I have a totally different experience. I accidentally submerged my iPhone X in the sea as I got off a boat[1]. The phone although supposedly considered waterproof went mental and basically stopped working. I was flying back via Singapore (a

The same concept still works; they could have installed IntelliJ and copied over all of the plugins and settings?

That doesn't seem to be correct, although what does 'phone numbers' mean in this context? Quote: "WhatsApp, which was acquired by Facebook in 2014, does share some limited data with Facebook, including phone numbers. How

If I got the vaccine and a blood clot, I'd want to understand it better. I'd want to understand the numbers at large to see whether it was caused by the vaccine. In the UK, the numbers need to be considered fully: * 30 million hav

The barrier to entry isn't the tech (which is why I don't think that this is really a tech firm). The barrier to entry is the relationships with the restaurants and the riders (and advertising to get people to use it)

If I have two monitors with two resolutions and I put the two screens together the text is a different size. When I'm reading the text I want it to be consistent as I move it across screens. With this approach will the text be the same

I think you made a jump there. This could equally be one of the other in the Five Eyes group e.g. Canada, Uk, Australia, NZ.

We have auto merges setup vs master within bitbucket. I've asked our support team to raise it with them and get it addressed. Thats the only reason we've not changed it. We don't develop off master anymore anyway, so it is a

Totally agree with this. If someone still struggles to get behind it, think of the few chars that will be shorter to type and also think how it is much easier to compare the branch concept a real tree, and talk about the main branch. Maybe

I'm so disappointed in this. Whatsapp is a functional tool. It was successful since it worked. Facebook has entirely failed to utilise it - to allow external systems to connect in so that businesses can do business on there. The voice

Most ORM's I've used carefully choose just the columns required. i.e. they don't use 'select *'.

In the UK we have instant transfers between bank accounts. For larger quantities there can be a bigger delay.

Agreed. One of the reasons is that the option has a risk and therefore there's a cost associated with managing that risk and taking on the trade.

I agree on the mechanism. If the objection is that someone can influence the price of an instrument without owning it (like in short selling (although in short selling you can borrow the instrument and then short it)), then should the argum

If I want insurance to protect against the price going down, I'd buy a put option. I know a bit about this but I'm not an expert on this. Naively, those put options are effectively offered by those providing a short (they think th

Replying to myself to avoid edits. The other reason that listening and not spouting fiction is a good idea is that it is a lot of effort correcting people d that effort could otherwise be spent elsewhere. Folk have good will, but there&#x27

I think it would be helpful if folk highlighted when they don't know an area and are not experts. I think this is a better way to do it because it is clear that the person is trying to learn rather than spouting nonsense. Also, it take

I think that there's a real problem with people using 'Cunningham's Law' as a way to learn. It might be fine for that person (because they know their limits), but then anyone reading it could incorrectly quote that perso

So the market price which is made from all transactions from all brokers will drop because robinhood users could not buy. That makes no sense to me. If they really wanted to buy they could use another broker? If the market really is droppin

There's a real danger here that there are high level summaries upon summaries from those who don't really understand the details of the markets. Every broker will have various liquidity pools and those pools will be pinged to exe
