    probably the easiest way would be to buy an amazon gift card in cash and deliver it to a locker/shop for pickup, although you'd likely still need to link it to a phone number

    scale is important here - maybe a better analogy is setting up a paid Spotify clone with all the music sourced from torrents with some slight distortion effect added

    I used a copy of (desktop) Vector Magic several years ago - it's almost certainly not worth the purchase price today (and better software may already exist), but it did very reliab…

    About a year ago I made a little wear os app to track the upcoming departures at the station near me - it was suprisingly useful (especially at big stations - sometimes you can mak…

    To my understanding, there are ways of wiring a USB-C cable such that only four contacts are active, and behave as a USB 2 cable? (although you can only do USB 2 charging over it, …

    I'm not quite sure what you mean here - English Wikipedia is ~60GB, and there are definitely models trained on Wikipedia that are less than 60GB (eg: Llama 7B), but that's a lossy …

    If you also explicitly mentioned the salt used (as bear appear to have done?), this just becomes a matter of testing 4 billion options and seeing which matches

    are you sure? Wikipedia describes both as being country code tlds, and both have an official ISO 3166-1 code that matches their domain.

    If the "correct" date encoding is 2018-03-14, is 14-03-2018 not one inversion instead of three?

    As far as I can tell it's still free for relatively low request rates, but you need to register an account/get an app id from them (I've been doing some testing with it recently as…

    to summarise this - in practice, a person earning £50,270 under 1257L is paying 24% of their income as tax. Ever £1 they earn above this value is taxed at 40% up to £125k (although…

    Can you provide an example of this for an employee of a company? I can't figure out a way of making that the case - even inside the "60%" (in relative terms) band - at £125k your a…
