Hospital admissions are reliable indicators for violent crime and stabbings in particular - if you get injured you're going to need a doctor and they will record it - and these are going down [1]. There is little to…
The gap is reducing significantly - I have collected and built Lego for a long time and had this opinion but have recently discovered Lumibricks (formerly Funwhole) - excellent designs, and around 1/2 the price of Lego…
Usually it would be either the full day (ceremony, meal and ‘evening party’ which we commonly call the reception) or just the reception. No one is being asked to skip the middle part of the event. Less than 20% of…
Weirdly on Reddit I keep getting the doordash and ubereats communities pushed at me - there is a very strong view amongst people using these apps that anyone who says they will "give a cash tip" will not actually do it,…
All that this does is ensure you don't get stacked with another order ahead of you (so the delivery is direct from the restaurant to the person who ordered) in theory. It doesn't help with situations where drivers are…
Most of the time we knew because people are generally honest and tell the truth. A few times where we had concerns we'd apply for a police report - even if someone will lie to their insurer, they rarely lie to the…
In the UK where I am, most standard (not budget) property policies would cover theft from an unlocked entry point. Two main exceptions: 1 - if you are letting the property to someone else, e.g a lodger or have paying…
Lots of insurance covers these types of situation which are the result of careless acts... Don't take the right safety precautions and burn down a customers house - liability insurance Click on a link in a phishing…
I don't think that's particularly true but even if it was, the site is overrun with crypto spam and porn bots that will drive people away. I know 3 people who have deactivated their account and switched to bluesky in…
I may have misunderstood the parent comment - with gmail, you can add dots anywhere in the mailbox and it all goes to the same place (standard gmail, not workspace) e.g andrew@gmail.com, a.n.d.r.e.w@gmail.com and…
This works for some providers (Google) but definitely isn't universal - MS/Outlook doesn't support it for example
I'm fairly sure that most podcast platforms now include dynamic ad segments - I listen to a few and whilst some (usually where the hosts record ads themselves) seem to have static ads, others definitely have ads which…
Some operators do have their own infrastructure and most large ISPs have equipment in local exchanges and operate their own backhaul. Lots of it is just about marketing though.
I’m fairly sure it was confirmed they don’t have any standalone cyber cover so probably no insurance will be picking up the tab. I work for a cyber insurer (who are trying to reduce the risk of compromise, alongside…
The UK motor insurance market is one of the most competitive in the world. Aggregators have created a situation where every insurer is looking for the slightest competitive advantage to drive themselves up the…
Which isn't even legally permissible, there is no way to 'give it back' (although you could stop using the title) - it can only be taken from you, which has to be done by the king on recommendation of the prime minister.
Is this not just Bing searching the web under the built in web search integration?
Appreciate the focus is on the US but for contrast in the UK, 'theft by finding' is a specific offence - whilst you can generally keep unclaimed lost property you should make some effort to find the owner before doing…
For someone working outside IT but who has coding skills, it's great. My previous work computers have been tightly controlled by IT and installing libreoffice on them wouldn't have been permitted.
What stack can handle 500,000 orders per minute - 22.3 billion a month - on a $6/month server?
Reading the latest update from the bankruptcy, regulation and enforcement definitely would have helped - I suspect any appropriate auditor conducting a thorough audit would have very quickly realised that the business…
I've had to implement this - we have a web app used by engineers in the field where signal is often not great. We got lots of complaints about image uploads as for a typical job there would be potentially 100+ images…
In the UK (arising from GDPR so I would assume EU as well), sensitive personal data is an enhanced category of PII which requires more considered handling. This would include things like race, health conditions,…
Not just the diversity page - it looks like they removed a bunch of pages from the careers site - e.g the "early career" page that is in the header is also removed. Only the "search jobs" button remains. See the header…
In the UK legal insurance is often bundled with home insurance for a small fee (~£8 a month for me). This covers the cost of legal advice across a broad range of categories (employment, housing, consumer protection,…
