Highly unlikely, as Google would say it was a mistake and point out that they correct details when venues notify them. On a slight tangent: bear in mind also that Google is not party to whatever agreement there is between venue and customer

Thanks! I figured you would be doing the decent thing (ie not listening in!). All the best with the project!

Where's the privacy policy? If the content is encoded in the URL then that's all going to the server (unless the # idea someone mentions below gets implemented) and thus everything being shared is visible to the site owners. For s

Completely agree. It's the mindless nature that's the red flag here. I met a guy who came across as quite fluent in these meetings but quickly you would realise he didn't know what any of it meant - it was like the Chinese Ro

Isn't the dilemma here that these experiments are being done on far too big a scale for the low skill level the cars currently exhibit, and yet if you take that to the companies behind them they would all argue they need more cars to g

Yes, the challenge people then face is that if they lack too much intuition for the subject, they can't spot obvious issues. We've all seen how ML people don't necessarily have to have the skills to solve a problem (ie i don&

The camera is often the reason i end up with a phone that's way bigger than I'd otherwise like. The Pixel 6XL has the better camera but otherwise I'd have been all over the 6 (or smaller if it had they done anything in that s

These displays make for very approachable projects. Check out this repo if you're interested in controlling them from a raspberry pi. Adafruit and others sell a variety of sizes. https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-

Just a little thing: it's nice that it works on mobile too (many hover activities don't but here it's fine). And the text of the titles is selectable even though it's vertical (thanks to CSS)

Works fine for me on a Pixel 6XL. It does need to let the pyodide files load, but they get cached, so for me, having previously loaded a demo a month or so ago, it loaded the Todo app almost instantly. A few brief delays came with the matpl

Also bear in mind that most* educational needs can be met by the Pi 400, which generally hasn't suffered a shortage to the same degree. So they can often be satisfied by the 400 whereas the industrial/commercial uses are typically

In a few of the financial centres, seemingly led by New York, companies are pressuring mostly reluctant staff to come back in for trumped up reasons that a cynic might boil down to "come back or a bunch of sandwich and coffee shops wil

I guess it's not easily done but if people were to send blatantly messed up data back to the servers that were listening to the creepy TVs it would undermine that value and maybe the manufacturers would reconsider.

What were these high barriers to entry? Not trying to be awkward, but even back in the early days of Netscape, it wasn't like you had to recall any arcane commands to use most search engines. Sure, they all had limitations then, such a

Or you just put the apk behind a big obvious button saying "Advanced users" and a checkbox for users to affirm they are comfortable installing/working with APKs themselves, which is required before the download can start. You

All seems sensible stuff, the "it just works" can't be overstated. But the Apple Maps point felt like a stretch - Google Maps is available everywhere. I don't see much to suggest you'd need it as an app, it works gr

Shaming companies into doing the right thing with customer service was literally the reason I got a Twitter account, and for a decent time (a year, perhaps more) that's all I had it for, but I gradually got used to using it for other t

It could well be that the client companies saw enough red flags to decline doing business with them, even though the employees fell for the ongoing deception and the sunk-cost fallacy - it should be noted that this was a time of great uncer
