I use it on iOS because its an easy solution for ad-blocking. Is there a good ad-blocker for Safari on iOS?

In my view, if platforms like YouTube/Twitter/Facebook are going to exercise editorial control over the content they host, they should be held fully responsible for all of the content that isn't taken down.
If these organizations don't want to be responsible for the content on their platforms, then they shouldn't censor content unless ordered to by a judge.
They want it both ways - full editorial control, but no responsibility.

People said the same thing when photo-editing software was new. How is this any different?

The sense of security that comes with keeping a gassed (or charged) vehicle in my driveway doesn't seem like it will go away any time soon. If a family member needs to go to the emergency room, or a natural disaster strikes, Uber isn't going to cut it.

i've used aim almost daily for almost the whole 20 years.
it is one of the first apps i set up when i get a new computer. when i get home for the day, one of the first things i do is to sign on and chat with my buddy list.
aim is a special piece of software to me and i am disappointed to see it go.

If you’re like me, you switched your default browser over to Chrome years ago and never looked back.
Why should I take browser advice from someone who doesn't pay attention? Especially someone who lauds the "simplicity" of Chrome...
I do love how fast Firefox 57 is though.

For me, reading and writing works, but I have major performance issues on /mnt/. `git status` for example is unreasonably slow on any directory under /mnt/.
I tried to adapt to this by instead of writing to the Windows file system from Linux; to instead write to the Linux file system from Windows. After corrupting my profile 3x and having to reinstall WSL each time, I went back to vagrant[1].
[1] vagrant is also really slow on Windows.

I think the problem with a total ban is just the sheer number of people with diagnoses. For example, I read recently that something like 6% of adults have ADHD (I don't have a source, correct me if that is way off). I personally wouldn't be surprised if the incidence was higher among young geeky types. And Adderall isn't even the only drug that these types of competitions should be worried about.
You can only ban so many people from competing without really starting to affect the potential number of players, which isn't something that private gaming-tournament organizations are going to want to do.

are there any popular sites that rely on Hello or Pocket to function?
A fresh grad is expect to be able to solve ~medium problems.
Someone with ~2 years of experience is expected to be able to solve ~hard problems.
Someone with 10 or 20 years of experience is still only expected to be able to solve ~hard problems.
The standards for a more experienced candidate are of course higher for other attributes: Leadership skills, communication skills, etc.
