There are lots of mods in the game. After finishing a 'vanilla' game I played with Bob's mods which make the game a lot more complex.

These are low-end devices, the system-on-chip uses at most 20W. Add in memory, etc and you don't get that far. I'm sure they've run their numbers.

I believe the problem was not the bandwith usage (which would be saved by a CDN) but the way CocoaPods is using git that generates a lot of CPU expensive operations. Things that GitHub suggested help with that: faster check for updates, bre

It's also being used in scripts. In our Mac CI environment (for iOS builds) we update homebrew to have the latest xctool.

Companies pay profit tax, not income. Since employee compensation is an expense, the tax rate has nothing to do with it. The employees do pay income tax, quite a lot of it.

It's entirely possible at FB/Google/Apple/etc. They definitely have H1B employees earning that much and I'm sure they are not looking to outsource those jobs. They are looking for quality not the cheapest possible p

What do you mean ? The shorter term you look the more noise there is. I'm not sure that it's exactly the same 1y period, you are just averaging out a lot of funds. I would say the fact that ETFs overperformed on a long term means

But it's clearly not banned quick enough if he can get to #16 and have >1M downloads. I can't believe that happened in a few days. Every reupload would start from 0 users.

From the article "1 and 3 years returns are mostly noise". He focuses on a longer term since it's a much better comparison. On a growing market it's much easier to overperform the index but then get wiped when a crash ha

I don't want to turn this into yet another housing debate. SF (and especially SV) is generally low density. You can easily double the density and you would be nowhere near Manhattanization.

It's called a cashless exercise. You exercise and sell the stock right away so you don't need to have the money to buy. However the problem is most startups in this case are not liquid so you cannot sell your shares (with some exc

There is no tax implication right away after 1y. It's only when they get converted to actual shares (which you can sell) you are taxed. In an IPO case that might be a few months after the IPO (still before the usual 6m IPO lockdown). I

Some companies decide to reprice the options and/or grant more options to help with retention. Also companies with high valuation and closer to an exit give out RSUs (so strike price 0).

It doesn't, Uber processes their payments themselves. You don't have to pay the Apple tax for physical goods or services.

You need to signup & login but the account is free. Unlike Openzone or others which are not free (in $) for everyone.

Some new buildings are wired by OpenReach with FTTP. What amazes me is that Hyperoptic sells 1gbps internet over OpenReach fiber but BT only sells 300mbps (at a higher price) http://arstechnica.co.uk/information-technology&#

You can totally use CocoaPods to add and update Fabric https://docs.fabric.io/ios/fabric/cocoapods.html . I'm not sure if this still requires the Fabric app but I didn't have issues with it.

On a long haul international flight ? I doubt it. It's hard to find even mile redemption availability.

FYI it's built using Swift and ReactiveCocoa. They put up all the dependencies licenses in Settings so I made a list of the packages they use https://gist.github.com/ropiku/b259f35060a40eab1597 .

You would only need one per alliance. You still need to fly quite a lot to get even first level status if you are flying economy and spreading around in multiple airlines. That won't get you much, not even lounge access which is a big

But it wouldn't be just the US. It would be any other country, and not just the country's citizens. "Why should there be a virtual space where people can hide from US/China/Russia/Saudi Arabia/etc."

Data caps should go up as people move to more spectral efficient technologies. Even as carriers fight it, competition slowly makes data caps bigger.

The problem is even if they could be profitable, they choose to invest all the money they can in growing rather than making a profit. So it's hard to know.

Since those flights are not on the same booking it's not a connecting flight and they don't have to help you. They might, but if they don't there's nothing you can do about it.

If you pay or if you have a plan with a partner mobile carrier it saves your credentials and autoconnects. Other SSIDs like "EE-Auto" use EAP-SIM authentication.
