You don't need a strict ban for this to work either. Maybe just an end-user warning if distance < N and the relative popularity of the two modules is very high. You could also allow users or organizations to explicitly whitelist som

I find the extension rather unreliable actually. There are a lot of sites (e.g. Twitter embeds) where turning off autoplay also seems to break manually clicking play as well (forcing me to temporarily disabled the extension and reload page)

It's doubtful Facebook actually has any relevant patents to license (or revoke a license for) though. OCaml and JS themselves act as prior art for any conceivable thing you would patent for Reason. Remember that copyright and patent la

Are there any ML-as-a-service platforms that offers something comparable to what Uber has here? And importantly, do you actually like using them? That is, suppose I'm willing to do the following: * Send said service a firehose of data

I worked as a lawyer on a Microsoft acquisition once. We had once a week 40-person conference calls for status updates. The company being acquired had a total of 9 employees I think. The calls were scheduled for an hour. But, with 40 people

I'm a little surprised the military divorce rate is so low. With the long periods of separation, I'd expect it to be higher.

What about religion? Religion is, strictly speaking, mutable. But, for me at least, saying "no Muslims" or "no Sikhs" is the same level of badness as saying "no blacks".

As pointed out before, Facebook's license only terminates with respect to patents (not copyright) if you sue them for patent infringement. So ... given that, the important question is what are the actual patents that cover React? Here&

You can improve upon this by giving everyone VR headsets to shut out visual noise. You'll still need to come into the office though. Face time is important.

You can be in both metro areas for the same job even. My wife works for Adobe. She spends half her time in SF and half her time in San Jose, depending on whom she needs to work with on any given day.

Another point worth considering: even if your site or app does require user accounts (and this is not a given), that's not the same as requiring a password login. For each user, just store a unique token and secret in local storage.
