I've had no particular performance problems (well, nothing I couldn't live with), and recent versions have improved things in various areas. It doesn't look like this version has much in the way of performance enhancements, b

I've used it a couple of times (for School uniform for my kids, cheaper than Amazon), however Amazon have their pickup lockers closer to where I live, and with no (slow) human interaction (as at Tesco), it's normally a winner for

If I had $20bn to buy it in the first place, or be in the position where I could even raise that kind of capital, I would already be successful (in my mind at least).

It's not just VB. Any code in a program which parses any kind of data , including "passive" data like images, docs and even plain text, is vulnerable to bugs in it's own code. It's often not related to what the dat

I don't get these comments. I use Atom on my Chromebook (via Ubuntu/Crouton) and the other day I did a 9-hour stint switching between atom (~80% of the time) and Firefox, from full charge. At the end of the 9 hours I still had 8%

I think what he's doing would be more acurately described as Machine Learning, rather than AI. His algorithms are producing better logo proposals based on the data it is collecting from other users, which fits a common definition of ML

And I think, assuming its the same as many other EU countries, that means active consent, not just implicit (e.g. you used the product so you implicitly consented to the privacy policy)

The trouble with analysis like these is the lack of domain specific knowledge. For instance the author states that it is suspicious that some authorities inspect 100% of food businesses, speculating that new ones must take a while to appear
