I once tried to book flights on a popular airline website. I used four different web browsers and each one displayed the content differently, all resulting in "unexpected error". The only browser that would work was chrome, it displayed the "missing" field (date of birth)...

Nice one! I just signed up myself :) keep it up

Wow a fellow Aussie! Good read.

Correct. I believe the dangers with American football is the use of the helmets in particular. It allows for tackles that normally would not be possible without the attackee injuring themselves. Refer to Rugby or Australian Football for comparisons.

Wow -- that is very fascinating !

Qualify for 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Good read. A similar scenario that always boggles my mind is password complexity. It always seems so simple until you work out you need till the end of the time to crack it!

Amazon is testing 5G.

The 3.5Ghz band has already been proposed by telcos in Australia. Will be implemented in the next year on certain towers.

[Reference: check ACMA tower database]

Because all bubbles eventually go pop.

This is so sad alexa play despacito

You will find that (depending on gym) a surprisingly large portion do take steroids or have tried them at stages, for that very reason you said. Progress is slow!!!

And people wonder how movie stars can put on so much bulk for film roles so quick... Hmmmm I'll leave that up to the reader to interpret.

Assembly is so beautiful.

What features do you miss out on by using SMS?

Nice job! Excuse my ignorance, But what's the difference between a micro startup and just a hobby project?

I really like this quote!

Really interesting that touch typing is a skill lacking!

Maybe it was growing up on age of empires that improved my typing.

At age 8 I typed 32wpm At age 12 I typed 120wpm

Typing speed never really improved beyond that, occasionally hit bursts of 140+wpm but eh. Regular qwerty non mechanical keyboard.

It's so weird because as a long time fedora user I absolutely detest Ubuntu. Can't stand how bloated it's become.

Why does KFC need so much storage ?! /s

This is exactly right , I feel like a lot of problems mentioned in this thread are a result of hiring the cheapest engineer/developer/etc.

Telstra, Australia's largest telecommunications provider did something similar many years ago. They had to spent X times more and hire locals to fix the code.

But who would want to buy a car that was made in a tent?

My MacBook Pro late 2011 model suffered from the GPU flaw less than a week after Apple's "free repair" window ended. This repair window only existed because apple failed to recognise it and a class action lawsuit resulted.

Even after a repair it's never truly fault free, due to refurbed motherboards being used.

That was the end of my relationship with apple.

Sapiens is a great book!

We became domesticated by wheat.

As a fellow Aussie living on the main land - Tassie is absolutely gorgeous. I'd love to work remotely from Tassie and live on a big farm. Oh boy... One can dream.

Hi! I did something similar a few years ago,instead I used python and machine learning algorithms + custom ELO implementations for tennis matches. Unfortunately it worked too well and I was banned from all the bookmakers.

I'm curious - this is hypothetical. What if you were a millitary contractor and had work on your laptop. And they asked to search it and hand over password. What would happen then? Assuming they would need clearance to view certain files.

48 hours later , $310 share price. Thanks for the downvotes, just made a quick $10K.

Sure is! :)

And from that I can track down your social media accounts, perhaps your forum accounts, you most likely have the same username/identifier for all forums, correct? Now I know everything about you.

Also important to emphasise that once you know someone's user/email you can cross reference against leaked database dumps to reveal passwords. They might have changed them since on X website but may not on other sites.

If anyone wants to profit off this - buy TSLA calls!!! 290 strike price.
