I don't know about Germany specifically, but France has a way to obtain what they call a "vaccine equivalency health pass": https://www.sante.fr/how-to-obtain-a-french-health-pass I know there's a simila

That theory should be easy for someone from Serbia to check, by re-downloading their test results and seeing whether the ID changes.

I am not sure how this applies in Djokovic's case? He isn't claiming that there are errors (made by others) in any of the papers he has provided, or is he? P.S. But either way, of course it's he who is ultimately responsible

C'mon, we're all adults here (and so is he). The "dog ate my homework" defense doesn't really cut it among grown-ups.

Perhaps. I'll just point out that the wording I quoted is literally the first thing that the results page shows, in headline font. I don't often come to Amazon's defence, but here it's IMO a bit of a stretch to infer ma

I didn't design this UX, so can't be certain of the designer's intent. However, more charitable interpretations could be: 1. perhaps the user has accidentally chosen the wrong category? 2. perhaps the product they're loo

I too tried this (geolocated to Argentina) and cannot reproduce the behaviour. All the results I am seeing on the first couple of pages are relevant. P.S. Chrome, incognito window.

As a counterpoint to the "harder to clean" argument, I can offer the following. I've just been to Montreal, and with temperatures well below freezing and lots of recent snowfall, the segregated bike lanes were completely clea

I don't ask questions that can only be solved with some clever trick. In my experience, I get the most signal by posing a question that has many solutions of varying degrees of efficiency. This way anyone except the least qualified ca

Personally, I am not even sure that "ML vs non-ML" is a useful dichotomy. If method A can be rigorously demonstrated[*] to produce superior results to method B, does it even matter whether mathematically it is constructed out of

> In my experience, interviewers will rarely tell you the runtime of the optimal solution. I agree. As an interviewer, I genuinely want each candidate to do well and I think that, on balance, setting a specific complexity goal is likely

I think you're right: some sort of personalisation could well be contributing to the discrepancy. P.S. Driven by curiosity, I repeated my experiment from an incognito window and it yielded the same results. This time I looked at the r

That's very odd. I just typed "Soviet Ruble" into Google and every single result on the first page is about the Soviet, not modern Russian, currency[*]. This includes the box of images on the right-hand side, all of which d

That's a good tip. I too do this quite a lot; forums can be quite noisy but also a great source of first-hand experiences.

Sorry to hear you had to endure that. And £120 a week sounds like a rip-off. I remember paying just under £40 a week in Greater London at around the same time. The accommodation was pretty basic (a room in a hall of residence with shared

I'm not certain that's true either (if "Original Quality" is turned on[1]) but haven't tested it. That said, I personally only use Google Photos as a sharing site and do archiving offline. [1] https://sup

I don't believe the claim about EXIF location data is accurate -- please see my comment above.

This was surprising, so I just downloaded one of my photos from Google Photos[*] as a test. The downloaded JPEG absolutely has EXIF location metadata. [*] by pressing Shift+D
