If your plan for ensuring the continued wealth and competitiveness of your country and population relies on other countries not to develop, than possibly it's not a great plan.

You don't need necessarily to be using a specific service. You can configure your own OpenVPN server quite easily, and use the available vanilla client applications to connect to it.

Remote work can be intended also as in "you are at a customer facility and need to access the corporate intranet to get a document or access the SW repository".

"all the Ubers I've taken have notes taped up in the back stating the driver expects to be tipped (in cash)." It would annoy me to no end, and I would be surprised if Uber would have been cool with that before now.

I was in a very similar situation as you, graduated in EE but liking programming software much more. I found a very sweet spot in Embedded Systems programming, which by nature is more or less an intersection of the two disciplines.

Italian here. I don't know what your experience is, but I have to call bullshit. Such generic comments applying to an entire population should be best avoided. I have worked in Italian, British, American and Spanish engineering compani

I saw the link, but I thought your issue was with the 2/6 year thing. I still don't see any problem. Apple states that you get 1 year of "Apple" warranty, which allows you to get your product serviced by Apple, at no cos

Its use of a modal interface is one of the main reasons that, to this day, attract many developers to VIM. People "terrible at using modal interfaces" should just use another editor. The problem might lie in other applications ind

This is still one of the most fascinating writeups of Japanese business culture I have read, from fellow HNer patio11: http://www.kalzumeus.com/2014/11/07/doing-business-in-japan/

"For further information please contact the seller" It is kind of cheeky, since in most cases for Apple products, the seller is also Apple.

It is perfectly clear to me, in the very link you have posted: "This 2-year guarantee is your minimum right. National rules in your country may give you extra protection: however, any deviation from EU rules must always be in the consu

I have a lot more personal data points (anecdotes) with taxis than with Uber, so that's not really a fair comparison. But, some of my recent experiences with taxi have been (both in New York): - Asking at the airport for a Taxi where w

Try changing the timescale to 3 months or so for react, you get a nearly perfect pulse wave with peaks on weekdays and valleys on the weekends. The same happens with Javascript, Java and I guess most (popular) programming languages; it migh

In this case we are not really talking about a free consumer product, though. I would be surprised if Toronto's municipality would grant this development without having some guarantees of it being carried out, save for paying severe pe

WeChat is an application, not an Operating System. The point it is that is so widely used in China that the OS it runs on is basically indifferent to the user, since he will spend most of his time in the app itself, which replaces/supp

Fair point. As long as your most used apps area available on more platforms, and those are more or less equal in terms of features/performance/usability, on which platform they run it shouldn't make a big difference. The auth

It is definitely possible in some countries/companies. Using "EU" as a blanket term is misleading, as always.

I thought the whole point of multi-factor authentication is to reduce the risk of breach by having different unrelated means of authentication, each of which is assumed not fully secure. Wouldn't acquiring the 1st factor access (say, n

Off topic, but such a crass title makes me instantly disinterested in whatever the article has to say, even if I'm likely to agree with its content. Is this really the new normal for websites ?

But I think that's really the point. Criticism of Soylent seems to be due to factors that go beyond a reasonable critical assessment of the product, and tends to be much harsher in form. I think many people tend to assume that just bec

Soylent does nothing for me because I find that any other viable option for eating, be it a sandwich from a vending machine, is a more attractive. Even low quality food is likely to give me a modicum of satisfaction, when a meal replacement

Agreed. It's pretty much a "Tragedy of the Commons" scenario, IMHO.

I find mind boggling the amount of games that have been released only in Japan. Even series popular in the West like Final Fantasy, Shin Megami Tensei, Ace Attorney, Fire Emblem have had Japan-only releases, I cannot even imagine how many l

Keeping a battery pack charged is useful when you forget charging it, but it really shouldn't be something that you are required to use on a regular basis just to make it last throughout the day. It makes little sense to make a phone a

I'm quite happy with my Moto G4 plus, it lasts me easily a couple of days, with a light/medium usage.
