you're are right, I was a bit unclear. I guess I just feel I can trust Google more. Sure Google will take my data and deliver me targeted adverts, share it in some sort of aggregate form with partners and possibly use it to learn more

I have absolutely no doubt there is some data centre in Shenzhen full of my Huawei phone metrics! I think this is the biggest issue with android phones, they are full of potential data leakages like this. Privacy is definitely a concern an

There seems to be way too much easy money available these days. The ability for a boring, not very innovative startup to attract 9 figures of investment without the need to ever deliver a viable product or service is worrying for the indust

This is an interesting article, I've thought about this before but never had the words or knowledge of network theory to express it correctly. Thanks.

Fair point alright, I guess I was thinking more about the youth population, if you had a 12 year old arriving from Syria with their mother, there is a very real chance that kid has had little or no formal education due to the disruption of

I feel once people who know nothing about an asset start 'investing' in it, the likelihood of the whole thing coming crashing down only increases. People not knowing what they are doing, or why they are doing, is a surefire way to

I dunno, I imagine more refugees are illiterate than have app development skills. These efforts may be useful further down the line, when you are trying to build community and sense of progress, but when a mother and child are sleeping in a

I definitely agree with this, there seem to be an aversion to giving people money directly. I guess this comes from a sense of knowing better, most people feel they know how to better look after people rather than letting others define and

Do something multidisciplinary like GIS, you'll learn all the interesting geography bits as well as working with spatial data. It's an interesting field and the technology is becoming increasingly relevant.

I'm going to get all spacey here, but if it crashes and creates nothing, is that nothing itself art? Or is the coder and the computer working together in the plan to create auto-generated art, actually the work of art. I think with art

I'd advise you keep a decision diary and a log of all interactions on the subject you have with your boss and colleagues. Even if they are just casual discussions, don't force anything. It's just good to have an honest (no po

Maybe I am being a bit harsh on them, but I can't say I've had a good experience with them or that they are good at projecting a positive image. Numerous times I had my house burgled or bicycle stolen and they were so damn listles

The Irish police force is centralised, and thankfully unarmed. They are generally oafs who have no insight or intelligence. You basically can only before uni/college, so no degree expected ever, and they are known for general uselessn

I guess the counter could be, they are a company that is predominantly engineering focused, they have a good understanding of what it takes to make a customer product that is widely approved of. Coupled with a ton of money, it's in a

I really liked the style of this article, it explained things that are very technical in a way that someone with moderate knowledge of the concepts can grasp. Hats off to the author!
