"Whole Foods" has earned its nickname of "Whole Paycheck" ( https://www.fastcompany.com/90305918/whole-foods-is-becoming... ) although they've tried various ways of combating this, some mentioned

I know a lot of people that don't. Now we can have an anecdote duel!

Yeah I'm honestly not sure why people would be surprised at this comparison - Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are specialty stores. Nobody goes into them just to buy a head of lettuce. Trader Joe's has their own in-store brands

Honestly? That would be awesome. I already have security cameras set up like that (although not wireless) - just home devices that do things for me and report back to a central server in my home. That server can connect to the internet (whe

"The majority of the population is Level 1" Yes, and those people might visit a website, which asks for...shudder...cookies. If you can show that the cookies do something nefarious, I'd be interested. Do you think they gene

Level 1: The people who just go to the site/download the APK Level 2: The people who realize that the requested actions are likely unsafe, and complain about it Level 3: People who realize that this is part of the challenge and just us

Of course not, it would be prohibitively difficult to deconstruct the apk from the phone itself.

Does anyone have insight on why they're making this change? All they say in this post is "In our effort to continuously improve customer experience". From my point of view as a customer, I don't really see an experientia

At 32 seconds into the video, you can see a few frames of a Google Sheet where one column is the name of the sport (you can see "Quidditch" quite a few times) and a second column is a rule, like "The Chasers are there to try

First, amazing post, I want to see a blog post of someone's day entirely like this. > That isolation is great though because I went straight back to enjoying my beer. Second, I find the isolation to be a bit leaky - rarely am I imme

I think you'd get far more traffic if you linked to a page that actually has information ( https://code.headmelted.com/ ) instead of to the list of builds! In any case, this is awesome and I'll definitely give it a

I've written this type of script before - I didn't need too much in the way of debugging. Mine (similar to GP, it seems) didn't actually do the registration, just save the current state of known divs or even the whole page. T

I wrote this in another comment, but this is only partially true. The GDPR protections can potentially extend to non-EU citizens who travel to the EU, but the letter of the law seems to state that that's only true if data is actually

It may be - but that would just allow Facebook to say "if the login is from an EU IP, don't save this record" - but the rest of your profile, generated in the United States, can still remain. As long as no collection happens

by TheLoneTechNerd 9y ago
This is technically true, but there are a lot of really weird implementation details. Since GDPR only applies to EU citizens, and those citizens could physically be anywhere in the world, how Facebook implements this will be super interesti

by TheLoneTechNerd 9y ago
So that's going to be a really interesting thing to watch. Technically, the answer to your question is no - GDPR has nothing to do with being in the EU, it has to do with being a citizen of the EU. So if you're an American who

You should track the "longest shortest paths" of things and display them - has anyone managed to hit 10 degrees of separation, for example? If someone finds one, let us know!
