Minor quibble but in case anyone wonders like I did, the cases for units are mostly backwards. When he writes "Kb", he means "kB" (I looked at the size of the homepage, which is 10kB). For anyone wondering what I'm

Thanks! That's the kind of imagery I'm looking for but not the resolution. I should have made it clearer but what I'm looking for is images with resolution like in this article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/

A little off topic but are you aware of anywhere that provides high resolution night-time imagery? So far I've only been able to find a little from Himawari-8.

In that case though, why claim to be "decentralized"? That to me means one large, interconnected network, which one can access through any of its members. Mastodon is decentralized; you can make an account on any server and search

I think to be able to say you're a "decentralized alternative to YouTube, Flickr, SoundCloud", you really need some way to search across all the servers in the network or at least interact with them and as far as I can tell,

Held as ETFs? Assuming it's in big ones like VOO, they can see $400M turnover in a business day, so if you're not picky about getting the best fill price and just sell at the bid, you should be able to do it within a minute or two

Because nobody else has asked, when you say "cold, hard cash", do you mean that literally? As in a case full of physical greenback?

That and the 1500 EUR price. Can you imagine spending 2-3 large, high quality TVs worth of money and leaving it on the counter? Don't know how practical it is but a cool extension would be to mount it on a movable mount on the ceiling

It's very interesting but the title seems a little hyperbolic as there are numerous caveats (from the "About" section): - "Note that the security benefits of hardbin only apply when accessing it over a local (or otherwis

The maximum current penalty is 4% of worldwide turnover. I imagine that if it becomes clear that isn't enough to force compliance, legislation can be passed to raise the penalty.

That "desire to respect people's privacy" isn't just some form of benevolent corporate altruism though, it's also a legal agreement between Google and its users and something that's closely watched by regulator

If it was a "screaming deal" for developers, it'd be popular based on merit alone and Apple wouldn't need to disallow other payment methods, yet they do.

As someone with a spouse from a "high risk" country, they want you to show a pile of evidence that tells them you're going to go back home before your visa expires. Some examples: Close family back home, a job or school back

AAC has widespread support, Opus does not. Unless you know what you're doing (have to use the Ogg container and a .ogg extension and use Android >= 6.0), you can't fill an Android device with Opus files and play them back like

Ah, I just used 720h :) And that's fair enough, I understand dedicated/shared are very different things, it's just that for me, right now, Spanner isn't viable. Change that and you'll be a whole lot more appealing!

I don't know where the $9/month number comes from but as someone else said, I edited my post (added a bunch of things) so maybe I edited out something that could be read that way. Basically yes, I'd like a shared Spanner. If

They don't appear to document this, save that they handle 10k QPS read or 2k QPS write and can deal with 2TiB of data. They also recommend that you have 3 of them: https://cloud.google.com/spanner/docs/instanc

Which ISP and where is the latency though? It could be that your ISP has congestion on NBN but not on ADSL2+? Not necessarily the NBN's fault.

Just look at the streets of San Francisco. Despite all that money, there are still plenty of people who don't get what they need. That's why they're blamed.
