I've always been skeptical of where my digital tips are going. Even in local restaurants if I have the cash, I'll write "cash" on the tip line for the credit card receipt and tip in cash.

Russia is also a large market where Google isn't dominant. And there's no regulatory reason for that, Google just has a worse Russian search product than Yandex. In Korea too, Naver is winning.

I worked at Yelp 2 years ago and can say that the main reason is definitely because web traffic is not reliable, it changes with Google ranking changes. And Google and Yelp are not good friends. They are super concerned with not dying if

I used to help teach a undergraduate senior design course, and the number of students who want to do exactly this is staggering. I don't know if its really that bad of an idea, but we didn't allow projects that had been done befo

There is an Iran ban, call it whatever you like. The existence of a list at a certain point in time doesn't mean anything if the current administration is the one that uses it in a policy it created itself. School visas are the foot in

I think 100 refers to total 100 shares of an original story, not 100 levels of share. (Example: You can hit 100 shares in 2 levels of share. You have 100 friends share your story, each share reaches their 100 friends. That's only 10,00

It's best to assume all passwords need to have sufficient entropy to withstand a brute-force attack on some super fast hash until proven otherwise. I didn't change my macOS password to 8-characters (to save myself 20 seconds a day

I'm speculating that if that happened, we'd see more stories like this one.

Off-topic, but what is the point of having a mini ethernet port if you still need a dongle anyway? USB ethernet adapters are cheap. They could just kill the port and save some pennies.

Just hand over your papers. As a tourist people will be nice enough, but you should expect searches and to obey authority like if you were visiting China or Russia. This kind of thing happens to residents who are trying to push for change i

It's not horrible, but it just takes too long to learn as an auxiliary language. Just as the most powerful software usually loses market share to the easiest.

I agree that city gun ordinances do little to combat gun availability for criminals, that's why we need nation wide legislation.

anecdote: I did a google team match two months ago as a new grad and was asked if I would be interested in "Search Infrastructure". I said yes and got set up with 5 calls with different Google Assistant teams.

It looks like the Long scale is falling into disuse in English speaking contexts from that article. I don't ever think I've ever seen the word "billion" in English refer to 1e+12 .

Is this even a little surprising? Most people I know aspire to similar career paths as their parents, or adults around them in high school. If the careers of adults who are around you growing up didn't require college, why would you go

Even at current levels, BTC's built in block rewards dominate tx fees (12.50BTC built in + 1.38 tx fees). The 12.5 built in reward is essentially a subsidy for mining.
