    "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,…

    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…

    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 ser…

    "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…

    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…

    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 cus…

    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 i…

    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 fin…

    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 awe…

    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 …

    Clickbait title - the "this" referenced is Instagram, and other social media accounts. "...hiring managers are more likely to check your Instagram account." "...38% search for soci…

    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…

    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 c…
