What is so useful about a fingerprint scanner? I could see how infrared sensor like in that new Caterpillar phone could come in useful especially if you are in a building trade, but fingerprint scanner?

What is ridiculous that while these kind of KU scams abound a legitimate publisher is still unable to publish on KDP (where people pay real money for a real e-book whole) unless your language is one of the chosen few: https://kdp

Is there a way to grep for a specific country related information? This is an important leak, but I'd like to see come crowd-sourcing in this. That is we have 100 newspapers with access, but that might not be enough. We only get the co

A more objective title would have been how a side-project led to an acquihire at Automatic. It is still an inspirational story somewhat similar to path taken by patio11. Are there any side projects which actually have turned into sustainabl

This "software eating the hardware" is worrisome. It used to be that at least you could depend on the hardware staying the same unless you chose to apply patches yourself. Is it theoretically possible to change the microcode to ac

The difference is that Intel is forcing this update (via Windows updates and by forcing mobo makers hands). Don't think AMD ever had that kind of power. I am curious which AMD chips had the unlocking disabled? I am still rocking AsRock

Was going to say that in Baltics 50k a year is not a salary that an average engineer can aspire to. It is more than the premier makes.. Additional data point: UBNT is paying 36k in Riga which is an outlier at the top. I think most positions

Will there be Netflix servers/CDNs in each country? I wonder what impact this will have on cross country traffic. My country has excellent internal network but outside pipes get clogged at times..

How much of a royalty are we talking about in say 2014? Enough for a cup of coffee or for a used VW Golf? I know that it is rare for modern programming books to make much money for their authors. Thus I imagine for a highly specialized math

You sound naive but hopefully well intentioned. You need an edge, I do not think your skills in making a modern website are enough of an edge (when eBay and Amazon already make purchasing very easy) when it comes to selling products. If you

That seems incredibly low or Adsense has gotten pretty bad in 10 years. Around 2005 I had a very generic ecommerce site on which I threw some Adsense as an experiment. I was getting $200 in Adsense a month from 3,000-3,500 daily views x 30

Somehow it seems wrong to be saving 6 month salary just to get into another job (even if you enjoy it). My Euro-biased perspective is for the job to be something that you don't actively hate doing. The fun stuff(hobbies, family, etc) c

Nice catch! You have to give props for Asrock as they are frequently offering unique motherboard features (like that mini-ITX X99 etc). However, it still does not change the fact that Xeon v3 models are slower(tops at 3.9Ghz Turbo) single t

Exactly, you want to know when the error is due to memory. Intel deciding that consumers (including those buying Haswell-E CPUS) do not need ECC really irks me. Textbook market segmentation from a near monopoly. Currently you can not have y
