My bank, Raiffaisen, has provided immediate support via the built-in chat on their website. Moreover, I'm a foreigner where the branch I utilize is based, and they had native support in English. Chat can be done right, and Raiffaisen d

I think the main thrust is that the tool is not fit for purpose, but Google benefits from it anyways. They get the AI training data, but the website owners still get hammered by bots, and privacy conscious users and users who have the audac

In fact there is no duty to challenge. You can search the USPTO documents up and down and this is not considered during trademark disputes. It generally is a good idea, but whether you as a trademark owner prevent dilution or not is not you

Just taking a stab here but I think the idea behind automation is that the automation itself is more cost effective than the human resources, and in turn, yields the same or better results. Thus the human resource pool becomes inefficient w

I was going to comment the same; I lived in Tacoma and committed to Seattle for 4 years, and it was incredibly convenient, even with the traffic on I5. The seattle-tacoma route had more frequent intervals than the local Tacoma busses did an

Exactly. You could upload an image for custom printing, with no sanity check as to what the image was, and it would be available for others to access as well, resulting in a semi-permanent link to hentai, porn, and extreme profanity. I imag

The actual Court Opinion misrepresented the actual block option. When YikYak was actually running, a proper block request could be sent to the company to blackout the GPS coordinates of a University from the app, effectively killing the loc

This is a misunderstanding of the actual complaint from the plaintiff, and it likely comes from the very misleading article title from Reason.com: I posted this below, but: The complaint is not that YikYak wasn't blocked -- it's t

Again, I believe you are misunderstanding the situation and creating an argument based on a misleading headline from the Think Tank that was sourced for the article. The complaint is not that YikYak wasn't blocked -- it's that no

I think the downvotes are because the GP makes a sweeping generalization to conclude and makes it seem as if the auto-pilot was the only reason the man survived. Based on the report and the description of how Tesla's auto-pilot functio

This is a tricky subject, imo, because even if Apple is just being money grubbing, there is a positive outlook on this. Finding reliable 3rd party parts for Apple products, even without Apple's meddling, is like cartwheeling through a
