I'm a little confused as to why Grab would hire a firm to update OSM via satellite images. OSM had to be more accurate than the outdated sat. images so why was there a need in the first place?

I don't hear anyone around me but I only share one wall with another apartment and I'm on the top floor so no one above me. That said, noise leaks to and from the hallways.

Sameness at scale.

I've lived in two of these types of buildings, I live in one currently. The first one I lived in was at a big state college and was put up in very short time. The craftsmanship, or lack thereof that went into this building was very noticeable. My roommates outlet was at a 20 degree angle, the doors hollow, and the paint was very cheap.

The one I currently live in is a bit better, it's in a Midwestern state capitol and has nicer amenities but the doors are still hollow, and the paint is still cheap.

I mean both iPhone and Android do this but Google won’t pull competitors.

IPv6 is interesting, https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/ipv6/confi...

What's more important, doing important work, or thinking you're doing important work?

Enough address space for every atom on the surface of the earth.

It doesn't, Bitcoin is as safe as the security of the person who holds it. And as someone who had Bitcoin on Mt Gox, this is a moot point to argue.

Yes a nationstate does protect the value of it's money with a standing army but to imply the purpose is to protect the currency is false. The armed forces and stability of the country bring about the value of the currency, not the other way around.

My mother got a call about three years ago from a man who told her he thinks his mother is my mother's sister. Turns out my grandmother had a child at 16 and put her up for adoption. Now I have an extra aunt and she's super cool.

So what's the alternative? Even if we roll our own software we still utilize ISP lines.

GoPro has been dying for a few years, there are a ton of alternatives at much lower prices and if you're just strapping it to a bike or something no need to go top of the line.

"The platform operates under the guidance of 27 government departments..."

China loves bureaucracy.

China is really good at keeping track of dissent.

But you can't turn it off. That's the issue.

Twitter is a master class in how not to run a social media platform. They alienate their power users by shutting down APIs which break 3rd party apps. Their censorship seems to have no rhyme or reason to it. They simply do not listen to their users. No one wants "In case you missed it", or to know what someone just liked, we just want to read tweets in order they came in.

"Give us your ideas"

Not to mention Twitter would ban your IP if you did large amounts of scraping.

"In a statement, Timothy Barrett, a spokesman at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which released the annual report, said the government “has not altered the manner in which it uses its authority to obtain call detail records.” "

This is the issue, this is all legal.

This was my go to podcast app on Android, excited to see how NPR does with it.

1. Because those still haven't been taken care of

2. Because these sensationalized risks are the ones that get coverage more than the true risks

I knew Don "MindRape" Moore personally, he passed away pretty recently but he was a big influence in my life as I got into computers.

Crazy cool dude, gave himself a "snake tongue" with a pair of scissors by himself!

That was a temporary fix, then a software patch was released. I also wouldn't call that a "software" fix.

And they load so slowly that you start to read and then the text shift and now you've lost where you were.

I graduated in May from a Big 10 college with a computer technology degree.

As much as remote work seems great, I still need a senior level developer I can walk over to and ask questions of.

As well, the program I was in was in a constant state of flux, and the incoming freshmen are able to choose a lot of targeted tracks like Cyber Security, Forensics, High Performance Computing, etc. When I started there were too options: one focused on the business side and one on the engineering side.

The issue with work like this is it is very distressing. Having to look at videos and pictures of horrific acts (suicides, child porn, etc) is not a pleasant job. Many of those who do this in law enforcement (mainly child porn) have high rates of PTSD and other issues.

Which includes what?
