Tried to google but found both opinions !! The site turing.com does not has phone number but even phone number can be faked. I tried to see the address on google maps but the location does not has any sign for the building !!
I am looking to work remotely but I dont know if this company legit or not ?

It should be not bad if VT rating is correct:

They ask for ID so they want to get full name, address and phone. Is it possible to scam me from these information ?
|

The ID bit, yes.
These 'interview' scammers will totally have you hold your ID up so they can steal the ssn (or other special numbers for other countries) and use those for fraud. The common knowledge pieces of information don't really matter (name/address/phone). It's being able to pair the name and birthday with the bit of more secret information (ssn or w/e) that enables identity fraud.
If they don't ask you to do skills assessment and personality tests... Basically, if the interview seems like a pleasant conversation and not an arduous interrogation, it's probably a scam. Heh. /s
Edit: Just to be clear - I'm not talking specifically about turing.com - I have no idea.

For other countries what they can do with these information: name, address, ID number, birthday ?

Open a bank account in your name?
Start taking out loans that you end up paying?
Scammers know what they are doing - for example: Clarkson stung by fraud stunt | Scams | The Guardian[^] and Identity theft | ICO[^]

I was reading the newspaper yesterday (yes the paper version) and saw a story about undergrads designing and building a small satellite that NASA will launch into orbit. I was thinking how awesome it would've been to be a part of something like that in my college days. Kudo's to the people involved.

Would have been great to be a part of something like that.
I believe NASA has lauched quite a few school projects... even one by high school students from India. Good on them to work with students everywhere

I think it only costs about $3k/pound to put something on a Falcon 9.
I couldn't afford a very heavy satellite, but it's pretty interesting to google that and realize I almost definitely could get some little something up there. Barring all the stuff like they probably don't just let anyone chuck a bit onto a rocket to fling into space and there's almost definitely more bureaucracy to it than just paying.
Edit: The CodeProject Payload Project? That would rock. If y'all do it, I'd definitely want to try to be some part of it.

Bad news is it's a year and a half off, and the announcement was probably only made to shore up the Take Two Interactive after a loss of $2.9bn in the last financial quarter[^] ... so I'd say it's probably inaccurate - it'll slip back given how the long time frame implies there is a lot of work still to do.
Damn it! I was looking forward to that early next year.

I love DA, I think there are too many collection quests in DAI though (same fault as Mass Effect Andromeda).
I'm back in Fallout mode though, tossed in 120 hours this month between FO3 and FO4.

I saw the headlines but didn't bother reading any of the details.
I'm assuming this is as per previous releases, where the console releases get preferential treatment, and the PC port only comes out a year or so later. Then add a few more months for the show-stopping bugs to get patched...

Update: Turns out I did have it after all. I forgot the name of the project, or rather I misremembered it as something else. A friend turned me on to his copy, which was old, but gave me the proper name. Looked through my ex-system drive and there it was! woot
In a rare moment of total frustration and exasperation with my code, I deleted an entire project and abandoned it totally. I think. I may have just stashed it, but I probably deleted it. Either way I can't find it.
Today, I tracked down a bug in a library that that project used. I want to resurrect that project, because it was freezing the same way this bug caused. This was maybe 6 months ago, and I didn't have a ready way to track the bug - the old project was too complicated. Well, maybe I fixed it. I don't know now.
The project was really cool - it allowed you to pick and choose whatever statistics about your PCs hardware you wanted, and spit them to a display connected via USB. Which you can hang on your wall.
This is what it looked like, except this one is fixed in terms of what it displays - you can't choose. And even though it works on large displays, it only shows a small amount of information - so that it will work on small displays as well.

I want you to be able to choose what to display. I never delete my code. Why did I do it here? I remember being absolutely beside myself with frustration - the kind that doesn't come around that often so that's why I think I deleted it.
