CDMA phones (notably, 3G Sprint US, 3G Bell Canada, 3G Telus Canada) couldn't simultaneously use data (say, Google Maps) and voice. GPS lat/long would work fine, but you won't be able to download turn-by-turn directions or ma

The primary advantage of this pattern is it allows you to use different authentication mechanisms on a per-user basis. For example, for convenience, you may want to allow some users to sign in with a single non-password factor, like a F

Frankly, I think we're seeing the results of the new era of Python paradox. Except it's not Python 3, it's TypeScript, VS Code, and React. If you look at the education space, many of the deployments are either Chromebooks or

From what I've heard of Stripe, this is a non-issue for them. Like Google/Facebook, their brand and compensation are strong enough that they have enough candidates at the top of the funnel. Plus they have specialized processes to

I disagree with your assertion that "Strongly connecting dating with IRL identity is basically mandatory for safety." Strongly connecting anything with your IRL identity is a recipe for doxxing and stalking. I think Facebook'

The way I see it, the problem is that people think women need skills to qualify for jobs in the first place. As a man, many of my first jobs I got simply because the boss thought I was a promising PFY and was convinced I'd learn everyt

There are still plenty of options if you "just want to be able to create albums and put photos in them". Facebook, Apple Photos, Microsoft OneDrive, Google Photos and Unsplash all do this, with varying trade-offs of cost, quality,

It didn't work very well for Ubuntu Phone, either. Spinning a device requires a lot of money, and the folks who want a unified device aren't exactly willing to drop $1000 on a phone and $300 on the dock/adapter to connect it

I imagine we'll need pretty substantial upgrades to our electrical grid if we want electrical charging to be ubiquitous. A typical home peaks at 15-30 kW, whereas a single DC fast charger can use as much as 62 kW or 500 kW. Even a L2 c

It is trivial to secure a system by powering it off and disconnecting it from the Internet. That also makes said system useless for getting work done. Many people do not care about security at all; they just care that it "works".

There are lots of options to mitigate this. You can take them out of the accelerated/gifted program and put them back on the "normal" university track in high school. The big risk is that it will cause your kid to get alienat

I would expect the confounding variable in this study to be peer pressure. If your peers can pressure you into drinking alcohol or using marijuana, they probably peer pressure you into staying up late -- to do the aforementioned activities.
