My kids started with the ipod touches and then on to the ipad when it came out. They got the mini a few years ago. They had touch screens since they were infants. I am a bit jaded with the technology. The experience is too removed from the

It isn't about the software. Ofcourse voting software can be made reliable. But how do you trust they are reliable? How do you verify them? How do you verify the surrounding systems? It is a dead giveaway if planes start falling out of

It isn't that software engineers are bad at their jobs. Information and matter happen to have very different properties when it comes to resisting modification and showing evidence of tampering at our current level of technology. It is

Some vps services block 25 as well but it is usually configurable. The monthly cost of a vps is a few coffees and you get much more robust hardware and environmental conditions for your server and much better management tools. I did the hom

I have spend a handful of days over a decade and a half researching or experimenting with my family mail server config. Given that experience can be useful professionally, even if only to understand the services you are purchasing it seems

I live in a semi-arid climate (BSk) with 260mm average rainfall where they grow cereal crops. We are further to the arid end of the semi-arid classification than the desert in the article though still not technically a desert climate. We ha

When visiting New Zealand I was driving through Rangipo "Desert" and it gets 1500-2500mm of rain a year. Just bad soils and volcanic desolation. I live in an area where people grow crops on around 250mm of rain a year. Though a bi

Amstrad CPC464 and CPC6128 were UK based Z80 machines. Not too bad. Mine had a little drive inbuilt and ran CPM. My first computer was a Sinclair ZX80 so anything was better than that.

They are both great solutions. Blue Origin could design the most elegant solution to their problem without a lot of compromises. SpaceX always intended reuse but originally they were going to recover boosters with parachutes. They already h

They tested that already. They can land with two just fine. There is video on their youtube channel https://youtu.be/xYYTuZCjZcE?t=2m10s where they test this. They also tested an emergency escape from the booster near maxim

Possibly booster landings were judged much less reliable than parachute landings when they originated the concept. Nobody had propulsively landed a booster that had been to space until Blue and SpaceX did it at around the same time. Before

Looks like a courier company. Very bland and corporate looking which I guess is the focus of Go as a language. It am a mediocre programmer so I really like Go, it is my main language, but it is an uninspiring language by design. This logo l

When you have a small number of systems, a small team (possibly one person) and a relatively simple configuration it can be hard to justify spending time and money on a lot of deployment and automation. It isn't that deploying systems

Dr Gregor references genuine studies and provides some good nutritional advice but he is fundamentally opposed to foods derived from farming animals as are many Internet commentators who come out of the woodwork when there is any controvers

Except for South Australia. I don't know if it was due to termites, lack of hard woods, fireproofing or an excess of steel and concrete but we embed concrete between two steel beams to create the iconic stobie pole which has doomed cou

I am in Australia and I use up and down for north and south and I agree they are nearly universal. I don't relate over and out to cardinal directions but I do use them in speech. I use over to refer to towns on the other side of the ri

I am a long way away but my impression via the media is that this is sort of what New York was like and that it was substantially cleaned up. Are there parallels and lessons to learn there or are they very different?

Thats the advice I give my kids. They don't go outside without sunscreen and hats. But I am beginning to wonder if it isn't an oversimplification. There is no doubt sun exposure is harmful but there is an absolutism that precludes

No it is an EV. The Volt was the hybrid. Confusing naming. Decent range and acceleration but no RHD model so not an option for Australia. Sad to have a GM plant going idle in Adelaide and no electric car subsidies.

I hope they got signed releases from the grown up victims whose non-consensual images were being posted. If not, then they are increasing the harm. If an a adult who valued privacy had a sex video stolen and then distributed by the police t

I love older uk shows and finding legitimate streaming content is endlessly frustrating. It might be a niche market but the promise of the Internet was it was supposed to address the long tail. So much is sitting on the shelves due to lazy

The site is very good at sourcing articles and it is an excellent resource as long as you realise he is probably ethically inclined not to promote any study which might increase the suffering of animals. I don't think that makes him a

nurtitionfacts.org is run by Michael Greger who is a vegan animal welfare crusader. Many of the articles have a factual basis but there is cherry picking to promote animal free diets so it is not an unbiased source.

Bankruptcy wouldn't be the worst outcome. Our private medical insurance and income were never considered in our treatment and while controlling health care costs is a concern everywhere I never felt it influenced the delivery of servic

The US already has the best healthcare in the world. The problem is that it isn't evenly distributed. Improving the technology without improving the distribution likely won't substantially improve the statistics relative to other

I live across the border in SA. I don't think insulation is the whole story. If it is cold I just put more clothes on. We spend nothing on heating the house. I don't know that I would want to pay more for houses to get them better

Lack of a degree didn't seem to be a problem for the electrician I had working here this morning. I can't imagine him being forced to drive for Uber. A quality education is a very good thing. I am proposing that many people are no
