The issue is mostly that it could erase by accident.


A solution would be for the OS developers (Apple/Google) to provide a way to retrieve data from the backend. This would not fully prevent it to be hacked but would change the difficulty:

- wanna be GPS spoofers would need to emulate the whole OS/sensors to send spoofed data to Apple/Google

- the platform/OS developers would have more ressources and incentives to detect spoofed data

The cat&mouse game is harder when played against Apple/Google than against a single small developer.


Quite an alarming claim!

Looks like regarding to Cadmium, "vintage" means up to mid-to-late 1980s [0]

> Apparently The [Lego] has been aware of this concern for at least three decades (hence the switch to Cadmium free plastic colorants sometime in the mid-to-late 1980s)

Yes! As a French Canadian, that's my preferred layout.

Its advantage is that it uses dead keys to add diacritic.

For instance (Alt Gr+i then [normal vowel key]) will give îôêâ... You just have to know the diacritic position and press the normal letter to apply it.


Don't. The hiring company always has a role in those kind of situation. Maybe they picked the lowest bider, maybe they don't have good hiring criteria or just don't review the work being done make sense.

We're in the process of hiring abroad and it's hard. The promise of better salaries does attract more candidates that need to be filtered but we think that if we care while interviewing, we'll get as good candidates that will be part of the team.

Be proud of the work you're doing and don't take OP's anecdote as an absolute. But the situation described does happen.


A good reason to go offsort is to increase the talent pool and maybe save some money A bad is to get the lowest bidder and usually get what you payed for.


Didn't knew it once was named Rendez-vous!

It has been called Bonjour for a long time now.


If that's intelligent life, they could then attack our encryption!


Oh, haha, is THAT what's going to do it? :)


Yes - They want our Bitcoins!


And here I thought intelligent life meant actual intelligence.


Just bought it! I'd recommend adding SPF, DKIM and DMARC record to your domain so that emails don't ends up in spam (that probably the reason they currently do).


Also, please test your download page on different browsers.


There's something weird going on with the mortgage calculation when configuring the house's value.

When I set it to 0, I'm paying the mortgage way faster than should be possible, when I set it to anything meaningful, I'm bankrupt in one year!


Very interesting. Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out!


oh! I just did the onboarding again and I just realized that the yearly maintenances were in %! I had set it to a few thousand percents thinking it was $!

That's why the value of my home was making me broke...


OH yes. Don't know why, but I've developed an habit of putting important stuff in unsaved files from my use of Sublime a few years ago. I've been bitten by this in VSC a few times but I still do it...
