I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm pointing out that querying a RESTful page with any of the C, R or U parts of the CRUD process would involve transacting information, so you basically need to keep it as HTTP. And that's why i

Define information, since information traditionally is just the meaningful analysis of some data.

Holy crap that is a bureaucratic nightmare. Why does encryption even need to be registered in the first place? I don't see any point beyond the holdover of 'encryption is munitions' which is a pile of crap in the first place.

To be fair, replying on the platform he owns is a fairly significant value-add process.

My anecdotal experience from using steam for about 12 years is not this at all, excepting that it launches on boot and you can trivially turn that off in the settings. It uses bandwidth only so much as to download updates for games and you

Steam has numerous competitors but by being the first major player they carry a huge inertial advantage. Having a huge library of games is a REALLY big incentive for people to stay there. I've been thinking about it and honestly the on

My partner died 3 months ago, presumably due to complications of a tonic-clonic seizure. She was in the room next to me with a door closed because she was feeling unwell with a headache for the two days prior and so was dozing in bed. I was

They'll stop doing it only if the tax exceeds the profit. No one turns down profit just because it's less profit than before.

Yes, that's always been the case as I understand. The fusion stage is to get the bomb to do its exploding thing before it propels itself apart and thus just scatters debris everywhere.

Try again without the facetiousness. I don't mean like a piece of paper saying 'thou shalt'. I mean by implementing systems where, by design, the decisionmakers over roles that police each other have no way to influence one a

1) Societies (all around the world) tend to be more racially driven than we like to admit. It's really easy to ignore the suffering of a group of people if you are readily able to distance yourself from them. Race plays a significant r

You've just described the difference between the two for me. Favouriting a tweet implied that I wanted to reference back to it later, whereas liking a tweet to me conveys that I don't really care to come back to it later but I w

Apple are using precision optics to select the parts with the right machining tolerances to fit together to minimise interface issues. Those parts are machined to very tight tolerances in comparison to a car. I feel like you're trivial

How do you think cars are made? edit: I'm not suggesting you're wrong in saying that the premise of the article is bad, but I'm surprised by your argument between phones and cars.

The clone-stamped buildings look totally surreal to me. I know why they do it and it makes sense, but the overwhelming majority of Western cities, which grow organically over many decades/centuries, never end up with repeated buildings

I've noticed more software bugs in the last couple of iOS releases than previously. Sometimes the top status bar (time, battery, rotation lock/silence symbols, etc.) will disappear, fail to change colour, etc. Sometimes apps think

I, too, am hanging out for the 7 series to see if they refresh the 4" display. I completely agree with you that I prefer to use my phone one-handed and the shift-the-screen-down hack that the larger idevices use is really a bad solutio

This is all I'd do. Shit inside walls is likely never going to be disturbed, so a face mask + gloves + dustpan and brush would get me through cleaning up the spill. But then again, I have a generally lax regard for life and limb. The w

I would honestly prefer to watch an F1 competition where we get to watch all the back-room engineering and support infrastructure than the actual F1 car on the track itself. I've always been a fair-weather F1 watcher, but I'd real

Can confirm, had to do this once only and I hated it. Got in to the next town and put 65.4L into my 65L tank. Never again. It didn't help that the service station I had hoped to reach when I started getting low was shut because they ha

The iPhone logging in all over the US sounds like it's probably the cause. The account may well have been shuttered for being a conduit of fraud or the like and thus the account got canned. It'll be interesting to hear any follow-

This is pretty much it. Our universities are generally fairly first-rate on a world scale, but we don't have the same information economy that other nations have. You see it often in our medical research where we punch far above our we

Just to expand on this (pun intended), a sound wave is just a change in the local pressure of the fluid it's going through. The rapid and sudden pressure drop across the leading edge of the shock wave causes vapour in the air to conden

In Australia, Uber guarantees a minimum wage in line with federal requirements (i.e.: if your fares earn you less than the minimum, they cover the difference). This is voided if you don't pick up something like 90% of your offered fare
