Method-X··on Google to end the “top stories carousel” benefit to AMP next spring
Can you give me an example of a search that produces content farm results? I mainly search for technical docs and such so perhaps I’m not seeing it as much because of that.
Method-X··on Kik, once valued at $1B, is to be closed
I made no comment(s) on your above mentioned points. I was replying the assertion that "trading gains are someone else's trading loses".

So now the stock market is a scam too?

Method-X··on Skin printer wipes years from your face [video]
They mean if you have burst blood vessels, the makeup printer will cover them up.
Method-X··on Toronto’s Tech Industry
If Toronto doesn’t appeal to you, check out the Kitchener/Waterloo area (about an hour from downtown Toronto). Been living here for 17 years and love it. Very tech friendly and educated community.
Method-X··on Show HN: Edabit – Like Duolingo for Learning to Code
I don't remember the exact cost but the link I provided is the UpWork profile of the guy I hired.
Method-X··on Show HN: Edabit – Like Duolingo for Learning to Code
Just because a testimonial image can be found elsewhere on the web doesn't mean it's fake. The images are of the actual person who gave the testimonial but I changed their names. I see absolutely nothing wrong with doing that.

All code is executed in a docker container and destroyed after runtime completes (or times out). It's also contained on a remote server completely unrelated to the functioning of the web app itself. Over the past year and a half I've hired two developers familiar with how docker works to find security exploits. None could find any. Can you still access the file you created?

The community submits links to external resources. I don't want to be left moderating what I personally believe is a good or bad resource. I'd rather users downvote unhelpful resources.

Lots of people using the site right now. Usually it's very fast.
Method-X··on Toronto adds more tech jobs than Silicon Valley in past 5 years
I can definitely second Kitchener/Waterloo. Absolutely fantastic place to live!
Method-X··on Facebook lifts cryptocurrency ban amid rumours of Coinbase takeover
Google did the exact same thing with AdWords back in the day. Doesn't make it right but I think it's worth mentioning.
Method-X··on Microsoft acquires Github
I wonder if GitHub will stop development on Atom and move to VS Code.
Method-X··on Ask HN: What's your favorite way of getting a web app up quickly in 2018?
I'm using Meteor with React and Semantic-UI-React. Not everything has to be realtime with Meteor; use Meteor.methods() instead. For most projects, I can definitely recommend using this stack.

Method-X··on Ask HN: What has been your most rewarding job or project and why?
I've been working for about a year and a half on https://edabit.com which started as a side project for me to learn React. Not only did I end up learning a bunch of new frameworks / libraries, but seeing the application help thousands of people learn a programming language has been the most rewarding experience of all.
Method-X··on Tech Bootcamps in Palestine
You don't need an expensive coding bootcamp. I honestly think you'll get more value from something like https://edabit.com or http//codewars.com
Method-X··on Facebook pauses app reviews, disables new user authorizations
Interesting tax avoidance strategy. Any idea if this is also what Bill Gates is doing?
Method-X··on 'The Gig Economy' Is the New Term for Serfdom
Exactly. Almost like it's a problem with the fundamentals of the system itself.
Method-X··on Uzi Nissan Spent 8 Years Fighting Nissan Motor Company to Keep Nissan.com
I wonder why he didn't counter sue for damages. At least the article didn't mention if he did or not.

You can access ZeroNet through Tor.
Method-X··on Craigslist takes personals sections offline in response to FOSTA
I'd encourage folks here to check out ZeroNet (https://zeronet.io). It's a cool little project I've been following for the past couple years that's attempting to decentralize the Internet. It's not very popular but surprisingly it has 11.5k stars on GitHub (https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet).
Method-X··on Mozilla Presses Pause on Facebook Advertising
And thank god they didn't.
Method-X··on Show HN: My embarrassing personal website from the 90s
The site is down due to increased traffic from HN. Here is an archived version: https://web.archive.org/web/20180303000007/http://boglin.iwa...
Method-X··on Google removes ‘view image’ button from search results
That doesn't seem to work either. If you right click and copy image address / open in new tab, the website opens and not the image itself.
Method-X··on But what about blockchain apps?
What about something like Steem/EOS? The general idea being that anyone can build a centralized UI layer that plugs into a decentralized database. I'm genuinely curious and have not invested in either of those cryptos.
