I think the key word there is compulsory - I've lived in a couple of those places and it was pretty easy to get a drivers-license level of ID document without too much trouble (and without having a drivers license of my own).

I got that, but it was from the office firewall considering it to be a malicious site

Yep! I grew up in French-speaking Switzerland.

I experienced this a lot while growing up in a country with ~4 national languages - I spoke one of them well, but sadly only about 20% of the population speak it, so most websites will default to using the bigger national language (~70% pop

Ah that sounds rough! The contractors at my company aren't from agencies, they get paid more in place of getting company benefits. Didn't realise there were other kinds - Thanks for explaining!

Isn't that a call you make when you sign on as a contractor though? At least at my company, contractors make a boatload more money, with the provision that you don't get any of the normal benefits provided by the company.

Genuinely curious - what do you do?

It's awesome to see some more players in this space. I've been keenly watching out for Modern Meadow's updates as well. Looking forward to seeing what this will bring!

I'm curious about the magnetic mount. Doesn't that mean you can just walk up and take the camera? EDIT: Apparently it has an anti-theft alarm, so your camera theft will also require bagging it I suppose.

I can also recommend using NSP [0] to check your .lock files for security issues, for what it's worth. [0] https://disjoint.ca/til/2017/11/10/managing-package-dependen...

The article and the title don't seem to match. This title is misleading.

I also second the reordering - You have lots of interesting experience, make it the most prominent thing there by putting it at the top!

The one thing I can recommend making your resume more visually appealing. In its current state it's a very bare document and to me looks more like a bullet outline of a resume. This could mean you come off as not having put a lot of ef

Doesn't this affect all of their CPUs going a long way back? And how do you recall embedded or laptop CPUs, which are often soldered in-place? A recall would be great, but there's no way they'd be able to do it. Vehicle recal

I don't know a tremendous amount about cell towers, but I was under the impression that they couldn't very accurately pinpoint locations - I was thinking more of a [foxhunting]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tr

As an alternative it'd be nice to see some higher-tech GSM detection technology that allowed them to pinpoint the phones (or at least be aware of their presence).

Aren't the snakes supposed to be received negatively? i.e. you don't want to land on them?!

Some people don't recognise that they aren't ceremonial. There are a couple of sensationalised arrest videos where somebody's trying to make a big deal out of being 'aggressed' by the Queen's Guard.

I love it, but my minor nitpick is that if you press tab for auto-complete it jumps up and back down again (in Firefox, anyway)

My understanding is that you will already be ranked lower on search engines. My main concern with this happening is that browsers are going to get a reputation for being 'alarmist', so when something really goes wrong, they won&

This was my reaction. This article seems to be training people to get their engineers to devlop completely unmaintainable projects, and generally make the managers trust the engineers less.

The living costs are also extremely high there (Also in a SF spirit) - For an impression of this see the big mac index.
