"Google maps are so much better than anything out there." I'd take Nokia's Here anytime instead of Google Maps (offline maps alone are worth it). Also, I honestly don't understand a logic behind crediting somethin

"Much Stronger Nature of the Link" Citation needed. I would bet my money that growth of population and urbanization has bigger impact than meat industry.

I use my PC fan as a detector for nefarious scripts. If opening a site causes a fan to run at its peak for more than few seconds, I close it immediately or at least disable JS on it.

There might be literally millions of insects in a field, how many lasers would you need for that? Also, you would need much more precise sensors as detecting an insect is way harder than a bird. Such system would be way too expensive, un

Because not invoking NATO Article V would immediately render the whole alliance useless (as this article is the whole point of NATO) and I'm sure no member of it would risk that. Russia pulling a similar trick as in Ukraine on any NA

Exactly. I do live in a country bordering Russia and we have been occupied by it twice during the last two hundred years. NATO is seen as the only way to keep our independence. Look and Georgia and Ukraine know -- both these countries s

Information is great, but it would be much more readable in simple text form or pdf. It's strange that senior creative engineer at Google doesn't know presentation making basics.

That might have been true few years back. Now people buy Bitcoin because they see headlines on Fox News and whatnot about "Bitcoin reaches new all-time high of $ XXXXX" nearly daily. I know it's a bubble when my totally non-t

obligation != trust. I wouldn't trust private company that claims to back crypto currency 1-to-1 with USD, but doesn't back these claims with numbers in any way. The fact that they are not legally obligated to do so doesn&#x27

Legally - yes, but when such company act as a semi-bank, costumers can reasonably expect some transparency, especially when rumors are going around.

This "FUD" could be easily dismissed by showing a bank account statement containing these $814M. The fact that Bitfinex doesn't do that means they have something to hide or are in serious trouble.

GPDR itself doesn't specify cookies use. "Cookie law" is defined in ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) which to be replaced by ePrivacy Regulation which is an addendum to GPDR. Actually, it's going to be much sane

If somebody managed to hack into your servers deep enough to access private keys, you are f*cked anyway (they can as well delete/encrypt all data), so it's not an argument against user data encryption. Actually, storing private ke

Well, only time will tell, I just relayed what I've heard from people much more knowledgeable in this area than me. How I understand this is that if you serve many enough EU citizens, please be kind, open a branch in EU or at least sen

Yes, but I'm sure this will only be valid for big enough companies (read serving millions of EU citizens) as it's subjective what "processing the data of EU citizens" actually means. It's not realistic to expect eve

"I can guarantee you Google protects this data more securely than your carrier does." That's not true at all. My carrier falls under strict EU privacy laws and regulations, Google - doesn't.

To each his own I guess, but socializing and constant noise around when others are socializing is the main thing I hate about hacker spaces. I would gladly pay extra to have a "sterile" workplace for my projects.
