Agreed. These people are essentially bullies acting from their ivory tower of unchallengable beliefs and morals. Their non-sense such as "he holds views that are in opposition with the values of the Drupal project." actually do mo

Aside from the DDOS incidents Linode is generally very solid in connectivity department, but their communication skills when things go wrong leaves a lot of be desired - often their status page is 20+ minutes behind and has omissions. The w

It is possible extensibility will be via Google Apps Script, about as close to "freeform" code one can get in a sandbox. Google have successfully implemented Apps Script in a number of G Suite products so I would be optimistic abo

This isn't a ban by Qatar Airways. They are highly opposed to the ban. And on the water ban enforced at the airport (and sometimes the gate), Qatar Airways doesn't charge for beverages (including alcohol), they'll happily giv

Depends where I guess, certainly in Asia fast-running meters are not uncommon. To say a taxi meter is secure is like doing javascript client-side validation and no server-side whilst disabling right click. And approved by who? Vetted crypto

There are two options. The pre-paid desk upstairs or the official taxi desk downstairs where it should run on meter (you pay 2myr for the privilege of using this desk for tiny bit of blue or red paper). Either way both should be regulated,

In practice Air India seems to allow it, especially on the older jets and longer flights. Unusally long lines immediately form at toilets and don't seem to subside throughout a several hour flight. The smell of cigarette smoke is atten
