That's still split testing of the messaging... in that one message gives different information about their services than the other. Different information being leaving out the free option. Clearly they wanted to see if a higher % signe

Yeah... I would be up for trying it (if they now or in the future allow European customers), and could imagine liking it enough to be willing to put in $1000 to last me a while, but not without trying it for a few $10s first. Maybe they are

Typically cards with extra features either (at the low end) charge a monthly fee or (at the higher end) have minimum requirements such as a minimum net worth for the holder or a minimum monthly or annual spend through it. Lower end would no

What about for people who don't live in the US?

You don't have to use them all the time, though... there's plenty of things I couldn't afford to do all the time but sometimes it's worth paying extra for, a service like this could be one of them. If something urgent co

What I'm about to write is about the extent of my knowledge on the subject, so don't assume I know more that justifies my thinking: CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) has has been shown it can be effective even if done with comput

There's plenty of private companies working on national-security level stuff, if the US Government is willing to buy, say, weapons from X company then why not license them patents to do it with?

Hmm, my thinking was that Tor browser would randomly pick a size, but maybe it only has a certain number of options to make sure every user crosses with plenty of other users too? In which case resizing of any sort would make you more uniqu

Resizing it isn't a problem. It doesn't open at a magically untrackable size, the point of this advice is that if you are fullscreen you will be the same size always and therefore potentially trackable between sessions, if you are

On-demand elements of iPlayer don't need a license, watching live channels on iPlayer does however. Also the case with non-BBC servies such as ITV Player, 4OD, etc.

"Including the British Isles" doesn't have to mean "all of the British Isles", it can be parsed equally as "Including the ones in the British Isles. For example, "Including the European countries, I have b

No... the FAQ wording would still be accurate even if the Queen does include "Ireland" in "British Isles". It therefore offers no reason to think she doesn't.

by corin_ 11y ago
That FAQ answer doesn't mean Ireland is not in the British Isles. And you're wrong that Ireland is not in the British Isles.

Nobody is accusing Britain of creating the problem, just of letting it kill far more people than it could have.

It's cause for celebration as better than many expected to happen, but for sure many reasons to still be both skeptical about implementation and the results even if targets are hit. It's progress, at least.

In theory the UK has that with the BBC (albeit more than "a news channel" is included, and albeit that it's funded by a separate license fee), the problem is you still have ways for the Government to pressure an independant o

Your example of plastic surgery is definitively not genetic modification. Just modification.

Personally the shows suited my political views, but I definitely always saw how they could be much less fun to watch for other people. An interesting quote from the same Sorkin interview [1] I mentioned before: Question: 'Will’s take

by corin_ 11y ago
Have you seen Aaron Sorkin's most recent TV show, The Newsroom? It's mostly left-leaning (by American standards, at least) so you may not like it (apologies if I've mis-judged your political stance..), but personally I though

Plenty of people don't like tofu - I hate it, personally - yet love meat. Admitedly, I didn't exactly enjoy the few insects I've tried eating, either.. but what's wrong with having more options for cheap and sustainable

Addiction is generally defined as not being able to stop an activity that rewards you in someway despite the consequences. With drugs like heroin it's important to note the difference between chemical dependance and addiction. Chemical

Not directly related to the article but just to the topic: one of the biggest things for me to get used to when I moved from the UK to France earlier this year is the lack of sarcasm used/understood by French people. There's a cou

If a tumbler is used by 1 person, they get their own coins back. To work, it needs as many users as possible. Therefore a researcher doesn't scan transactions looking for "possible tumbling", they look for the tumblers, use t

I haven't tried Soylent, and I probably do like food too much to try it, but there are days when I'll take a lunch break without eating, and enjoy the break part none the less. Go for a cycle, or a walk, or go sit outside a café w

Personally I wouldn't always check the byline of an article, so were it not for the pictures I'd have appreciated it being pointed out to me :)

I disagree; Interviews range from full conversations to simple questions and answers, "FAQ" on the other hand implies many people asking the same questions, not a single interviewer asking them.

I wonder what data Apple have on who will be affected by things like this, how many will upgrade their PC, how many will put off buying a phone, how many will leave Apple behind, and how those things balance out to impact their profits. I i

Given it's not even in reference to terrorist attacks, I don't find it in any way offensive personally. And I was pretty shaken up by how close to me the Paris attacks were.
