Well it can certainly help the app to get a coarse location - if it matches an existing network fingerprint (when you visit back the same network or it was scanned by other user before). This is also why you need location permissions on And

There is a lot of talk about hydrogen in Slovakia - it's promoted by the head of Mistry of Trade and Industry (Richard Sulik), but not many actual steps towards hydrogen cars are being done so far.

You are really simplifying at how memories or the brain works - we (IT workers) tend to think of memories as just some information that can be written down, stored and replayed. But the mechanism is much more different. You would need the s

I don't even have a pre-wash compartment on my (not cheap) EU dishwasher. There is just a place for the tablet and then rinse aid (which I never used). And always get good results with quality tablets.

Sure, but for 0.15-0.20 Euro per tab you can get quality tabs. I buy "Jar Platinum" tabs in bulk and I have never had any issues with the quality of the wash and I have been using them for like 10 years daily.

Proprietary cassettes for dishwashing machines? That's next level. Also I don't get the advantage that you don't need to measure the detergent level, I have always used standard "all-in-one" tabs (1 tab = 1 wash) fo

Tesla cars are not interesting for many customers in EU (except maybe nordic countries), they will go with VW/Audi/BMW or other brands. You can't easily extrapolate the growth from US to EU or other parts of world.

Seismic detection can be too slow if the nearest sensor is too far - it can take several minutes to hit the nearest sensor, that's too late for strategic purposes where you may need to launch a counter-attack immediately.

I don't think so - or if they do, then the functionality won't be very effective. A lot of the most common attack vectors have never existed in iOS. Applications on iOS can't draw over other apps, you can't implement you
