I said "try to sink it" not that they would necessarily succeed. That said if they are on board and have unlimited access to the entire ship it may be possible to sink it without a…

I used to work at a place that was able to hold onto a sizable proportion of its technical talent for many years at least in part by allowing remote work. In the minority of cases …

I suspect there would be enough of value that could be stripped off the ship and removed to make it worth the pirate's time. Bear in mind that it doesn't matter to pirates if they …

Google wants to provide people with the best quality content. If you happen to have the best quality content around a topic then your search engine rankings will improve over time.…

There is mention of trading data which suggests to me that it might be to do with traders employed by Citigroup ie staff members whose job it is to use a block of the bank's money …

Do you know if they publicly release analytics about humans Vs bots? I would be interested to know the proportion of tweets from actual humans.

I read somewhere that Thailand is currently the world's largest hard drive manufacturer. It is therefore entirely possible that a substantial number of these job cuts with be in Th…

>it is just a jumble of collective stream of consciousness Much of it isn't even that. A huge proportion are not even real humans but are instead accounts being operated by one of …

Although how awesome would that have been. "Ok, the photos are coming through now. Which, lol, should provide conclusive proof that no one is operating on the dark side of the.... …

>Dollars to doughnuts they tried to use some internal-only API Not at all necessary for this situation to occur. I just finished implementing a system (nothing to do with Pokemon) …

I actually just finished wrangling social log in for a system that is waaaay less popular than Pokemon GO. Rather amusing to see an organization operating at a vastly bigger scale …

Although I am not a big fan of philosophizing around travel I will say that traveling alone is a very different experience that I suggest more people try, even if only once. I have…

Personally I have no problem with stuff being corporate branded and/or juvenile but I am surprised that the cock-fighting element isn't mentioned more often in relation to Pokemon.…

>Tindr is the poster boy for lowest common denominator Why yes, it does have very broad appeal.

If nothing else, it could just be to stop anyone else from patenting something similar then trying to use that patent against them.

>Can I get funds from US angel investors and build my company in my home country? That is entirely up to the angel in question. I do however suspect that many people would like the…

I actually have not come across Cangjie before and it looks really interesting. Thank you for the link :)

Keep an eye out for either Pinyin or Zhuyin. I believe they are somewhat common for texting purposes. You input this stuff and your device starts displaying characters for you to p…

>Cameras that capture photos of the outside of the bag, which is linked to the X-ray image of the bag’s contents. Curious where all of that data goes. A giant catalog of x-rays of …

Curious how you could solve that. I guess you would need to time stamp the coordinates. Then if you had data on how each region has moved you could calculate new coordinates over t…

Kind of surprised it is more money AND more time off. I am an Australian in my mid 30s and most of my social circle is mid 30s through mid 40s. There is a bit of a trend to specifi…
