You're right, that is fairly pedantic. Nothing can be proven 100% safe (except maybe water?). That doesn't mean a more conservative approach shouldn't be taken when new products enter the market for user consumption.

The UK still shows the packs (for now).

I'm sorry I don't want to sacrifice my life and dreams because some people are slow learners. But it's OK, because the next generation will not suffer. /s Give me a break.

They've probably lost you but their business model is not shrinking, at all. Far from it. >>> By not maximising the short-term ad-impressions (or other short-term) metric, Google increases odds of being there when people are i

Google got so big because it didn't "cram ads down people's throats all the time", I don't know why you think that. Are you saying Google should drop Maps, Gmail, Drive and all the rest because they are not valuable

Yes but then why would they ever offer such services without monetisation opportunities?

Well not really, my "normal" laptop folds 180, it would be great for touch but it just isn't. For the record, I don't just use touch just in "tablet mode". A quick click here, a slide there, it's great, ev

Having both a hybrid and regular PC, I have to admit that I find myself regularly reaching for the screen on both. Natural is relative.

I think there are laws that would prevent BBC worldwide being funded by tax payers.

by vilmosi 10y ago
The international part of the BBC is funded by ads. The simplest solution to not make British citizens pay for it is to block it. Apparently.

What do you mean without any JS necessary? You are introducing a JS library that does that for you, which defeats the point. Even bootstrap does that. It doesn't mean it's necessary. I can find a lot of "no code necessary&quo

I don't think that's true. Why are they even publishing these numbers then? Even when it's not helping their image.

Quotas may very well be legal, hiring someone specifically to fill those quotas is not, as that is discrimination. Think about it, if it was that easy, why aren't these tech giants already doing it?

Not deliberately. They simply hire the best person for the job at a particular job opening. For whatever reason, the majority is of a particular gender.
