installs these screensavers on MacOS. https://github.com/JohnCoates/Aerial


Does it download the videos themselves onto your local mac or does it stream them like the AppleTV does ?


I've tried it out and it appears to stream them, however, there's an option to cache the videos locally.


It caches them. Uses a ton of space though, so be careful.


Yep, 11GB.


Plug the phone in with a cable, and drag them into te Tunes folder on the device. There doesn't seem to be any way to delete them now though!


I'll have to give that a try. I just moved phones, and I want to get the custom ringtones I've already created onto the new phone. I don't particularly want to delete them. :)


Instagram has a long history of copying Snapchat, so Snapchat copied Instagram's interface/features as a joke for April Fool's Day.


Ta, I don't use either.

I did find the Rick and Morty April fools joke kinda funny, in a world that April fools has been ruined kinda like Valentine's day.
