It's the news article that was already widely published and a local take (not by any government body, "campaigners have called") in Scotland.

So it's not a status but just a per ride assessment -- if you appear disabled when the driver comes to pick you up, he should ask not to receive surge pay for that particular ride?

Many of the bullet points are somewhat vague, but one is strangely specific: > Prohibiting companies from charging passengers with disabilities higher prices during busy times. First of all, what constitutes 'disability'? How w

WebRTC is somewhat new and complex, and browser support varies greatly. I don't know what kind of unlimited resources behemoth you imagine Slack to be, but I can definitely see how doing consistently working cross-browser WebRTC woul

Yeah, I was somewhat surprised by those. "Classes" on domestic flights in the USSR?! And yeah, GUM was (and still is) a department store for Soviet citizens - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUM_(department_stor

re Lyft: We detect recycled phone numbers, and we'll challenge you (or "not you") for further identification. Phone recycling has been a much bigger problem for non-fraudulent cases, e.g. you pop-in a new SIM card and naively

This was done under previous administrations just the same. Telling a CBP officer that you're come to be "paid to lecture" is usually the kind of honesty that doesn't pay off. CBPs are triggered by the word "work&qu

I've read similar stories before the current administration. Telling a CBP officer that you're going to be "paid to lecture" is not recommended. This is a kind of honesty that doesn't return a favor.

I think you're talking about the BART that's much more than SF. The Muni underground tram is rather quiet.

Does anyone track? I guess as much anyone tracks any "U.S. tax dollars" going to any other US government stuff one doesn't like or agree with. (In other words, probably not much.) Cellebrite doesn't "target" th

Cellebrite got its start with the UME, a phone memory transfer tool for carriers' (POS and support). Carrier-oriented tools are a major part of its operations, though there have been some talks about spinning this off to a separate com

I've been to the one in Saint-Petersburg. Probably worth a visit, but do expect most machines to be under-maintained, and keep you wondering if the game is even receiving your inputs... Though, I suppose, when those machines were place

For me, it greatly depends on the location. At locations where hostels are readily available and cheap, I had easy time couchsurfing, e.g. Mexico, and had a very good time (that was last summer, 2014). In SF, yeah, good luck, and better be

Exactly what you'd expect from an airline: "Bugs or potential Bugs you discover may not at any time be disclosed publicly or to a third-party. Doing so will disqualify you from receiving award miles." It's as if it was d

It guess this mostly matters for people who meant to apply through the Master's cap (graduates of US colleges with Master's degrees). Since there were more than 20k (as USCIS stated), the rest are reduced to regular applicants.

Last time I checked, code signing certificates could be had for $400 a year, not an exorbitant price to many tech enthusiasts.
