I don't see the problem here. What's wrong with that? Tools are supposed to make your life easier.

What does a smart home gym actually do?

They typically aren't taken together at literally the same time. It will be coke early in the night and then eventually xanax to get them to sleep because they are so wired.

Not necessarily. At least some of the benefit for Google is that they prevent a competitor from paying to be the default search.

This is a very disingenuous argument. American troops aren't fighting an insurgency in Germany, Italy or Spain!

I think GP means to buy nvidia products. Not to buy the company.

Do you have a source for that? I am surprised that Netflix would be bigger than YouTube.

Interestingly the Australian financial services regulator (APRA) has a requirement that companies have a multi-cloud plan for each of their applications. For example, a 'company critical' application needs to be capable of migrati

Hopefully there is a full RCA published once the services are fully restored. This is really concerning for any GCP customer.

Yes, of course. His guests love being able to come on and present their view with very little critical analysis of what they are saying. It is fantastic PR for them. Interviewers shouldn't be aggressive, antagonistic or clickbaity but

How on earth could you know that? That's a strong assumption to make.

Your last paragraph is a weird take. It's a story because he was ostensibly trying to hide his identity and failed pretty miserably.

Well, yes. Bias and laziness. Not behaviours that are acceptable in the justice system.

Or, cynically, their original odds were right but they have taken the opportunity to reduce payouts because punters now consider that event more likely and thus would accept less.

Yeah I don't see the issue here. Why should we care if the Chinese government is subsidising the Western middle class to de-carbonised? That's a great outcome!

Why do none of these long articles on HA ever provide proper examples of their automations?

How are attackers getting username and real names from this? Surely the password reset page doesn't reveal that information?

Both can be true. Tech sector, especially start ups, is especially sensitive to interest rates. It's been a booming year for travel, retail, hospitality and more.

It's highly dependent on the demographic I think. I'd guess that I'm younger than you based on your comment about having kids, and everyone in my social circles use Facebook messenger or instagram.

Nonsense. Ukraine already had an agreement with Russia that turned out to be worth less than the paper it was written on. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum

That's true, you're completely correct that income is still a constraint. However, there are a few other factors that can increase borrowing capacity significantly. First, personal incomes tend to increase over the course of your

If the value of your house increases by, say, $100k, the play is not to sell the house but to tap into that equity to make new investments. The ability to do that will depend on your income, as you still need to be able to service a larger

House prices increasing are "good" for homeowners because you can potentially tap into the equity to leverage for another investment. The typical play in modern Australia is to buy an investment property and then use negative gear

Absolutely, nothing wrong with that. It's important to understand the risks so that one can make informed choices. That is probably where there needs to be more research.

I remember not being able to play Diablo 2 on my iMac running mac os X and I was so sad about it. I've used Windows ever since.

I literally had a "senior cloud architect" tell me that he didn't understand how one of his team's apps works because "he only draws the boxes" and then laughed it off.

Provided employee productivity is the same (or better) this model still has Zendesk ahead. It doesn't really matter if utilization is low - if you've closed 10% of your offices you're paying 10% less rent than you were before

If Sony/Nintendo/others can't make a popular FPS in 10 years that isn't a Microsoft problem.
