I would tend to agree with the advice given so far that you should bail on the well-known company, but you also need to tell them directly why it is that you are no longer interested in their offer. It is possible, but unlikely, that they w

Or if the thief has an iPhone they will be notified that the AirTag is tracking them. This is not an anti-theft device and anyone who thinks so will be disappointed. It is a device for finding your own stuff that you have misplaced or forgo

It is in the Queen's collection but it does go on display. When I was squiring visiting family around the city we decided to do the palace tour and I was pleasantly surprised to turn a corner and see it on display right in front of me.

Redundancy costs mass and there are a lot of deployment steps that simply cannot be made redundant. The trick is folding everything to fit into the constraints of the payload fairing. Good engineering is to design within these limits and bu

Actually it does disprove your point. There are clearly plenty of people who think that the food is good enough to pay for it and keep the restaurant in business so it is far more likely that you have no idea how to properly value the food

The 'militia' is an outdated concept with as much relevance to modern life as the muskets they once used, but it was always intended to be a popular (as in 'of the people') manifestation of the state. As far as Heller g

This is why most of the FB security infrastructure is actually inward-facing. The actual infra is so complex that it would take an outsider quite a while to figure out how to get the data they might want. For an insider is it much easier to

In 1996 we were using Python 1.4 to build Rocketmail, which later became YahooMail. As a sysadmin I came from a Perl background but was not a fan of Perl 5, so in addition to doing sysadmin stuff I started playing around with Python. It tur

The artifacts are catalogued and stored, which is more than can be said when it comes to a lot of older cultures. I would have a lot more sympathy for the arguments that the rapacious British were nothing but a detriment to archaeology and

No, it is just that most nerds are too ignorant to understand how law works and its purpose and mechanisms. They expect it to be some sort of API spec that can be mechanically manipulated. Their own efforts at such intellectual mechanics ar

In a lot of cases the hardware could just barely keep up at the top-end of the market and for devices that were in the 'affordable' zone the hardware was just not powerful enough. An Apple Newton MessagePad 2000 was a sweet device

Regardless of whether Matlab is a good language, it is looked at as a one-trick pony. You would never instinctively reach for Matlab to write a quick web server or to scrape a third-party API. What Python brings is all of the math and data

I think you are confusing Jimmy Carter with Three Mile Island. The former favoured renewables over nuclear, but it was the latter that stopped nuclear energy development in its tracks.
