Counting zeros is challenging enough that commas are added to help, so I’d say it’s normal.

Serious question; how do you know this is an exaggeration? I would assume you have no way of knowing what this site looks like to non-dyslexics, as you are effectively overlaying real dyslexia on top of simulated. Like looking at a painting

Public sources as in the taxpayer? Why would the taxpayer fund anything that isn’t open and free. Crazy.

I wonder if the move against H-1Bs is good for the rest of the world. How much would Evernote be contributing to the Azerbaijan economy if Stepan hadn’t left? Would London have more larger start ups?

Is that how it works in the US? In the UK, your debit card is effectively your bank account. Maxing it would imply your account is empty, and overdrawn to the point where the bank will not lend you more. No lag.

If there’s an option to opt out of the walled garden, people will be fooled into taking it. There is no way to differentiate between you, who wants to install what they wish, and those people that believe it is really Apple cold calling the

If one is able to install software without going into the App Store, then one is also liable to be socially engineered into installing software from outside the App Store. No thanks. Keep iPhones in their walled gardens where they are safe.

If GDPR starts to be enforced, they’ll go after the low hanging fruit first. You don’t need to be compliant, just more compliant than the worst.

You don’t need to install it to join a zoom meeting, that’s one of the reasons it’s so popular.

It’s hard to get a GP appointment in many areas in the UK, anything more convenient is likely to make people happy. Do they know their video chats were recorded and retained?

I understand it to mean, do not pick at small faults in others arguments. Cross examination is good in a courtroom trial, but does detract from the flow of conversation.

Blocking Pinterest results in image search was my first thought with this extension. That’s disappointing if it doesn’t, will test myself now.

Later in the article it states aspiring actress. Ironic that you’ve been condescending and yet lack basic reading skills. I certainly wouldn’t want a skin care consultant that couldn’t read the bottle.

5% of revenue requiring much less than 5% of engineering time sounds like an awesome part of a business. Hardly small, either.

The speed limit in the US is 1000mph, else it’s a munition. I believe the US used to make their GPS slightly inaccurate, but this was done on the satellite side.

CS3 round the river is quite nice, you could cross straight away and cycle round that. For me, the key is to continuously try different routes. Sometimes the busier roads are safer and more pleasant to cycle. Personally once I’m on my bike

Use Citymapper to find a quiet route. Vauxhall to Kings Cross is fine, there’s a segregated route pretty much the whole way, crossing Blackfriars bridge. The new elephant and castle roundabout is segregated too, and easy to navigate. Traffi

There’s a brilliant cycle path from Woolwich to London. There is a lot of cycle storage in the new Royal Arsenal development down there. It was an easy cycle as it’s flat yet when I did that route, there were only a handful of other cyclist

While honourable advice, the bottom line is Keybase sold without having a business model. So perhaps better advice is, start a business even if you don’t have a plan and someone may buy it anyway.

If everyone else with the app has location access enabled it is redundant disabling it. App knows their location, and app knows you’re near them. Location access by proxy.

I’m personally happy with the licence, which makes it easier for people to use without being pursued by Getty or similar as happens with public domain images. People here are complaining about it not being public domain, but as soon as imag
