iOS is much worse. You aren't even allowed to install another browser. "Chrome" and "Firefox" on iOS are not real Chrome and Firefox, they are wrappers around Safari's webkit engine.

Why not just have one file per city name? Or use e.g. the first 2 characters of the city name as the hash, so that certain near misses later in the city name appear in the downloaded files.

What do you mean "They will also not remove enough of the other half of the pollutants." Surely they will remove 100% of those, plus most of the brake dust. It's true that there will be an increase in road / tyre dust du

Braking dust comes from brake pads rubbing against brake disks. Electric vehicles slow down by running the motor in reverse and recharging the battery, therefore don't use the brake pads and brake disks as much, especially at higher sp

If the nest information is tied to your address (which is clearly personal), doesn't that make it personal information?

There is a N:N relationship between Google Accounts and YouTube channels. A channel can have more than one manager and a manager can manage more than one channel. It's possible that someone at Vevo has access to many of the channels, a

This is part of the plot in the Tom Hanks film The Man with One Red Shoe. Someone suspects that there is code hidden in the music that he plays, and uses a department of defence computer to try to decode it.

It seems unlikely to me that hacking the doctor would allow precise localisation of the operating theatre within the hospital complex. It could maybe reveal there is a hospital in the area, but it's been hit 17 times before, so it does

If anyone has ever cloned the project, Github cannot hold your code to ransom because you already have a copy of it and the whole history including commit messages. That is the beauty of git. Github do have your issues and un-merged pull re

As far as I can remember from the instructions last time I voted, in Britain you can do this, just return the ballot to the person handing them out and say that you made a mistake, and they should issue you a replacement.

The point of a secret ballot is that there is nothing to stop them taking the cash, then going to the polling station and voting for someone else. Are the ballots not secret in India?

As well as the other answers here, you can control flows around grids by using a special arrangement of transformer to shift the phase of the signal. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrature_booster and here is a

There's a few things there that campaigns shouldn't do, but not much on what they should be doing instead. I wonder if there are types of appeals that do work, like maybe talking about how it affects other people rather than how i

That's a bug in Firefox or some other part of your setup - no matter what the JS of a website does, even if it is deliberately engineered to be malicious, it should not be able to cause the computer to freeze.

A version of minesweeper I used to play was called stormsweeper. I think it was written in BBC Basic and ran on RISC OS. Instead of flagging mines, you got to remove them, and the numbers of the already revealed squares were updated. Every

I think they should only retaliate on US officials (elected and who work for DHS). Ask them to reveal passwords to national secrets when they enter the country, then detain them for hours when they refuse. The general population should be w

In some circumstances a "random" button might be a nice thing to have, rather than a predictable mid-point, as it would encourage real users to sample different things from deep in the long tail. The crawler could also use this to

This reminds me of Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England. They sell expensive bottles of their mineral water in their restaurants, but it is the same water that has supplied the buildings since long before there was a municipal water supp

Is it possible to run on battery + ICE for a long range trip, or do you have to wait for the battery to deplete before the ICE kicks in? I.e. only use the battery to get the last 10-20 kph of your speed.

Why not? It would freeze between the spinning lens and the LED units. It would require maintenance or break down. You could just use a small heating element to reproduce some of the heat of the old bulb.

When the price algorithm goes above some unacceptable amount, they should just change it to "Carpool only", as it was before, and there would then be no reason for people to complain. If they made the "Carpool only" have

The article doesn't seem to say that according to my reading. The article says it is about verifying the legacy password when upgrading to a new-format password hash.

No, just make them pay the fine directly, lose their jobs and right to be company directors, and bad cases, where they turned a blind eye, actually go to jail.
