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…

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 chi…

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 mul…

To those that think spreadsheets can’t be dangerous: https://www.cnbc.com/id/100923538 From that link: “Spreadsheet errors are costing businesses billions of pounds, according to 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=-gYb5G…

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 …

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 ent…

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 mea…

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.healt…

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.…

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 p…

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.…

Tough crowd. No sense of humour.

Does Saul do “no win no fee”?

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…

Or kids playing football with no scores shown. The mind boggles.
