The biggest risk I see with using your API vs implementing a native API is the native API's are unlikely to shutdown in the next few years. It seems very risky from my perspective to use a third-party API which may go down leaving me t

Be sure to use 2FA on TeamViewer. 3 months ago accounts were bruteforced and thousands of PC's were hacked as a result of guessing the one-time-user-password (4-digits). TeamViewers response was to bury their head in the sand until Ars

Victor Vekselberg is the individual that made this happen, he's very close with the PM. He's also the head of the Renova Group who are Russian government backed who had the power to choose the supplier. Originally the plan was to

What would be the reasons for denying such a request? Must be either a group who is still under investigation, or a group of LEO's, right?

I don't believe the leaked document indicated government agents or personnel planned to kill leaders via suppressed sniper fire. You're talking about page 61 of this document I assume? http://www.justiceonline.org/

Given the proper age, teaching kids to use syringe/vials or having a school nurse that can administer epinephrine would be a much cheaper alternative. EpiPens are purely about the delivery mechanism. Stabbing a syringe into your thigh

I assume they intramuscularly inject epinephrine just as you would with an EpiPen. I doubt it'd be hard for patients to get hold of an epinephrine kit. You'll also find developing countries have far less allergic population. It&#x

I was kind of disgusted with these initial comments, did not expect it to be so supported in this community. If the company was OK with this, I'm glad they allowed an employee to be open, honest and personal about their comments regard
