I am neutral on whether it is or not - though rather than posting unredacted images, an attempt appeared to be made to redact them for whatever reason and I could still read the names.

Great work! - though the redaction of names / university is very leaky if that is a concern (particularly if you have some knowledge of common Vietnamese naming patterns)

AFAIK, In the UK you usually have 6 years to file a claim for a defect in a product, though the product has to be fit for purpose and last for whatever a 'reasonable' lifespan for that product is. e.g. most people would expect a c

I have been to some fun offsites in Puerto Vallarta. I imagine other Mexican / central American towns/resorts are also available. It was cheap compared to a US city, everyone could fly there quickly and you could hang around as a

Many people where I am own GA aircraft as a syndicate - everyone is a shareholder in a company and you get x hours per year of flight time per share, and have to pay your share of the costs. I imagine that the limited liability helps if the

I am not sure about the US, but in most countries I have driven in, putting a turn signal on is asking for permission to enter another lane, and there is no 'right' to go into the other lane or expect drivers currently there to sl

Is it more socially acceptable or expected in society to say 'I worked too much' rather than 'my family and wife were dull and annoying and took up loads of time, I wish I had got better at my passions / done more resear

I was attempting to say it may be more convenient / less expensive for the vendor if all customers are forced to have self-service accounts rather than having to complain to manned customer service or via twitter or whatever.

Could part of the pattern for requiring an email address (or phone number) at time of purchase be reduced customer support costs for the vendor. With an email address the customer can reset their own password for using their account with se

The title made me think people were leaving trash in their hotel rooms (quickly resolved by visiting and reading it) I wonder if you would get billed for forgetting your CRTs / tyres / hazardous waste / bags of asbestos when

In the UK you can also operate class A1 for up to two years on a provisional license as a 'learner driver' displaying 'L' plates upon completing compulsory basic training (CBT) You can't 'fail' CBT and any

I am in an apartment building in a large city where OpenReach will only supply 3mb fibre despite how many times we ask or complain. There are other 2 or 3 year newer apartment buildings 10 meters away in 3 directions which have fiber to the

Have you tried Twilio or some similar SMS solution that doesn't involve your phone. Admittedly this costs money but potentially you could use a number there to consume everything. Alternatively if you are in Europe/UK the openbank

This is widely known and allegedly used by law enforcement forensics etc. I have often thought about building a SaaS service that strips or adds the correct hum and harmonics to videos if you wanted to plant some false evidence or make a go

I have been using Runbox - (www.runbox.com) and it seems to work well. Based in Norway and claims to require using a Norwegian judge to sign a warrant before any info will be given to law enforcement etc. Not sure how you verify that though

Is it the dating app that is responsible, or that people/prospective dates have became much more disposable in general, and no-one really cares? You probably want to date people in the top 5 or 10% of your target sex/gender/a

True. I am not sure exactly what hash is being used (though others seem to indicate md5) I have heard from colleagues in the past that consumers of illegal pornography used to (or possibly still do) commonly apply a negative filter or hue s

As the images never leave the device (and you can't build an image from the hash) then surely they are dependent on the victim certifying that the image is a picture of them. They have just made a tool to ban 20 arbitrary images at a t
