I moved away from my hometown longer ago than that and had no problem depositing cheques in branches other than the one with which I was registered. It may depend on the bank you a…

"No actual businesses built" is completely not the case. At least not for all ICOs. Take PundiX, for example – they have a fully-functional product with a growing base of B2B custo…

I'll chime in to add Thailand to the list of countries which require your shoes to be off as you pass through security.

Some programs are designed to replace humans, others are designed as tools. Automation does not always equal the replacement of humans. I appreciate your analogies but there is not…

As long as the data is used as one of many guideline sources which is scrutinised by human officers before the individuals are suspected and acted upon, I personally don't see a pr…

> But GET should have no side-effect I disagree. There are some ways in which GET can be non-idempotent, such as pageview counters and endpoints with a vast amount of constantly-ch…

I would call it more of a "market correction" than a "collapse."

Well, usually I will ask friends or colleagues who have experience of that country. But if not then yes, I will spend an evening reading up on the country and its rules/customs whi…

I have experience of Thailand and Japan so can chime in. Thailand does not require registration, but authorities prevent travelers from re-entering shortly after their stay (cracki…

It may be annoying or inconvenient, but China is not the only country a requirement to register with the local authorities. The fact that it applies to all types of visas may throw…

I'm sorry, but I fail to see your point. This does not have anything to do with his sexual relationships so I am unsure of why you are making that analogy. It is completely usual t…

The reporter comes off as a bit paranoid and slightly egotistical. Read up on the rules and follow them closely or risk facing consequences. If you aren't 100% sure, ask. Personall…

> The robots are designed to free up store employees' time so they can use it to help customers. This is probably the most textbook spin I've ever seen. It's as if their PR firm di…

To be fair, this post is about Google's UX for developers, which is admittedly very good. The APIs and supporting documentation and guides for many of Google's properties usually d…

Good post, but it does not consider conversion of former customers. I develop a subscription service which launched in January and now has ~9,000 MAUs. This above metric accounts f…

I understand. But to many businesses – especially online businesses – time is the most significant expense. It is the elephant in the room here. You are not "profitable" (not even …

First of all, congratulations on your success and experience. Second of all, correct me if I am wrong, but you do not seem to be factoring in your time (16 working days) or any kin…

Kaz Hirai is doing pretty well at Sony, all things considered.

I can see where he is coming from, but this quote is wrong on so many levels.

Traveling often has forced me to adopt this approach. I do not miss the days where I owned much more. Slimming down your possessions to a couple of suitcases worth is liberating, t…

I have also observed this behaviour, especially from higher ranking employees.

I have worked in several office environments in Japan where coworkers have frequently napped at their desks.

Android is an OS, not a phone.

Twitter and Snapchat are big projects based on small ideas. It's not necessarily a bad thing to narrow your focus.
