My understanding is that you do have the right to know who complained about your compliance under Bill 101. Anyways, I don't think it's asking much to have your website/blog/frontend in the language of the province where

I wonder if he had held on to the wheel would he have been able to counteract the turning?

Yeah, but I see people using cards contactlessly (oof..) but rarely using their phone, and when I do it seems clunky and awkward...

I haven't used it -- Is Pokemon Go a big data hog? from screens it looks like simple maps - no bitmaps and images from the camera, so no data there...

If barely anyone uses it then how is it a game changer? Please update us in a few months with usage statistics.

I think the more likely scenario is they know the value of the conversations they datamine, but don't want to lose customers to these other message apps that tout their encryption. So they do the bare minimum to support encryption whil

Do you still need to be in the windows fast lane preview for access to bash on windows? I want to try this but im a bit hesitant to run the earliest of beta software on my only productivity machine...

I see this as the end game to pretty much all these companies that claim to enable the 'sharing economy'. Why share 20% of your profits with Uber when you can share them with yourself?

Are they grouping those people by race? That's racism.

I have line of sight to the building where I work, I would love something like this so I could get gigabit internet at home w/o paying through the nose :)

I was on board w/ 29.95$ for an android app, I balked at $60 for the windows version.

Cool, I'm going to check it out later today.

It isn't clear from the description, but does this allow you to have tasks become 'triggered' for lack of a better term once a task has been completed? eg I want my task list in the morning to say make eggs and bacon, then on

And now watch for a glut of 'Choose your Own Adventure'-style books on KU.

There's atleast 15% wiggle room on each journey, seeing as Uber takes 20% off the top. Aside from their expenses promoting and competing with other 'ride sharing' services I don't see where that cash is going.

No, I don't. But I'm not in the US and Amazon doesn't really present that great a deal once you factor in shipping, taxes, duty etc. I don't shop at Walmart though, because of their poor track record treating their emplo

All other things being equal I'll go with the service that gives more to the person doing the actual labour.

I really think Buzzfeed is on to something. It's far more palatable to see an entertainment site foray in to legitimate journalism than to see a respectable news outlet stoop to clickbait headlines.

Cool, looking forward to the next post.

It's ridiculous that they had so much information online at all.

Yeah that was some information that was missing earlier.

I think badges only work if there is actual wealth/value behind them. No one will use them as true status symbols, rather just fun things, and they should be priced as such. What I think twitter should do is act as a notary of sorts, a

So, is this 100% going to keep my information private?

I'm certainly not in the market for a webserver with lua support, but if I were I would definitely be looking at nginx first. May I suggest that you make a subsection/table that delineates why someone would go for this rather than

The bezels for each window are crazy. If tablets and phones can detect when my ear is near to the screen they should be able to know when my finger is nearing the screen then overlay some buttons, but otherwise dedicate that screen space to

And they are completely correct. Even if people aren't able to bypass the HDMI encryption (which they will), a camera recording at 60fps at the screen will produce a near perfect copy, certainly 'good enough' for most people.

I wonder if they limited the drive in software to 314gb and it's just a 500gb drive in reality. I have no idea how actual disks are produced and whether or not it's feasible to make specific platters for each product. In any case
