This is the same data quality I face in Singapore. Looks great, but gets simple Things wrong, including wrong routes (doesn’t show several options usually) and business details not up to date. How forgiving do we have to be? Google maps is

Agree on the comments about getting setup with R/RStudio. Very straight forward for new comers and non-programmers which is >99% of the world. I believe there is a market for a heavily simplified RStudio - call it RStudio Light . M

You're probably right, but I had guessed from this [0] that by unselected these options on each device, no metrics should be sent through. [0] https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210682

My apple devices are constantly hitting metrics.icloud.com. From teh screen grab below, they are second only to metrics collection by whatsapp over a 30 day period [0]. I've confirmed multiple times on every apple device to turn off an

This was the last straw for me. I’ve started looking around at alternatives (iCloud photos, literally no decent alternatives soo ok far to sync 400gb of photos) and have removed iCloud files to sub for just a simple NAS at home with tailsca

Currently watching a health care department in a c.8m person city implement powerBI. To me, similar reasons surface to why it's a disaster waiting to happen. Formulae hidden away in non document DAX columns. Its horrendous. Its the wor

I’m not adding anything particular of value but just to say - I agree. The current environment - at least online - is you have to be for something, picking a side. Against you however, people may say - we can’t turn off that part of who we

Echoing other comments - cartoons I’ve seen at the moment are just hyper visuals with loud noises and linear cheap narratives. The only cartoon I’ve seen recently for a 3 year that isn’t terrible is Bluey - and Australian English cartoon. O

Some anecdotal from the Apple camp. I've switch off every possible toggle on Apple TVs, iPhones MacBooks and all the devices still ping back to Apple HQ with time.apple.com, time-osx.g.aaplimg.com, metrics.icloud.com..... so I take thi

Thanks. I believe the organization already has the powerBI service available - just not being used. But when I look at their use case - and ability - I think it might be over kill. Agreed that its definitely not someones side project on a F

Agreed it would take a large team to deploy and execute - especially as its a public/government run team. I probably wasn't clear in my description of the goal. I want to get up to speed and distill what options are available - at

I must concur. There is a reason taking drugs has been around for 1000's of years - within reason.

My learned view is that most Australians don’t dis-trust the government, they just think it’s a bunch of morons gather around to do a fairly shit job at leading the country.

From a technical and privacy standpoint, is there a huge difference to the Apple U1 device network - with the limited amount of information that’s been made public? I’m coming from a position of limited knowledge on both platforms, so curio

Good luck - if you get traction please post an update. I too love shouting into the void of bureaucracy.

I guess it raises the question - in the instance of say FDW (Foreign domestic workers, who live with a number of families in Singapore) - just because it’s legal, does it make it right? I don’t know. Majority of maids live in 1.5m x 1.7m ro

i.reddit.com is even better. Edit: As a number of others have mentioned below. I too have reduced reddit intake due to the poor UI amongst a realisation of its not a good use of my time.

It’s all over for Hong Kong as it has been in the past - a bridge between east and west - a NYC of Asia. I lived there for 4 years just after the GFC as the transition was slowly continuing to stronger Chinese rule. My view is nothing new.
