I think it's entirely the result of trying to get deals with the major record companies to allow YouTube to continue to exist. In it's early days YouTube completely ignored copyright, and the music industry had all the cards when

You can often pick stuff up at a local store - e.g. certain couriers have deals with local supermarkets. It sometimes means pick ups are cheaper than the standard paid options.

Why does it need to support operating systems at all? If it's got an HDMI connector, I'd like it to support HDMI specification signals no matter how I generate them (blu-ray player, set top box, camera etc.)

The Junior Eurovision song contest has an interesting system - you must vote for 3 of the 12 entries. Voting for only 1 or 2 is not allowed. I'd be interested to see analysis of this. I don't think it's a good idea for govern

What about Paraguay? It's been running on 100% renewable electricity since the late 1980s, and it has a larger population. In fact you could say it is running on 300% renewable electricity, because it has large Hydro electric dam, expo

The Paralympic movement does something like this, and it's hard, e.g. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-57404811 . There's actually a campaign in wheelchair tennis to allow players who don't actually

This. The tools that do work are ones that add a simple extra function (git absorb is really cool, for example), or GUIs that help you visualise the repository and give you buttons that have the same names as the command lines that they rep

No, IMHO you are doing things right. I virtually never use those commands, I've been using git for well over 10 years, and have totally got used to all it's quirks.

Just delete the bits you don't want and `git add` It helps a lot to set: git config --global merge.conflictstyle diff3 then you can see the before as well as the 2 changes you are trying to resolve.

There is no doubt that a bunch of the general commands are really poorly named, or mixed together. `git checkout branch` means switch to a branch - that's fine. But `git checkout filename` means "undo changes to the file". Wh

gitk (and similar) are great for browsing the history and figuring out what is going on. I couldn't live without it.

You can use other algorithms in these cases, and you can do things like converge your interval on a result by testing different values and seeing if the result is above the root or below the root, (or if it's within the error, so not p

The tamper resistance is less important if you don't have to enter your PIN. The protocols are secured from the card to the bank - the card has a CPU on board. Tampering with the NFC reader doesn't really get you anything. Tamperi

How do I know that the device is really running your mobile app, not a copycat app and the real app is running on a device under the table or elsewhere? Seems like an easy thing to fake.

What do you mean by using your PIN "feels more secure". It's more secure for the retailer, but it's less secure for you. Any time you have to enter your PIN you are putting yourself at risk of someone seeing it. It could

I'm not going to enter my PIN into someones mobile unless I have a way of verifying the app they are using is really the app it says it is. I can't see how that could possibly work.

Kids who are taught less formal maths end up doing better at questions that have extra information to throw you off. The distance from Boston to Portland by water is 120 miles. Three steamers leave Boston, simultaneously, for Portland. One
