What difference does that make? As we've seen in USA, a job that has always been filled by career politicians or soldiers has been filled by a man famous for being on tv. On the other hand this guy was in a relevant position. Is being

Some would call it civil disobedience or demanding the standards they've come to expect.

Can you tell me about being a technical writer? I've written some documentation and intend to do more.

Interesting. I made it to the grass field and couldn't progress. What is the aim or theme of it?

The parts run by the local government (Transport for London) are cheaper than or required to be the same as the private franchises organised by the national government. The TfL parts are far better, I think that even if they were the same p

London, cities in Europe in general have good transport but not great housing options. London just overtook the pre war population (within a green belt set just after the war). Nearly everywhere is within a mile of a station, only one tiny

Most if not all of the EV car manufacturers offer long warranties. Components are replaced. The better companies like Telsa do recalls over efficiency improvements, and over the air software upgrades.

When you say alientube for all websites I think this replaces comment threads from websites (eg Disqus on blogs) with Reddit comments from where that site was submitted to Reddit. That would be something I install. This looks nice but like

You're used to the climate you grew up in and changing from that can be a waste of time. There's plenty of interesting places all over the world north of any line you choose, say 48 degrees north (adjusting for Gulf Stream, etc).

I see two solutions to that problem. 1) Don't vote for Trump. 2) Have a considerably more or entirely anonymous voting. I don't know the specifics of how UK does it, but it's simpler, less tracking without fraud.

-O is one of few curl options I've memorised. It downloads to a file named the same as the source.

The motivation for moving to chip and pin is that the banks take this kind of risk away from the merchant.

I hear the exact opposite is true, that in some large US chains earlier in its lifetime an Apple Pay competitor paid the retailers to not provide Apple Pay facilities in favour of theirs. In UK the same object takes chip+pin and NFC of any

In that case I'm surprised the judges are permitted to ask this sort of question in public, it creates a warrant canary.

Trying to get back in the government's good books by being one of very few voices in tech saying this? I'd like to know this position in more detail, as he seems to be pro weaker iOS but anti backdoor. It feels too much of a theor

The sub-surface lines in London are about to finish changing over to new trains. These look a lot like the images in the article, differences include that the flexible area between carridges is full width and height. We have air cooling (th

Facebook and many other major US tech companies comply with the EU standards for their own benefit as well as customer trust. The searches themselves are de-anonymizing, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOL_search_data

You can (or could when I used it) but it's coded to ignore some files. MP3 was the one I wanted to scan but couldn't.

EU would be angry and probably wouldn't let us back under exactly the same terms. I suspect we'd be offered (and begrudgingly accept) slightly more inclusive terms such as taking more refugees, no rebate and still out of Schengan&

What's the thinking behind these predictions?

So what happens in the (potentially short) period before the government deems that as excessive? Assume for a moment that they costed it out and it's sustainable.

How does the repeal of Glass-Steagall fit into that?

The new owners won't be allowed to raise the prices and the whole thing is guaranteed by the government. It seems likely that it'll still be considered a public organisation like National Rail.

I was thinking prepending and appending aren't rearranging.

Mine is changed for Heroku, but it only prepends. I've never seen $PATH be rearranged.

When would the order of $PATH vary?

Also contentiousness and aid-giving of countries. Germany doesn't declare war, and only does any kind of war through NATO. It also gives a lot. Both of these apply to all the high scoring European countries. For USA it's probably

The material doesn't need to be hidden from the world (ISP at most) because it's already public material. It includes checksums in the protocol at a more appropriate frequency. Plus (some) SSL has only just become hardware acceler

Supersonic flight isn't permitted over UK land either. Concorde got to the Irish Sea/Atlantic Ocean for the boom, and could do similar with the Atlantic or either side of Long Island. LAX to anywhere not in NA/Europe would al
