Yep, all you need to know is the IP addresses of certain domains (say Facebook) and then look for user IP transferring a lot of data to it meaning they are probably uploading a photo. Now tie that IP to an ISP and maybe a user and you can f

Being snarky I would ask you how is that working out for you? I bet on the call your replies are short. So just reverse the order: make your emails short and to the point with the abstract of your reasoning behind it. End with you can disc

I would change “save face” to more like empathize with the other person. Discover why some choices were taken. Nearly most decisions that seem wrong were taken due to time constraints. Something had to get out the door. Software can be patc

I think that is literally survivorship bias.

I liked to say “HL7, standard?” As more of a question.

If you are on an iPhone (maybe any Safari browser?) clicking on the top left reader button makes it legible.

Maybe if Facebook put this new fangled thing called a “hyperlink” in their post there would be some context. So instead the article just says something about “we ran some tests”. That could mean anything. Did anyone proofread this?

Well it is “civic” in the sense as defined by the Chinese government which means stable or not changing at a fast pace.

Landlord splitting a cost with the renter? I about spit my coffee out. While that’s true with residential housing (where the landlord pays all of the bill) it is not at all like that in commercial real estate. I’ve worked at a number of st

I’ve always had employers pay out PTO in WA except for my last one, but they did give me some severance ... but I know they don’t pay it out as a rule. I’ve heard that in the retail sector it is somewhat common not to pay out. That to me i

Post some particulars then. Maybe not of your terms but something like it to see how to reduce the payment and cut the term in half.

In Seattle the taxis usually gather at designated pickup spots, in fact I think there's a law about them only being able to pick up from there or if they are called vs hailing from the street. In the past I've helped tourists by d

Do you also rail against "wireless" phones as there's wires involved somewhere? It is called serverless as in the ideal state you let the scaling of the server be handled by someone else. Just like with cell phones you only c

"Earning the interest rate" is the key phrase here. With that and paying 2% in fees Amazon is leaving money on the table. Why not become the next Citi?

Next stop: Amazon offering their own credit card, outside of MasterCard/visa, with a bond offering being a way to dip into it.

This would be a very odd way of going about trying to sell the company by saying that someone was going to by it for 2x what it is presently worth ... so why not buy this falling knife right now!

Auto suggest helps slow typers or people that aren't sure of how to spell way more than displaying a hodge podge of results that change quickly.

Renting a home you can usually get back your mortgage (I have two rentals and they do). Also cheaper homes will appreciate more. For example a $1M home can only go up so much if that's already the top end of a market but two $500k home

+eleventy on that comment. It sounds like they want a clone of Dr O that has industry experience and can bang out code quickly that solves an artificial problem given in an interview. What I got from this article is that the company shouldn

Thanks for making that so succinct. I can't count the number of times I've run into code like that. I used to have scorn for devs that handed code over like that but I've since turned around to thinking that this is mostly d

"The evidence was all around". -- well that can be said about anything. I'm sure 100 years from now there will be a similar post saying "the evidence was all around for faster than light travel" or the like

That does sound like an interesting way of doing it except that the distributor (Apple, Amazon, Google) can be subpoenaed and the exact amount of money, probably along with who spent it, can be found. So maybe it works on small time operat

And that somehow justifies Uber saying that all UberPool money collected is revenue? Because the math is hard ? This company is like a Russian nesting doll shell game. There's more in each layer and every layer is a distraction.

That's to local .au servers. What is it like to the US? I think you can select a country with Speedtest.
