  1. Lie detector tests don't work reliably. It's why they aren't admissible as evidence in court. Might as well go with the "look into their eyes" method.
  2. There's usually a setting for this in the companion app.
  3. It's like with casinos. The only way they don't make money is if Trump runs them.

    The NSWE Board

    I can't see the shareholders getting upset if the (job) titles aren't correct. No-one is investing based on this information.
  5. Your ratings and reactions please. Keep it respectful even if you know everyone else is wrong. A mod will add the players to the MoTM poll later.

    Are you saying that Google securely storing data was a breach? A breach is usually considered a loss of data. I'm not aware of Google ever using data outside of their stated AUPs. That people don't read these is routinely portrayed as Google's fault. However, everyone's ISP records all incognito activity unless you use a VPN - and I don't trust ISPs to keep that data secure. Also, I'm a paying customer of Google on all my accounts, so my interaction with them is far less as a product. When Apple got caught tracking location data on IOS devices when Location Services was turned off, they declared it was a bug and fixed it months later. Apple's AUP allowed them to do this. There are many cases of law enforcement using this data. Apple still download WiFi SSIDs for networks which are none of their business, without consent, for providing location services. I agree completely. It's why I'm on the side I am. They are collecting the data either way, I'd rather get something out of it.

    Just Google and Meta for me. I may drop Meta when we get unified messaging standards later this year.
  9. In my far too many years of going to VP, I've only had a half time drink when I've pre-ordered one in a box. I'm surprised people are so desperate for a crap beer that they'll miss part of the match experience to get one.

    It's closely related to what I do for a living and I don't think there is the slightest difference between the two. Some people like walled gardens and lock in. Some prefer a more functional experience in return for targeted ads. Neither has had a significant breach. Both have had scary problems with consumer stuff. One is more open than the other. One fixes bugs more quickly than the other. It always used to be that Apple was "more secure", but that claim has been long dropped by Apple while Google have ramped this up as their claim. Apple moved to the more nebulous "privacy" but in reality, this serves two purposes. To block third parties doing things in their walled garden (all browsers on iOS are still wrappers around Safari, because they don't want better, faster browsers showing up their pet one). And to make people keep buying devices with more and more local storage because cloud is scary (but we can sell you our special privacy cloud).
  11. Is the beer that good that you'd miss the event you've paud for the sake of getting one?

    So Ample cares about privacy, but only if you are a (recent) customer of theirs? Wow. Do you know of any evidence supporting Apple's privacy claims outside of their marketing and the places that regurgitate it?
  13. If the NHS aren't able to use them for what ever reason, I'd rather they were rented out for use. I don't know whether this is the case or not.
  14. Make people healthy so that they can get earning (and paying tax) to offset part of the bills. Insist on British based private sector companies so that their taxes are paid in the UK.
  15. It's been discussed in this thread before, but the short notice nature of these fixtures makes them harder to sell. However, many are taken for the season, but "owners" can't arrange guests for midweek games at short notice. In that case, they've already been sold and can't be sold again.

  17. Villa v Lille Please do not mention streams or streaming in this thread. Please note that there is no distinction between legal or illegal, video or audio. If you aren't sure, it doesn't go in this thread. You will receive warning points if you ignore this.
  18. My last three trips to Michelin starred places have been casual at best. What kind of place expects you to dress up to eat a steak? Is this a German thing?
  19. Veering into "finances" territory, but so what? You said you didn't want us going into debt "at the moment". How does someone else owing money for a stadium impact us "at the moment"?

    All true, but in it's sector, probably the best. Which is pretty depressing. If I had a free choice, we'd be using it, but that's because of the integrations available.
  21. We don't own Villa Park. Why would we own a new stadium?
  22. They are still pushing MPLS, a technology that should have been phased out with the contemporary digital watches. For the BT privatisation to be successful, it had to be split into at least four parts, separating consumer side from international from network from last mile. This was bottled and they've been trying to fix it up ever since, leading to the appalling mess that is Openreach. Then selling their mobile network and then having to buy another (mobile would have been am fifth division had it been meaningful back then)
  23. I'm not an expert on anything. I know a lot about a lot of things, but one of those things is the Dunning-Kruger effect.
