Tbh...with the kind of politics in the world, I won't be surprised if US is doing the same to Israelis or some other country. Another example would be Turkey bugging the Saudi Embassy in Khashoggi killing. But the other thing that irks

I think we should hold our judgements for a bit longer. It is yet to be seen how the looming recession affects the cryptocurrency demand.

The theory of gay gene couldn't have been supported by the evolutionary algorithms. Natural selection means that a trait like male homosexuality, if it had a genetic component, couldn't have persisted over evolutionary time if the

* eliminates the need for front-end development on static sites I have been using it since its beta days for my blog and some mockups and am not sure I agree. It is one of the finest 'web design tool' that I have ever used. But on

Exact reason why we migrated a webflow site to Next.js/GraphQL/Contentful/Hasura stack. Webflow is an awesome design tool, but the exported code is very messy to work with. If are a designer or plan to stay on webflow for sim

By that logic, gold should be worthless. It isn't. Bitcoin will probably never be a currency equivalent to fiat, but it surely is a store of value in the long term.

More than the immigrants or capitalism , I would boil it down to breaking up of the family as the fundamental building block of society. The 'very recent' social engineering has thrown western societies in a depressive state. Even

Interesting. The Republic of China's most recent request for admission was turned down in 2007,[1] but a number of European governments—led by the United States—protested to the UN's Office of Legal Affairs to force the global bod

I can recall from a personal experience while working for a UN agency. We had a form with country dropdown selector, and it included Taiwan. We had huge pressure from the local Chinese embassy to remove it. And they also called up some real

I am not sure about the local bylaws around trespassing, but the lady on the police helpline categorically asked me to not do it. It was being pinged in a gang prone area, I wouldn't have done it anyway.

Well...a bit off topic but kind of relevant. My car got broken into and my iPad nicked. I was able to locate that, however, the cops here in NZ were really unhelpful. They said the GPS location wouldn't be sufficient for a search warra

I have both models, I discovered it in the manufacturing label and was surprised as well. Turns out Segway is owned by Ninebot and a large chunk of Ninebot is owned by Xiaomi. In terms of build quality, both are pretty similar. Here is the

Funnily enough, both m365 and Ninebot model you are referring to, are made by the same company.

Seems like a desperate attempt by Bird owing to the inherent flaws in the business model. The pricing is wrong, one could really buy good scooters at that price band. What were they smoking?

I think censorship is not going to fix the issue, people have the right to see and face evil if they so wish to and have a strong heart. I am from NZ and a muslim and have watched the video myself an hour after the incident, I know people p

Apple missed the boat on a tablet running macOS. It's pointless to even try and fill the gap created by their mistake. Because when I boot my device, I want to get to work ASAP rather than configuring 10 things.

Being a leaf driver, this would have been a good deal for me only if they could make it about 20% cheaper. Sad to see it go.

I can speak of similarities. Both in India and China, programmers are basically 'bred' out of an assembly line like education system. Which means you find programmers with no passion or love of their craft. Which means it's r
