Third party apps can handle payment however they want (e.g. gambling apps) but I would expect apps downloaded from the play store not to work if they are connect via play services

There is surely some location in the Australian outback that would meet this criteria, as we have quite little seismic activity

I can understand not wanting more actors that can initiate MAD. I sure would feel safer if my country had nuclear weapons, but the risk of every sovereign being armed is too high.

A number of years ago I trialled a reverse look-up using this method (for both mobile numbers and email) as a grey hat project for a data aggregator I contracted to validate existing email / phone pairings (bad email and numbers gets you banned quickly by dispatch partners).

It worked because the returned "is this you" image at the time returned a filename that was a base64 encoding of the users ID for the graph interface, which at the time pulled back a surprising amount of info if you query the key directly (obtaining the key generally required you to be a friend-of-friend or closer).

I got hit rates of about 70% for a sample of ~100,000 email/mobile pairs (that were already suspected to be valid).

Sounds like the trick to get the key has been resolved (I was too early in my career to feel comfortable disclosing my research) but I am surprised a similar vector exists almost a decade on - especially after the whole Cambridge Analytica fiasco.

"Receiving messages in order might increase latency."

It would be good to know what sort of overhead we are looking at here; very interested in this feature

The articles and sources from the articles you have linked seem to refute the claim that the virus was artificially engineered from scratch; rather than having a lab accelerated evolution towards 'desireable traits' for human infection that TFA is suggesting

TSV, CSV, PSV etc. all share the same class of problem. The important thing is that you are quoting your fields and escaping your quotes, regardless of the symbols used.

I enjoyed wolframs framing of the problem, yes it wasn't peer reviewed or asserting new claims - but everyone is acting like it was.

I think it's a cool idea that may have results in the future, which is how I felt he presented it.

Australia was already at war from '39 and against Japan since '41.

I can't reply to your comment, rectang, so I hope this will suffice.

You will notice I did not call out anyone for denying help to make rape victims, merely that I believe bad actors exist in all facets of society. I by no means am putting down the hard work of the heroes who give their time to help people. I find your black and white response just as disgusting, to ignore that people can take positions of power over others and abuse them.

As for naming names, I have given an example of an organisation I find abhorrent.

I personally believe that some charities / relief services in almost all areas are in it for the money.

Of course, my beliefs don't amount to anything other than researching who I personally give money to, but I do not find it far-fetched to believe that some agencies act in bad faith; I have a hard time aligning with the false memory syndrome foundation for example.

I guess this comes down to whether a country is its government or its people.

Looks amazing! How often can we expect new issues and do you expect around the same volume of content each issue ?

Edit: I can see it's quarterly in FAQ

Currently 404 for me, was the site up ?

It returns to the known unknown of dark matter on a few galaxies than a new unknown unknown on the remainder of the universe.

Can wait for confirmation, wichert's comment on the original thread[1] (that I can't link to directly for some reason) mentions the gcloud listing these regions as affected:

" gcloud tells me:

WARNING: The following zones did not respond: us-west2, us-west2-a, southamerica-east1-c, us-west2-b, southamerica-east1, us-east4-b, us-east4, us-east4-a, northamerica-northeast1-c, northamerica-northeast1-b, us-west2-c, southamerica-east1-b, northamerica-northeast1, southamerica-east1-a, northamerica-northeast1-a, us-east4-c. List results may be incomplete.

Luckily for us eu-west1 seems to be working normally."

So the user's outside these zones may have been unaffected, but if this is accurate it is a large number of users affected

Thanks for sharing, that was an awesome read!

Right, so is your point that everyone experiences bias?

I was not disputing we all have an internal bias built up by our experiences. The crux of that point is you try to minimise your own bias and try to further reduce that bias by including the bias of the remainder of society.

I don't think this is a terrible way to select a political candidate.

As an aside I don't understand how a political discussion could exist without bias. What is your model of politics that would allow it to exist without bias?

Resist fingerprinting will also stop sensor data (e.g. accelerometer) from being exposed on mobile, which can be used to identify[1].

You can verify if it's exposed on this site[2].

From the information and experiences you have recieved, likely you would vote for the candidate who resonated most with your interpretation of the "truth".

Then as a society we apply the wisdom of the crowd.

Why is obtaining a follow-up email from an event impervious to being spam? Attending an event is not consent for marketing. Marking spam as spam is not being an asshole.

I know it sucks when an IP gets burned, but when you're acting in good faith it's a rarity - or has been in my experience.

It's unfortunately a reality for us down under though - so it's not beyond the realm of imagination

Provide advertising services, which I'm sure they happily exchange for $CAD

Seems to be the recurring theme to blame millennials for the hardships of the middle class globally.

I wonder if any developed countries middle class is faring well currently?

Hopefully it should be allowed on the app store, as a clone full of adware[1] has apparently shown up. It is definitely the best shell emulator I have come across for my iPad.

Thanks for the link I'll have to get my hands on a copy.

Edit: I read the preface and I had no idea about the disgusting behaviour exhibited towards the Tibetan protesters in Canberra as the Beijing torch passed through[1].

I'm on my way to work and it is actually making me feel ill.

In your opinion is the call out of Australia/China a valid comparison to Ukraine/Russia?

I always thought it was related to the aesthetic of the gothic architecture which seem to play a large part in modern goth imagery

There are no current legal restrictions as I understand, it is the decision of my provider to continue restricting this access. The restrictions are not unilateral, the largest ISP has released the restrictions.

I will be changing providers as soon as my contract allows.

I wouldn't be so sure, following the aftermath of Christchurch my network (AU) and several others have not unblocked the Chan's. I don't believe they are planning to either.
