I feel like I'm burning money renting in London right now. I tried renting somewhere really cheap to save money for a deposit but it made me miserable. Now I spend a lot more and only have to share with one person but I can't save

I've been thinking a lot about online communities since I listened to "So you've been publicly shamed" by Jon Ronson [0]. I quite like twitter just now but I don't follow many people and nobody follows me. I often s

Separate to the risks of investing, what are the risks of actually using Mondo as a bank? I really like the idea but can't shake the worry of a huge financial loss is it actually possible?

What I can't seem to teach my project manager is that the App Store review process takes as long as it takes and other app store restrictions.

I'm not comparing the technology. I'm comparing what a gamer can do with that money.

In the UK it's basically the cost of an Xbox One and PS4 together. I wonder if PC gamers would prefer one of those consoles for the exclusives.

I understand that a huge percentage of podcast listeners are based in the US but the number of hours I've spent listening to completely irrelevant adverts is insane. Surely someone can make a service that takes a podcast feed and packa

I was thinking about doing this with TeamCity (I don't trust myself to get security settings right with Jenkins). I'm worried that Apple will just shut it down though. Also does anyone have any recommendations for hosting stuff li

"the astronauts chosen to make at least the initial forays into deep space may have to accept a higher level of risk than those who fly International Space Station missions." Is this surprising to anyone? It's a far greater

I imagine the trouble with that is the weight and associated costs of getting that weight into space.

Was the purpose of the cannon to take down other satellites or just for research purposes? Presumably whilst this appears to be a weapon with a considerable range, satellites don't operate that close to each other? The mathematics to c

Whilst at the core this is the same as Safari and Chrome for iOS being able to sync bookmarks and history is a big deal for me. Will Apple ever allow a different rendering engine?

What is the best way for me as a UK citizen to try and fight this? Just keep donating to the EFF? Talk to my local MP?

If I worked at Apple I'd have made a Qi charging mouse mat. It can charge the new keyboard, the new mouse and the new trackpad. It can also charge the new iphone and ipad. Now your table can be as clear as the ones that appear in the a

Based on your username it seems possible to me you're a fan of the TV show MR Robot as the main character has a fish called QWERTY. The main character Elliot suffers from anxiety, depression, insomnia and mania. I would consider that

Even if we are being double charged perhaps it's worth it. If the BBC makes enough money selling content to other distributors it can use it to fund new content.

I don't think they do create a lot of the programming, I thought they mostly licensed it from production companies. I can't find stats on it. Can anyone else?

I don't understand what you mean either. The BBC had to protect the content they were delivering or content creators likely wouldn't allow it on the service. Presumably they shut down RTMP streams because open source clients were

As Synaesthesia notes, it was. I meant with processes and tools like the post describes building once sound like a good idea...

Very interesting, even as a fan of native apps I can see the thought process behind doing it web based when you have to build so many tools for each platform.

I can't imagine Apple doing a Q&A like this 3 years ago.

Is there a demo of the "Exit Intent Technology". Is it only tracking whether the user is going to the top left to go back or doing something cleverer? Surely it can't help if the user uses a keyboard shortcut, backwards swipe

So has VW taken advantage of the time given to them by the courts to release fixed transponders in new vehicles and slowly replace the current defective ones as part of a routine service? Otherwise they've just delayed the information

I imagine it's possible there is age discrimination at Google but I doubt it contributed in this case. Why would Google have contacted her multiple times if age had been a problem before? Like the rest of us she's not getting any

Hasn't started working for me yet. Might try removing the fastmail account and adding it again so I can get the push option. Really happy this has been implemented.

The author notes this in the post. I wrote Carmack a message which apparently had the subject line "Doom diddly doom!" and said something like, hey, since you wrote this game on NEXTSTEP but don't want to waste your time tun
