Newbie questions are good. Let there always be a lot of them.

What's built not to be repaired, is bad value for money.

I was thinking it looked half finished with concrete floors :)

> Fortnightly doesn't mean anything outside of the Commonwealth

Really? I live and learn. I thought that was commonplace.

Battery life of a tablet, beats the battery life of a phone though. I usually find when I come home from work in the evenings, my phone needs rechanging and the tablet is there.

People always say C will replace C

Link to proof for Surrey crime stats/Seattle crime stats?

A/B testing is supposed to be preceded with A/A testing to help with that though?

ruby does begin, end. But maybe you were joking? ruby does ommit where it can though.

Vodafone and rubbish customer service sure tend to go together.

That was fun. I'm going to read all the rest of his stuff now. Thats dangerous linking, username223.

Yep, pretty much all of this is well known c100 years. Part of what made social welfare popular across europe. Whenever the UK forgets that, crime and riots go back up. Crime is caused by poverity and inequality. Countries that push back against inequality and poverity have crime reductions.

Frighteningly book sellers are also trashing a lot of books they are unable to sell at a profit. So when the laws change the books may not exist to be maintained.

This seems likely since it was used for that back in the UK. Also the flowers were used for making dye.

Seems to be artificially created by access to money for funding.

They leave your package outside your door? That's not ok.

Kia kaha out to his family and friends.

This is really really funny. The only person I could imagine writing this before I saw this was Michael dell. Most people around the world who worked for him have nothing good to say about him. And he is another one who was caught for doing illegal business practices.

They might not know it changed hands again and is being maintained.

Ireland is usually industrious without long hours. There was a UK based study on it recently that gave positive results. I can't find the link at the moment.

Depending on the region, it can be common enough to be annoying. Your second point would be the reason why id just not start swipping, if I need to stop in order to type, id rather just keep typing. Typing is more natural from being used to the keyboard anyway

I'm pretty sure I read of a method that works even with air gap https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/10/air_gaps.html

Yes but swiping does not work particular well if the words you use are not in the dictionary already.

How is Uber's brand not poison by this point? Obvious problem of not taking care of ones customers keeps turning up.

Hmm. Not really. But privacy still comes into data management and storage. Where you back up to and when and what protocal it uses, when you are recording/taking pictures of whose work in what room. I might be allowed to take all the pictures I like of my work, but I might not have permission to do the same of my co-workers. Or a picture of my coworker eating a sandwich in the wrong place in a lab, might open up a univeristy/lab to a lawsuit.

For example I think not everyone would like anyone in their lab (including vistors) being able to record their work without permission.

Not being able to adapt the code to ensure that these will be followed without people needing to think about it, is a weakness.

Not open sourcing it was a mistake.

They could have fixed the privacy issues by simply making a loud noise and flash if you took a picture. That would bring it in line with european/japanese/chinese laws against creepers. The fact they never fixed that, made it seem like a "creeper product". Who wants to be seen like that? Who would buy ? Very limited number.

To be honest, I don't think many people doubted that Russian submarines were in its water. China would have been a surprise. The USA, unsurprising except that its reported
