Once your client "clicks" all the ads suddenly all meta data about you becomes useless. That is much better than simply not showing ads.
elcct··on Piwik 3.0.0
Is it still unusable for sites with traffic?
elcct··on React-MD – React components built with Sass
Am I the only one who thinks Material Design and its derivatives is just plain ugly? If I see a website created with this style, I press Ctrl+W close to speed of light.
elcct··on Xamarin for All
My experience so far is that I tried to install it yesterday and VS didn't acknowledge it is installed. I restarted my computer and then VS was able to run the default project, but the project immediately crashed upon start, without any stack trace or pointer about what could have gone wrong. Not a great start :)

Dynamodb has performance guarantees and you don't have to get into nightmare of maintaining MongoDB cluster.
elcct··on $10 Showdown: Linode vs. Digital Ocean vs. Amazon Lightsail
In reality you get very little for $10. If you need more than 8 instances it makes more sense to rent dedicated server and get something like Rancher

elcct··on UK's Investigatory Powers Act: Enshrining Parallel Construction in English Law
I think it is another way for them to make money on the side. They get access to secrets and are directly responsible for companies to move forward. That way you can pay someone to block competition or get access to their trading secrets. Simply put, this law is enabling corruption on an unprecedented scale and privacy argument is just convenient to steer away conversation from what really it is about.

elcct··on Dockerizing MySQL at Uber Engineering
Disclaimer: I have never used Uber.

What if user orders Uber from one city to another? If driver is then in another city, wouldn't be nice to give him some rides in that city or when someone wants to go back to original city? What about cities that are near the border? If user would like to go shopping to another country? (Not uncommon in Europe. Long time ago I used to take local bus from Poland to Germany, do some shopping and go back)

elcct··on New XPS 13 Developer Edition Lands in Europe, United States and Canada
I hope they'll keep the motherboard format, so that you could upgrade it to future cpus etc. as the "shell" and the screen is pretty good. It is very easy to replace a motherboard in XPS 13 - i did this to upgrade my XPS 9350 from 8GB to 16GB, without an issue and Dell has very detailed documentation how to do it.
