How are documents that can directly lead to the identity theft of people not a privacy issue?

Hey wow it's Simon Hackett [1]. I wouldn't be surprised if he did this for free - he's always been a big supporter. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Hackett

The realtime ingestion is interesting especially if I can still batch import. When processing machine data, I've found that a quantity of sources come in chunks (logfiles written out every 24 hours for exmaple) but the eventual aim is

Fair enough, though you could revert back to a new 5S and be no worse off. It's a bit sluggish here and there but I'm typing this post on one and it's still my only phone and holds up for 95% of tasks.

To elaborate since I'm apparently being downvoted and can't edit: In Australia, which I'm assuming the parent is part of since they specified AUD$1400, Apple specifically allows for a 14 day return policy [1]. You could drop

Dare I ask why I'm being downvoted? As far as I can tell, [1] suggests that there's additional hardware involved in the screen to make 3D touch work. Is it that this hardware exists but just isn't being used? Is it that peopl

by NamTaf 11y ago
I don't understand why everyone is ignoring the simple answer that no 3D touch is simply a result of the same 5S screen being used? Presumably 3D touch requires a haptic layer on the screen so if that's not present, it can't

Why is it the customer's and reseller's responsibility to determine if a manufacturer has properly licensed some patent/trademark/etc.?

by NamTaf 11y ago
It's cute that you think a counterfeit manufacturer gives a damn about US law. If they're designing potentially unsafe equipment, I promise you that trademark law wouldn't warrant a first thought, let alone a second.

Of course it's a joke. This is the programming equivalent of some of the research that wins Ig Nobels.

My guess is an architecture change that allows more of the 'shared' resources to be used by a single core rather than rigidly enforcing a subdivision of the resources between each core. Sort of like if you had 2MB of cache per cor

I completely agree that it's not singular throughout their culture (specifically w.r.t the taxation issues you raise), but I would not be surprised if in an alternate universe where Jobs etc. didn't care about that stuff, Apple ju

It's just his particular way of phrasing the concept of playing against the opponent and the game. Sort of like with poker, whereby you play not only against the cards on the table but also the minds of your opponents, knowing what the

I'm not entirely sure the 1984 ad / counterculture / 'question authority' ethos is baked into other major smartphone companies quite like it is with Apple. I don't get the feeling that we would've seen the

I've often felt upset about knowing that the US people have many good traits, but the US Government is frankly scary and that I would love to visit the US people but would hate to interact with the US Government by doing so. To this

They can be if they're serious enough. Planes and trains carry enough people/other stuff to usually warrant the independent investigator to step in. Buses are sort of there. Cars aren't. You can either have a good team of peo

Reddit has a pretty robust sale of windows licenses for $15-25 and then you can upgrade them from 7 to 10 if you want to go cheaper. edit: I don't necessarily know about their legitimacy, and I've never used them myself.

Saying 'if you are then I am obliged to have you taken to a psych ward' is incredibly threatening to people who need that supervision and can drive them to lie. This is why they ask the way they do.

It's a 95% Australia tax. We pay more for almost everything just because. It was originally justified by our exchange rates (which got down into the AUD$1 = USD$0.5x) but persisted at the same dollar values even when the rate went to A

I used web.py to do a similar process about 1.5 years ago. In that, I mapped the GET and POST elements to functions which then did whatever I needed them to do. This makes it even easier and I see it having a good fit in hacking up PoC APIs
