Wouldn't it be more efficient to add blocking on router level? Making all of your devices (at home) ad-free.
Anyone exprerienced doing this?

We all know the answer is HN.

aapje | 11 years ago | on: Top male engineers at Google make nearly 20% more than their female peers
Needed to point this out because it relates to this topic.
Every article I read about male/female worker ratio or ethnicity diversity ignores to dive into the aspect of working skills. Why should a company be enforced by law (more countries are starting to do this) to hire someone less qualified, only to please politicians?

If you are interested in more images or detail, the village is called 'Hogeweyk'(meaning: higher area/borough), not Hogewey or Hogeway as the article states.

At this moment, tons of apps allow photos to be posted to Instagram. Think of all the photo-editing and filter apps. They all have a share to Instagram function.

Thank you for the suggestion. I now managed to get our Pinterest feed to IFTTT through RSS.
But Instagram has no possible Actions in IFTTT. Only Triggers. Now what? I'm determined to get this working!
aapje | 11 years ago | on: Testing a way for you to make purchases on Twitter
My main concern is security. When Twitter stores your payment information it will be easy to buy something with a single click. But I've seen way too many Twitter hacking going on when I look at friends' timelines. If tweets like 'How I lost 100 lbs in 3 months! Click > bit.ly/youwillbehacked' can be posted without too much effort, these same hackers could buy stuff for free by just hacking into your Twitter account.

Our Tamagotchi and Minecraft Avatars are asking the same thing. The Wreck it Ralph crew already know the answer.

Check out the Yahoo link I posted. Sums it all up.

I've been getting invites from friends to sign up at http://www.startmyripple.com/
I couldn't find info on the company or it's team. After some more research I found a post on Yahoo about it. I think this guy did a pretty good job explaining the possible dangers when you sign up:

Be warned.
