It's even worse on Android. The only supported browsers are Chrome and the native Android browser. I wouldn't be surprised if they get another fine from the EU over this.

It sounds like the hardware device is an SMTP server that sends the email itself directly over encrypted SMTP. So, what's the subscription for?

Yes, there's a standalone version of ASIO.

We can detect it, gravitationally. The Bullet cluster is pretty incontrovertible evidence that dark matter exists. It's detecting it through other interactions that's proving extremely difficult.

So do I. Specifically, I want to block the consent popovers and refuse consent for all but the necessary cookies and tracking. I think the EU missed a trick by not making Do Not Track legally enforceable.

This doesn't seem to be a coroutines proposal so much as an attempt to sneak (Haskell's) `do` notation into C++. Which I applaud, it's a brilliant feature.

Only if a court made a ruling on it.

Part of France is in the right timezone, and part isn't. It's Spain that's really crazy.

You can't change the number of daylight hours in a day by fiddling with your clocks. That's just impossible. All DST does is move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening.

You can turn on airplane mode, then turn Bluetooth on specifically.

It's an iffy example, since many people consider 'could care less' to be incorrect.

It's not "legal in 9 states", it's not prohibited by 9 states, but still prohibited federally.

And why does the UI language depend on which country's version you're visiting? It makes sense for the descriptions, but the UI is the same in all versions.

ArXiv does physics too. At least for particle physics, it's all there.

Put another way, monadic error handling really requires `do` notation.

The solution to China making the crazy decision to have a single timezone or DST being an unnecessary complication isn't to get rid of timezones, it's for everyone to use them properly (i.e. no DST, everyone uses the correct geogr

It's terrible for scheduling conference calls. Instead of just converting timezones, you have to remember what a reasonable time of day is in each locality. Or do you just expect Australia to adopt a nocturnal working pattern so they c

Of course they are. The first is about picking the correct case (this being one of the few words where English has cases) and the second is picking the right number (you being a special case since the second person is always plural in Engli

Perhaps you mean a careful, educated, adult speaker (by definition, since there's no governing body setting English grammatical rules). The term "native speaker" is ill-defined enough that there's no reason a native spea

If your usage means you are misunderstood, or it is harder to understand you, that's an error. Like as a filler makes speech harder to understand.

And as a side benefit you get secure WiFi at many (most in Europe) universities, teaching hospitals, city centers close to a university, etc.

People make grammatical mistakes all the time when speaking. E.g. inserting like everywhere.

Eth and thorn used to be used in English anyway. They were removed to make printing easier (the 'old timey' 'ye' for the is because of a practice of printing thorn as y).
