As an Australian, with an economy always experiencing very high inflation (8%) I just immediately question what is the composition of the US CPI. Perhaps it’s not reflective or is disproportionately weighted

Given how the HCA has taken so many traditional (archaic) views on media publication recently (see Voller 2020) I wonder to what degree this a political decision. The respondent is a very unsavoury figure in the legal world. Any lawyers abl

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss this as Murdoch machinations (old media tax extraction - besides, that's settled law here). During oral arguments one of the justices rightly pointed out that Google has a financial incentive in h

I remember listening to the Bungie podcast many many years ago right as they sold to MS. For me, the saddest part was the bastardisation of the Halo series. 343i have just never quite had the same spark. Destiny & Activision just showed

Reading the headline I couldn’t help but think “But why?”. Actually quite interesting and valuable implementation info if you’re ever doing threading with CPython.

That is one of the most poorly written articles I've ever read. Aside from the jarring punctuation marks littered throughout, why is there a Kodi logo next to "Streaming Piracy?"

Perhaps it was the team that pushed out the latest UI update. Honestly, it is so bad that nearly all my friends have stopped using it for stories.

There is no support for writing direct links as you say, but if the data is a standard NDEF URI then I believe the NFCReaderSession will return the NDEFMessage objects (code example https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4

If anyone's wondering, the API is significantly more limited than the Android NFC API (which having used it extensively over the last 2 years I can say is very pleasant). Still, it's better than nothing and it represents a huge op
