When I lived in the UK I went to a dentist who recommended to treat 5 or 6 cavities. I only wanted a check-up as I planned to fix anything in Poland which I regularly visited. There I heard that only 2 were actually something worth taking c

Isn't it that downloading is not illegal if you own the content already? If you're downloading and uploading at the same time it's different since you might be facilitating a download for someone who hasn't purchased it.

When chosing a phone there should be a security metric reflecting how much time and money has been spent on security, researches and bug bounty programs. This error looks so trivial! As a long time Google Pixel user, I honestly don't f

Have you tried some therapy? Talking to a specialist who will ask the right questions could be a way, like for any other troubling moment in your life. Having such strong emotions is likely originating from some trauma or fear - are you awa

Shitty experience. Shame on Airbnb. no amount of noble words on billboards can fix this. Maybe they somehow spy on their users hence the appeal process would reveal that they know more than should.

I jumped ships to customer company and it proved great. That being said my non compete agreement didn't apply because there was 2 proxies in between so no direct competition. Better work agreement, also meant I could move countries, di

I think the market is flooded with supplements, while you can help your gut bacteria with natural products like kefir (kind of buttermilk), kombucha, kimchi like products. I happen to love all those mentioned.

Haha, good luck! Some people say working for the big ones is a golden cage. Maybe I'm made for living in the wild ;)

I recently failed interviews at Google and Amazon, exactly at this sort of algorithmic problems. And that's quite far from my client application daily job. I knew it's not my strong side, I would have applied before they approache

"Don't let virtues learned by necessity become the vices that suck up your lifetime." I really like this line. It resonates with me as this quote from Henri Bergson (from memory, can't find exact quote) ~ "tools we

I feel sorry for his family and it shouldn't happen. Maybe Amazon conditions and procedures aren't good enough, but people should pay attention to their bodies telling them something is off. When you're 49 it's no longer

regarding that 6% tax for innovation in IT - be warned, our governing idiot party is about to introduce a bunch of new laws, including a de facto increase of that 19% to 28%.

I never stops to surprise me when I reach for a book in a bookstore, just to see it mentioned here the next day.

You can say the only reason you can be efficient at work is you don't think about it when you're home. We're all different, we have different needs, no one can demand you change how you're wired ;)

Actually I think the EU recently passed a law that bans not counting data use toward specific domains to allow competition. It makes much sense with your comment.

I'm sorry, I did not mean "ban". What I meant was "block". On one occasion I'm pretty sure he responsed to somebody with "virtue signalling" followed by a block, which seemed ridiculous on a platform

It makes sense to me. I had a pretty tough time going through Covid - bear in mind I really took care of my vit D intake, sun exposure and healthy food, exercise in months before. One thing I always lack is probably sleep. And then - living

Simple Android app for reading stuff with Sans Forgetica, the memory boosting font from smart folks of RMIT Melbourne University. It supports Open Dyslexic font too, for people with dyslexia. What's your experience with Sans Forgetica?

I think whoever might want to kill a public figure has at least few better ways to do it discreetly. Drone attack is either some amateurs with limited budget or an attempt to attrack attention and stir shit up.

It could be a proximity sensor at home, a token of some kind, that you need to touch your camera with, say once a month to keep it going. A stolen camera like this would become useless after a month. Once it becomes common knowledge, it cou

In such scenario you should be able to have a secondary password. Once you type it in, your phone unlocks but is also getting flagged (should look exactly like normal unlock). I know it would be scarry thing when you're at gunpoint..

To piggyback this topic - I think cameras should feature an equivalent of iCloud lock. These are things worth thousands of dollars, and are dead easy to sell on once stolen. I would sign a petition that would convince camera makers to add a
