In Australia it's not uncommon to see restaurants with "Sorry - No Split Bills" signs up at the cash register. It's also not that uncommon to see the staff let you split the bill anyway on a case-by-case basis...

I don't know about their verifcation strategy, but https://www.coolearth.org/ is along these lines.

Wow, that's seriously disappointing. As of recently, I have a mixed 1920x1200 and 4K setup on my home desktop, and 1920x1200 + 2560x1440 setup on my work laptop. I was very interested in what I'd heard about Wayland supporting p

Well, VHDL was heavily inspired by Ada, given they both came out of DoD contracts around the same time...

No-shows are way more common than most people think, especially given the proportion of frequent flyers who are regularly flying for business and regularly buying flexible tickets.

Hmm, Electronic Flight Bags are now a regulator-approved thing for manuals/other paper products.

At my employer, we did some internal work on "compiling" - i.e. installing (including compiling any native extensions) and running test suites - on the entire Python, Ruby and NPM ecosystems. Conference talk: https://ww

I'd like to see some kind of client that combines a Slack-like real-time communications tool with an email client. I don't know what I'd actually like this client to do, but I feel like there would be room for some interestin

So, this isn't access to patient records as such - it's merely access from a name to a Medicare number. Additionally, how exactly are you going to get the patient to give permission beforehand? Patients will expect to walk into a

My guess, based on what's publicly available, is that this incident is quite possibly just a set of stolen or misused creds for a fairly widely available Medicare card lookup database used by doctors. In which case, this is less of a &

Pretty sure NFC transactions are "offline", i.e. the round trip to the bank happens after the card has left the reader.

The grsecurity team does have some valid criticisms of the upstream community, and of course they've done some brilliant technical work, but spender is unfortunately a pretty toxic community member who puts many upstream kernel devs to

As an Australian - I thought Uber's main appeal here was price. The taxi product experience, from everything I've heard, is far worse in the US than here.

That's a mistake that I would hope an HR systems business would be able to avoid when it comes to their own employees...

That's really something that needs to be driven from upstream - you can't really add syscalls in distro patches.
