I guess the biggest takeaway here is caveat emptor. Google famously does not support their services, and wields so much power that you are pretty much SoL on this one. I have sympathy for your situation - but next time, remember this and co

I would not go so far as to assume iPhones do not perform surveillance. What Tim Cook says is one thing, what the national security letter they've received says is another.

Perhaps SAR with very high resolution too - allowing them to image at night and through cloud cover.

So their inability to adapt to a modern world is our fault? I find that hard to believe when they as a society have had way more resources than the rest of the world for quite some time, and haven't really done much with it.

Which company pays this in Sofia? VMWare? My company has engineers in bulgaria but they don't make that kind of money (still good money, but not $5.6k good).

I worked at one place where instead of giving us root access to our machine, gave us one that was offline (with access to an air-gapped local network and a dedicated IT guy to ensure we had access to tools/IDEs/licenses etc) and a

We in the west are already using this for bail decisionmaking - this one is used in the US. https://www.equivant.com/northpointe-suite/ On another note, why is there always a push to "humanise" the system wi

I feel lucky to personally know Google employees. The times when I've had an issue and gone via the public channels there has been radio silence. Directly report it via a google employee and it generally gets dealt with. It should not

4chan is basically a million monkeys on typewriters, so it's unsurprising they've managed to predict the death of Epstein. Let's not forget that every man and his dog on reddit and elsewhere immediately predicted this guy wou

This falls far short of "Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About The Stock Market But Were Too Afraid To Ask". Does anyone have a source that actually begins to explain thi stuff? I want something that goes into long/short,

Pick up the phone and ring your local council right now - they all seem to have a different approach to this, but the person on the other end of the phone will have the answer for you. They will be very interested in the outcome of this.

When I first moved to London my Australian bank changed about $1000 AUD for me to british 50s; I think in that part of the world the banks/money changers get shipments of 50s to save space/weight. Took me a good year to shift thos

The current batch of 50s are practically unusable because they are widely counterfeited and lack sufficient security features. The new one should significantly lower that risk - that having been said, it's likely that they will be hoar

I don't think that solar panels will be capable of generating enough power to make much of an impact on an electric car's mileage. Happy to be corrected.

I have seen rusted on voters from both sides of the aisle condemning this. The government's mistake was raiding a News Corp journo - they have absolutely no-one on side on this issue now.

I find it hard to believe that this will be contained to Australia and China. Australia certainly deserves what it gets (my home country) given its attitude towards debt and housing, but I think the contagion is real.

Cost was not the only driver for the push towards Uber. The fact that the licensing scheme was ineffective at providing a safe, positive experience in almost every market I visited was the major driver. If I'm paying the same as a cab

Passengers as a whole don't have any idea what is going on and have the memory of an amnesiac goldfish. They also don't have the ability to differentiate between planes in general, so this is probably just as likely to affect thei

I imagine this would be used for Immediacy solutions. Amazon Prime Now being a great example of which. It would cost more, but per order it's probably cheaper than a guy on a bike given guy on said bike + insurance + overheads will tak

I think with today's technology there's no need to build a card reader into the drone itself. It can just be handled online prior to delivery (or after successful delivery).

My experience of working for a massive company in france was we had a "35 hour" workweek, which cadres would regularly ignore. They were typically doing 8:30-7pm or 9pm-7pm.
