This is especially true when I am actually a paying customer for the product. May be I should be given the controls to filter based on my own tolerance.

China is not rich but a middle income country. China's GDP per capita is lower than Bulgaria and Romania.

I honestly have no idea where all the Windows settings are anymore so I just search instead.

I wonder if this is a way to boost bing usage.

The only one I know is: https://fivefilters.org/content-only/

It works for all the major sites but it is paid but with self-hosting option.

BBM was different since the PIN was baked into the device so it as more seamless than even using your phone number.

The problem was when you change your device you can't migrate your PIN so I think it contributed to decline to usage as people moved to other BB devices or iOS/Android

This only strengths the argument why majority of chat apps use phone number as your username.

Don't forget about Comdex! I have never been to any of these trade shows but it was always cool to read about the new stuff that's coming out during Comdex/CeBIT on Anandtech.

End of an era indeed!

Cats are usually house trained to boot so that's a plus!

Apple services are also not very good outside of Apple's platform:

Apple Music - Only major service which requires you to install iTunes to play with all kinds of funky issues. (ex: try to play an Apple music video fullscreen on a multi-screen system and all other screens goes to BLANK, I mean seriously??) Apple Maps - Not available on non Apple devices iCloud - You only pay for this when you are heavily invested on iOS ecosystem.

Apple services works best on Apple products today; the real question is whether the price increase just forces your average consumers to buy/keep used/older products or they would switch to alternatives.

I find that the higher you climb in the corporate ladder the less actual work hours I have because my calendar is filled with meetings and the remaining hours are scattered everywhere throughout the day.

Nowadays, I am just trying to get my developers productive by trying to my best to give them uninterrupted blocks of work either in morning or afternoon but it's not easy.

Autoplay video that takes up almost my whole screen with full sound blasting, the video itself contains the cliff note of an article that has less than 500 words.

This is beyond awful.

Available in Canada for at least the past few months as well.

Hi to fellow KW/Guelph YC news reader :)

There is a more specific term for folks like that, they are being referred as the 50 cent party.

Honestly I don't know how much consideration devs are actually paying attention to when most of them are probably using fairly recent high-end phones instead of the super cheap low-end mediatek android phones.

I've also noticed that low-end android phones tend cheap out on storage since most people only care about the size of storage not the speed.

Slight off topic but the graphs are terrible on the site, could someone smarter than me explain what the blue/red splits on the graphs represent?

What if you put the oven within a gyroscope? Seems like a solvable problem.

What I think would happen is people with Tether stuck on those exchanges would start trying to get out by two ways:

1) Cashing out to fiat, I don't know these exchanges well enough to determine if people actually managed to cash out their Tethers with real money in a meaningful sum.

2) Buying crytocurrencies available on these Tether based exchanges in order to get off these exchanges, which would actually cause prices to go up, but only in terms of USDT, not USD.

After that it really depends on what those folks would do next, they might choose to hold onto the coins or try to liquidate to fiat which would cause prices of coins on non-Tether exchanges to go down.

I work for a F500 financial services company and everyone uses Hi $name on every email.

If Apple knows the battery is getting to the point where this is happening, shouldn't they just let the user know it's probably time get their battery replaced and throttle? Wouldn't this kind of make everyone happy?

This seems no brainer to me.

Speed feels the same on my top end machine but FF could handle more tabs opened and font rendering looks noticeably better on Windows 10 vs. Chrome.

Chinese characters look like a bad flashback from the 90s when viewed on Chrome, I can't believe they never bothered to fix it.

As the author mentioned, it cannot solve any boards where all unfilled cells have more than one possible value within the cell's domain. More information about the algorithm here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC-3_algorithm

You would need to implement something like forward checking or backtracking algorithm to solve all possible boards with higher cost.

This feels like some of the ancient applications our team still have to maintain and I work for a Fortune 500 company.

Sigh.

Second your opinion, Google hasn't been crazy good at domain specific search for me lately.

Google video search is also weaker than a pure youtube search for me too, so much so that I only use youtube search nowadays which is perhaps their intent...

I used to have both Office 365 sub which comes with 1TB OneDrive and Dropbox personal but I've since unsubbed my dropbox plan as OneDrive now has smart sync baked in with the fall Windows 10 update and they only had smart sync for the team plan at the time.

I still think Dropbox has the best sync engine in this space but I feel the pricing/features is no longer competitive.
