The EC asked FB if it was possible to link accounts from Whatsapp to FB in 2014. They said no, knowing full well that the answer was yes. The EC did the merger evaluation with the assumption that they could. In 2016 FB announced they were l

Be very careful here. The developer may not have used TLS BUT any failed authorisation attempts are also counted in the bandwidth. So a bot net could absolutely wreck your credit card by just repeatedly trying to access your API with invali

I think the interesting thing here is that I suspect many practitioners of martial arts take the 'art' very very seriously treating combat as an eloquent dance. MMA is a style that takes all the deadliest aspects of multiple marti

I think the title is slightly wrong. "Why is React better than plain JavaScript DOM manipulation?" might be a better title. I was hoping for a more indepth analysis of industry trends around different JS UI frameworks.

I think the more interesting work I did was around the 20 min walk/20min cycle and the numbers of people still driving those distances. In London 164,079 within 20 minute walk, 584,749 within 20 minute cycle out of a total of 1,097,173

I did some work using Census 2011 data and created league tables for modes of transport across England and Wales. 56% of London residents commute to work by public transport. Next highest is Manchester at 31%. Unsure where that stands withi

I would go further than this. If a task would take less than 5 minutes, do that task now. Do not put it off. Seriously, just DO IT. It saves you so much time and hassle down the line.

Let's be clear, CARB and the EPA would have completely missed this. It was specifically the work by the students. I do wonder if it was pot luck they got hold of a VW Jetta. In the EU you have a similar cover up going on around diesel

Android enables you to install apps from 3rd party stores and specifically warns people about being careful about doing this. It is not so much that Android has more exploits, but that it is more exploitable if you choose it to be.

If you want a real workout (and I do this on my way home from work sometimes) I turn down/off the assist and you're suddenly cycling a 20+kg bike up a hill.

In the UK you can drink and ride an eBike ;) However the key is that cycle paths are legally off limits to mopeds (in the UK). You'll also find parking a lot easier with a eBike.

Do the buses let you take fold-ups on to them? Can easily get mine onto buses and trains in the UK.

Pollution in the UK is measured using NOx, PPM10, and PPM2.5 Pollution from brake and tyre particles is something that will not be tackled. I do think the key is lack of choice. People feel, given the design of our roads, that they have no

I've always thought there is no such thing as the wrong weather, just the wrong clothes ;) In all seriousness, an eBike lets me get anywhere I need to in 20 minutes or so. As long as I wear a rain coat, only the front of my trousers ge

One other consideration to make, once EVs dominate the road space, in many countries, significant levels of tax revenue are generated through petrol receipts. This will no longer be the case and will probably require a move to road pricing.

More interestingly is that the EV does not help solve congestion. They take up the same space as an ICEV. Raleigh now sell more electric bikes than normal bikes. That's where the real 'revolution' is occurring. If you live in

The tutorial is really useful http://www.cyclinguk.org/guide/make-tube-map-cycle-network but it does use the colour scheme before I switched to something that matches IAN 195 http://www.standardsforhighways.
