Where does the command over minimum wages, minimum maternity leave and minimum consumer warranty end? Where democracy decides it ends.

Sometimes there's clearly no risk but an automated tool flags it anyway? Requiring a creative and meaningless "fix".

It might be compressible. HTTP/3 includes compression of request headers. Base64 doesn't use the top two bits in a byte so it's compressible.

You still need a developer account to notarise apps that are published on alternative app stores. Plus you need to agree to pay Apple the Core Technology Fee.

The limitation started because the M chip combined the CPU and GPU and combined the RAM with the VRAM. That's why its battery life and power efficiency blows Windows laptops out of the water. So they didn't just limit it for no re

The new Air supports two external displays.. if the laptop is closed (ie internal display is off). That's a pretty big caveat.

They once had to put a notice on their website for 2 weeks in the UK due to losing a Samsung design patent case. Their non compliance was impressive. They changed the website to ensure users wouldn't see the footer with the link withou

He says he got permission in writing before his employment. So not much risk there, I hope.

I think, if you press "Open" in IE on the file download dialog, it goes to temp. Then, the default for zips is to extract to the same folder. So, the original mistake was offering people to open downloads without saving them first

Despite all the talk Microsoft wasn't broken in pieces and never paid a significant penalty. The loudness of the congressmen was to compensate for that. Now the Overton window has moved and people no longer believe a company can be bro

i3 auto tiles so you don't have to press Super+Arrow for every new window. It's also better at rearranging, with modes like virtual desktops, tabs, etc.

I'm in the UK so we don't have "medical bills", the hospital doesn't have a billing system. There is one they dust off for international patients, and there is internal billing between regional and local organisatio

Well traffic deaths per capita are about double in the US so that probably carries over to other insurance-triggering incidents.

I don't think it suggested leaving places empty for a year. Rather they wanted to spread out lease renewals. If everybody's lease ends in September then your property is competing with a lot of others. Whereas if you keep it empty

One of the actors says the guy was just in over his head, but it isn't his first time organising a massively disappointing event! Making me think it is deliberate.

In Django I had code in every view ensuring that the user was not accessing another user's data. If I create an abstraction like a utility function or "model manager" to handle this, I have to remember to call it from every v

Django admin is really extensible. I'm not seeing here how to offer multiple forms against the same model. Eg if a user can edit some of their profile but not the subscription plan field, while a sales team can. https://gith

It depends massively what you're searching for. If there's a whiff of money attached then the results are crap. However if you want to know why the sky is blue then Google delivers.

Yes really. Those listicles exist because Google became stricter about a different type of content- product reviews. https://housefresh.com/david-vs-digital-goliaths/ The business model of the listicles is: clicks from

A lot of scams work on greed (like the betting tipster scam) or desperation (like the bail scam) to get people to lower their guards. Offering somebody $100,000 most people will immediately realise it's a scam, but a $50,000 job sounds

If that's true, parliament seemingly doesn't want to win. The monarch is excluded from environmental law, inheritance tax, heck they can even racially discriminate in hiring. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news&#x2

I mean, it's Sony. How long did it take them to get out of the Memory Stick business. There isn't an open system they haven't tried to compete with with their closed, locked-in alternatives. Are you going to buy a PS6 if you

That's a very selective statistic from a government department. How many "reusable" bags are sold every year? Each one weighs 50-100x more than the old bags and I guarantee they aren't used proportionally more times. The
