Well the FAA discovered the pilot lied and now the pilot is in serious ** with his career and reputation destroyed: I'm assuming he is looking at possible jail time (not a lawyer). I'd say this is a serious deterrent to…
You (probably purposefully) make no distinction between the long term / residential rental market and the short-term / holiday let one. That is what Airbnb trades on (and the point of the article): they muscle in on the…
> It has a real effect Let me play devil's advocate here. Because I worry a lot about this. In as much as it affects the outcome of climate change you're wrong: not eating meat, driving and flying less, etc. will not,…
>If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like…
I once went out with a nurse in the UK who worked in palliative (end of life) care. On a daily basis she was responsible for life-changing decisions concerning medications; she had to comfort the dying and tell bereaved…
Creating a UK corporation takes ten minutes online and costs you USD $20 (and anyone can do it). But the compliance / Know Your Customer rules are very strict in the UK: it's almost impossible to get a bank account…
It's genuinely surprising to me that a researcher at MIT lacks the awareness to attempt at least the pretence of impartiality in a paper about bias.
Not trying to be aggressive but I'm guessing that you use an adblocker to browse the internet? I'm guessing that you believe content on the internet should be universally free (and contributors unpaid). Quick aside:…
The story is that - certainly in the early days - you could be fired from Amazon as a manager if your section made a profit. The argument is that your entire focus as a software / service business is growth (aimed at…
I've often thought that coding - for me - is more visual / graphical than anything else. If you could find a way to quantify + test people's ability to do that, you could throw rubbish coding challenges out the window…
The real tragedy is that their treatment is certainly a dis-incentive for drug and other companies to ever do anything pro-bono / for the benefit of humanity again. Well done EU!
The voters were asked three times: one referendum and two general elections, the last of which was won overwhelmingly by the party which had a single message - to 'get brexit done' - and lost by the party which denied…
I once worked for a very successful small firm whose primary product was a weekly email / newsletter: subscriptions start at around £20,000 / year. Their product was analysis (energy markets), their customers were the…
Most reasonable estimates are that a vaccine is at least a year to eighteen months away: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/coronavirus-vaccin... Are you really proposing to quarantine everyone for a year?
> This is a health issue not because of the disease being too deadly but by being a perfect combination of not being deadly enough and requiring intensive and long care for those affected by a severe case. Yes and so…
You simplify too much. Hospitalisation rate (and in particular admission to ICU) + mortality rate are strongly dependendent on age and health - no children have yet died of Coronavirus. The Italians have one of the most…
Well it's an interesting question and the answer is not ambiguous as far as I can tell. The US share of global R&D spending on pharmaceuticals is approaching 60%:…
Tbh I'm glad to see that Linus is still as passionate, opinionated and as concerned about the project as he always was. Was thinking that we were going to get a hippy Linus after his sensitivity training but nope, same…
Who is the 'we' exactly? Perhaps, in my cynicism, it's an attempt to sound like 'we're all in this together everyone! hugs' Maybe this is not a kumbaya moment. I'm guessing the 'we' breaks down the moment someone…

Hmm... Don't take this the wrong way but the point of CSS is that it can be modified by people that are good at, you know, CSS - a class of people that generally does not include your average java / PHP / javascript…
Stopped to watch one take off from Heathrow yesterday. They're iconic but then so was the Concorde - being iconic is not a substitute for being commercially viable.
I work at a high (senior) level as a (Javascript) developer and I'm 48. I'm not aware of being discriminated against - I never have trouble finding work (and I'm a contractor so I change jobs frequently). Perhaps that…
Hey man no problem, we'll just take the £30 billion divorce payment to help us with our stupidity.
Turnout for EU elections runs less than 30% in the UK: nobody here knows who's in it, what they do or how they got there. Oh I know you'll tell me of the ignorance and stupidity of the racist, little England British…
