Cool insight! I wonder if ChyronHego isn't available real-time due to not being able to provide it in real-time or just that there is not enough money on the table for them to do so. I'm pretty sure the Opta data is available on a

Opta[1] provide stats for many sports. For example, in football(UK), Opta provide feeds that include many stats on the game before, during, and after. These feeds can be quite extensive. I imagine most sports have similar services available

I think (with no basis in reputable source) it's more just that Amazon see a large potential market in Europe that current Regions can't cover. There're also possibly local data laws / policies that mean not every compan

I think that instead of creating pseudo-jobs to counter this, perhaps we look into the 'bored' aspect. Can we provide stimulation to avert the negative results seen historically? When we say that we have and distribute the resourc

Well, if you haven't done some form of studying, formal or informal, you can't really claim to be informed.

Error in conciseness! I can empathise completely and do understand the reasoning of the opinion of a large number of people who do not want a third party being privy to every transaction. I was attempting to convey that there are likely man

We had that in the UK for a while too. It seemed that the big corps ended up absorbing the fee and then most others had to too. There's still the occasional merchant that has a minimum but I see less and less as time goes on. In theory

I agree with the sentiment, though I'd argue they're getting better. For example the Nationwide FlexDirect current account[0] comes with a £1,200 overdraft limit that gets charged at 50p per day it's used. A vast improvement

Whereas I get annoyed by it and lose track of how much I'm spending when I use it!

Which is a real shame, the UK has had Chip and PIN for >10 years.

I don't see this as a given. I for one would be more than happy to have a cashless society, and I would struggle to believe that I'm unique out of the ~7 billion there are of us.

Worth pointing out that this can be fuzzy, I have a £1600 overdraft facility that I can use with my debit card (I don't use it though).

And yet I'm living in a village outside Leicester in the UK and I've paid <£0.50 on a card/using Android Pay on multiple occasions.

Not sure what you've seen to evidence this. I've worked for 4 companies (definitely not exec level); I've been pulled over a couple of times and not once been asked to do a drug/urine test.

I got hit with this last night, has anyone seen any more information?

My assumption is that there is a 0 missing off of the end of that number.

In this instance it's paid for after use with the standard AWS billing. Only a matter of time though!

Usually indicates that it's a legal address and nothing more. Plenty of companies offer a registered address B2B service that enables a company to use them as their registered address.

In a previous thread, I mentioned that Paul Bettany would be the best voice for this sort of system. That said, Morgan Freeman is a fine alternative.

Surely it's just a matter of time before someone gets a blank cheque and hires Paul Bettany for whatever is required to voice one of these systems. I'm through and through Google to a fault, but that would seriously sway me. I&#x2

Is this a real issue? My understanding was that there is a significantly lower demand for electricity at night. This is reflected in my energy tariff at least (daytime ~3x cost per kWh over night time).

This actually did seem to fix my partner's car for a short while just before the battery completely died. Something to do with resetting diagnostics.

It would be suicide for them to do that. Not ruling it out, but if they get caught one time it calls into question everything they've ever released.

Surely self-incrimination laws make this a non-starter?
