   Thanks for the explanation. I had the wrong idea that it could be due to, for example, if A->B belonged to a different provider than B->C, providers not reaching an agreement on what % to take each, for the journey from A->C - henc

   And it's often cheaper to buy 2/3 separate tickets, for stops along the way of a long journey, than just simply buying straight from A to B.

   Exactly this. It's a problem already solved by pagination - but I guess that's not cool and doesn't allow for such granular tracking.

   I feel you. Unfortunately, I don't think GDPR will be of much help on that case. A fine of up to 1% of they're revenue will hardly make a dent - it's just another tax. Misbehaviour will be still worth it. Actually GDPR is of

    In the UK, JustEat takes 30% of the order, same as UberEats, with 0 liability - if something goes wrong with the order, including problems with delivery time, driver taking a nibble, the restaurant just doesn't get paid. Deliveroo is a

    Not that Teams is better but I feel like Slack started to die the moment it removed IRC and XMPP support. That was their only clear advantage over the competition. The inability to turn off notifications shouldn't be a feature. People

    I know this is from 2007, but it's funny this is coming from Microsoft... with all the W10 metrics, telemetry and spyware bloat that replaced the old and effective "Send error report" button. Kind of seems like they didn&#x27

    Genuine question, is this not considered a DoS attack? Let's imagine I have my online stock linked to limited physical items/assets, ex tickets for a show, which will get reserved for a period of time. This will be preventing genu

    They don't need to know what my individual preferences are, actually, I would be glad if they don't try to "find them out". Are you sure they're trying to ship what works best for most people? I've not read tha

    Because FKs on a relational model.. as an example, deleting a user/account might end up being a task on going through every reference to it, and the references to its references, etc. This is actually the reason some companies do not d

    I often wonder if what people refer to as communism, wasn't just a corrupted implementation of it, pretty much the same as we currently see under socialist and democratic governments. I've got no experience under such regime, but
