Which is why I said 'pretty much'. In this discussion they can be regarded as the same thing.

Yep; sales tax, VAT, GST, they are all pretty much the same thing. And the fact that in the US they vary by location was what I was alluding to. > I guess that is why it is not included in the price by default I hear that argument a lot

Many western countries have very simple or near-automatic tax systems and I would argue that the tax you pay is actually much more visible to residents of such countries. In the UK, for example, most employees do not have to file a tax retu

"regular" or "poor"? I would argue that the neighbourhoods above are just representations of the other side of the spectrum. Not where "regular" people live.

Then you might be interested in the Vivo Nex Dual Display. It has a smaller screen at the back which means that there is not need for a front camera. It comes with neat little features such as the people whose picture is being taken being a

I agree. The notch simply does not look premium at all. It's the kind of design decision you would see in lower-end phones as a compromise. The fact that so many Android OEMs followed suit surprised me. The usual chinese iPhone clones

I bought a Lenovo T431s around 5 years ago. It's quite slim and not very heavy and still going very strong. Since I bought it I have upgraded the following: * New SSD * Added extra RAM * Upgraded the screen to full HD IPS (turns out th

I can tell the difference between different bottled water but not Pepsi and Coke. But that might be because I rarely drink either.

To be honest, I don't know. This is nearly 20 years ago now. I assume the FTP server created the directories using a different file-system API call than Windows Explorer. Here's a post by someone who found one of these directory s

Back in the good old days of the early(er) internet, back when you could do a port search on 21 to find random machines with anonymous FTP access, a lot of the machines you'd find were inevitably Windows machines. A 'trick' u

I've been using Linux for nearly two decades and the package manager is probably one of the most attractive features it has over other operating systems. Keeping your software up-to-date on Windows is a massive pain and requires tons o

As someone who also drinks litres of tea every day while at work, I have never tried blending two different types of tea. Do you blend them 50/50 or have you found a better ratio? (I'd assume you don't need much lapsang)

For what it's worth, I don't think I really remember iTunes ever being remotely good. I remember being forced to use it when I got my first iPod over a decade ago and it was an awful bloated mess which couldn't deal with my m

Yeah I do the same. I buy a ~200 euro/dollar/pounds phone every 2-3 years. I'd love to work out how much money I've saved over the last two decades while always having a decent phone in my pocket. It's getting more

If you download your maps data from Google you will see the address is still saved as it was before (in json format). So the address is still there, they are just actively blocking you from making use of it in most of their apps (but eviden

This is very useful for beginners. I hope more frameworks/languages have a page of common "gotcha's" in their documentation in the future. Then again, it's sort of a right of passage to spend a couple of hours debug

Although the US has a lot of influence on international culture and laws the above is simply not really true. Drug laws in Europe vary wildly between countries, with places like Portgual decriminalising even hard drugs and places like the N

I don't think you can really compare EK A380 with any 787, especially in Economy. The problem with the 787 is that pretty much every operator has decided to cram as many seats in as possible. It's probably the worst plane to fly l

The European road network is actually slightly larger than the US one (~6.5 million km vs ~7 million km).

What do you mean by 'wrapper over binary blobs'? I know the old .doc format was basically a memory dump of the document; but how does OXML relate to that?

But instead of applying the tax rules they simply decided to not sell to Australia anymore. I believe OP is sad about the accelerating move to a more fragmented internet.

I think it very much depends on whether the redesign is just a UX/UI "refresher" or if it actually completely changes the way the service works and how you use it. I am thinking of Digg here which is a good example of a redes

I did that and to be honest I am not quite sure why. I think it's due to lack of reading the question properly and impatience. But it also might be due to how programmers sometimes think/work. Often, when I am trying to solve a pr

But it's not just repairing, it's being able to upgrade. I have a 6 year-old Lenovo and it's still performing amazingly. Since buying it I have upgraded the HDD twice (to an SSD and then to a slightly larger and faster SSD),

I would have to double-check but I believe I got those kind of notifications even with location history off (maybe from recent Google Maps search terms and Google Maps activity?).

by koyote 9y ago
I really don't see a use-case for A from the consumer perspective. Why would anyone ever want such a notification? For case B we can see where scraping all this information can be genuinely useful.

by koyote 9y ago
There is of course, but I guess the question remains whether the data is being logged even if you turn it off (you just don't get the annoying notifications anymore).
