Boeing is already a public/private enterprise. The down years in commercial aircraft are propped up by US Gov defence orders, lots of primary research is funded by the US taxpayer, the US Gov works very hard to help…
I don’t want to argue that the keyboards and mice are perfect, but we have two magic keyboards, two mice, and one gen1 trackpad that have all been extremely reliable. All are +/- 10 years old. Well, one mouse and one…
It’s not “for the sake of a wink and a nod” or “dogwhistling.” The ACLU is actively campaigning against the way the US Government and ICE in particular treats immigrants and people around the borders. Have a look at the…
BACS is generally cheaper at volume. In addition, BACS Bureau allows a payroll company to transfer money directly from your employer's account to yours without the money ever reaching their account. All fixable, but…
The auction cleared at £45/MWh (1). This means that the bids referenced in the Bloomberg story have succeeded. Bloomberg have significantly updated their story to reflect the results. In today’s good news story, we can…
It took about 30s to ‘solve’ the captcha on my iPhone XR, with minimal feedback as to why it was taking so long. That was pretty annoying. If I hadn’t been on a site demoing captchas, I would have assumed the site…
There’s a joke in skydiving: “What happens if your backup parachute fails? You aim for the car of the person who packed it”
Hard to say definitively - double malfunctions are relatively rare, so the sample size isn’t enormous. More time can increase the likelihood that you can get some piece of parachute fabric above your head. And if you…
The primary things that's changed has been the availability of small powerful gas-turbine engines. That's what's made the folks you've mentioned, plus the Jetman project, possible. To the best of my knowledge, this…

£183m is about 10% of the profit BA made in FY 2018 before exceptional items: > Despite these challenges, our revenues have held up, increasing 5.7 per cent versus last year. ... we achieved an operating profit of…
That analogy doesn’t hold up. All Airbus and most Boeing aircraft have systems to push the nose down in event of a stall. The problem here is: in the transition from the -NG to the -MAX, Boeing added this protection and…

Ireland is, as of 2016, a net contributor to the EU; this year the country is expecting to contribute 2.7bn€ Source: https://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/ireland-s-contri...
Was that a while ago? Dingle town (and many other small towns in Kerry) have fibre: https://fibrerollout.ie/rollout-map/ . Lots of houses have been connected in the last 2-3 years.
Likewise - in the decade I was active in the sport of skydiving, I heard plenty of stories around using the sport to help with stress, depression, and other issues back in the “real world”. Never heard of a tandem…
This article misses the point. Atlassian's success is not because of their user onboarding. The onboarding process has been a serious weak point of JIRA and Confluence for as long as I can remember (and I worked at…
I know a _lot_ about JIRA. I worked at Atlassian for almost four years, in engineering management and product management roles. (Left in 2011, if you care). JIRA is a total nightmare to configure sensibly, and the UX is…
Are you outside the USA? Atlassian's Cloud (previously OnDemand, Studio) offerings are only hosted in the USA. So they're clunky and slow on any other continent. Including, amusingly, Atlassian's engineering HQ in…
You're talking about European Commission, not the European Parliment. This action is being initiated by the directly-elected[1] Members of the European Parliment. For readers more familiar with the US, the closest…
Thank you so much. I felt like I was in a teenager's bedroom. In dark theme, the contrast to the Yosemite system toolbar is terrible and the tab text is extremely hard to read.

It's vital if you use a Mac/Win as a dev machine.
I used to have the cert (deleted a while ago), and I've never installed Steam.
I live in France & all the major telcos* do this. It's an advertised part of the services. * At least: Orange, Bouygues, SFR, Free.
