Re:Nintendo DS cameras are the best lo-fi photo trend on Tuesday August 15, 2023 @04:03PM (#37138639)
The low-fidelity look of heavily filtered Instagram-photos that was trendy in the 2010s.
No need to do it in the backend and worry about caching. Just output iso-dates and have them converted in the frontend.

Re:The security content of iOS 10.3.3 on Wednesday July 19, 2017 @05:01PM (#14807869)
But that should be up to the users to decide. I'll be much happier to use up 137 MB for a critical security update than 354 MB for the latest Facebook app update (version 132.0).
Re:The security content of iOS 10.3.3 on Wednesday July 19, 2017 @04:47PM (#14807763)
I'm still perplexed that Apple doesn't offer over the air updates, especially for security updates. 137 MB shouldn't be that big a deal on a normal 4G connection.

Got it running in Safari with no problems. Impressive considering I tried it on a mid 2011 MBA.

Should this be considered Fucked Company 2.0, nine years after the original site closed?

Edit: The original name was apparently also a pun (Fast Company).

Serbia is an independent country currently negotiating an EU-memebership. In order to get to Serbia, Russia would have to go through at least one EU-contry or Turkey.
Why didn't Google just develop this in house? It almost feels like they're admitting to having no credibility on privacy without an external partner.

Would be nice if they could have stated how much it's going to cost later on. We're less than three months from 2016.

You don't seem to be getting a Berkeley degree; "datascience@berkeley’s technology service provider works with a different university to offer an online data science program that is unaffiliated with the University of California." (3rd page of the form). I wonder what that university would be.
Isn't it pretty standard for groups to be traveling together? I'm fairly certain you'd find some kind of larger group on pretty much all flights. In this case it happened to be 20 passengers working for Freescale.
