And everything else. Each google maps client likely has an ID that is used to link each one back to your gmail. Regardless of whether you've signed in at time of map query.

But google are great. This is a feature of their online service. They need all your information in order to sell it so others can search and find it. Or something.

The substantive reply got burnt as well. My first comment is no longer throwaway.

Well I wrote "sounds like", so the comment was sort of in jest. But now I've gotten negative feedback (-2 ?!) I'm thinking that sensitivity training is oppressive. Any criticism of such training appears to be vehementl

Interesting criticism. Perhaps more context would help. They were rude about it. And it was appropriate to criticise the child and the parent. The parent was criticised as that child also did it to others up to that point. Other behaviours

Interesting points in that article. Having had a Christmas present rejected by a 10 year old I’m well aware of fake apologies. The kid, who had expressed interest in basketball multiple times, asked me a pointed "why did you give me a

Dangerous is mostly the spaghetti business logic that results when excel spreadsheets get scaled up into systems . “Dangerous” in lighter ways: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-gYb5GUs0dM Nostalgia requires this... https:&

Actually my point was that the US gets changes after they are tested elsewhere. You didn’t address that. So by omission you’re saying that the US won’t be getting these encryption laws. And that Australian style gun laws won’t arrive in the

6502 zeropage addressing effectively made it a risc by today’s standards. Done right it made for fast and compact code. Sometimes I’d throw in an extra instruction as alternate entry point into a subroutine. We’d be scrounging for ROM space

Given I’ve never had reason to use a y-combinator, mocking bird or eta or any of the other colourful terms from the article this post about GPS seems vaguely appropriate. Which means that in around 14 days I’ll suddenly need to revisit this

Driving under the influence. UK and Australia are the test beds. US is the target. From there it flows onwards and outwards. Like raw sewage over the Niagara Falls. The AU my.health opt-out debacle[1] is similar. UK got in first, promised t

Still got the book for that board. Friend of mine had a box of the things controlling a set of greenhouses and other sheds. They were the equivalent of the arduino back in the day. Reliable as well.

Learning exercise? Keeps them off the streets at least. If someone’s really keen how about annotating the old GEOS applications from the c64? Someone’s already done the OS.

Just one problem? I know a bunch of companies are packaging chips, displays etc in the US but are surely not even remotely at the scale Apple needs. In reality the industry would probably need to re-tool multiple manufacturing capabilities

Maybe. Chapter 7 bankruptcy (?) is probably the only way forward for most folks after a certain point. I’m not sure what I’d do if I was presented with a $150k bill for snake bite. https://www.wideopencountry.com/actual-cost

Short answer: Yes. Survival is a very low bar. Going bankrupt qualifies as surviving since being alive along with having faith in the future can be enough to rebound successfully. Plenty of millionaires exist now because they learnt from fa

This is getting off topic, but here we are... I’ve seen the opposite on several occasions. I saw one kid (not mine) at a “no win” game get taken off the field for putting his hands up in the air celebrating a goal. I asked about this and wa

Good to have another tool for csv debris management. Especially those multigigabyte gifts that need to be in the database “yesterday”. This has happened several days or weeks in a row more times than I can count. And no, people won’t provid

People who don’t interact with politicians and often don’t vote can’t have an opinion about anything political. They are not in the game. Fortunately this is easy to fix.

Power is never taken. It can only be given. That’s why threats of violence from the would-be rulers are usually necessary. A few people having power over the many is because the many don’t scare the few.

Potentially? They already have. Now they’re just linking things because they’re wanting easier and convenient access as well as “terms of service” clarity. I think it’s safe to say google etc don’t require cookies to track you. And they’ve

Nicotine temporarily lowers the effects of some forms of anxiety. Socialising can be scary for people.

Plenty of good things about nicotine : - weight management (appetite suppressant) [1] - clarifies certain kinds of decision making - heightens alertness - improves attention for those with schizophrenia [2] Smoking cigarettes on the other
