Adjusting prices according to local purchasing power is a reality in the business. Amazon prime, Netflix, iCloud are the first ones coming in to my mind.
Why wouldn't poor street seller take advantage of it?
In the article : "Yet only 8% of the distance travelled by land in the EU is by rail. Even in the most train-happy countries, Austria and the Netherlands, the figures are 13% and 11%. In those countries, more than 75% of land travel is done by car. "
Yes, more than 75% of land travel is done by car because trains are incredibly expensive.
yet I see in the discussions that we should make flying more expensive. Trains are not really competing with airplanes, but personal cars!
Yes there are plenty of start-ups doing this. You can also use AWS's build-in functionality to achieve this. You can write a Lambda function which checks your server status. Even better which calls your end-point for health check if you want more detailed monitoring
It is not an evil thing to have "google search by default" and fund this browser with the money from google. Because people don't want to pay for it. Firefox doesn't stop you from changing the default search engine easily.
It does not need to read the body of email in order to work. It can index just the header(to, date, subject) or you can use a program on your computer locally to keep your emails and index&search them.
Why not to have a 1 hour technical conversation and figure out if the person knows what you are talking about? Talk about data structures/algorithms/design patterns/OOP 10 minutes for each, plus language specific points if you want and it should be enough.
In the article they are stating that Vodafone users can not access to proton services. They have written they have seen some complaints from other ISP users as well but there is neither a statement nor a clue that it is blocked by other ISPs as well. After all, the fact is that it is not blocked by other ISPs only by Vodafone.
What I don't understand is if it is a "government-ordered block", which wouldn't be surprising, why is it limited to Vodafone users? I would expect half-government hold TTNet and even Turkcell to block as well.
Given that those benchmarks running on operating systems, the software(OS) matters.
>And old iPhones remain usable longer than old Android phones.
It depends which Android phone you are comparing with. If you compare with a flagship, it should be head-to-head. But i think that is because of stability/efficiency of iOS over android.
I don't know if you ever used a decent windows phone. But I can tell you that my Lumia 1020 was way more stable, smoother and user friendly than my Samsung Note 5.
