London has had 10,000's of mini-cabs for decades that served a big chunk of this non-Black cab market. They weren't perfect but they were cheap, pretty ubiquitous and served most (if not all) of the spaces left in the market by bl

There’s a whole chain of companies who have financial incentives to maximise spend through their platforms. They’ll place creatives in ad units with impressions they know are low quality based on needing to fulfil fill rates and volume. It’

Several reasons: Many large, higher quality ad buyers (agencies and direct sold) can get enough return from non-greyarea inventory like this. There's no point in them taking (even a small) perceived risk of buying this grey market inve

It's actually $15.98. French minimum wage of 1,521.22 Euro PCM (divided by France's 35 hour week * 4) = 14.48 Euro per hour / $15.98 This also doesn't take into account things like top-up tax credits for low earners, acc

To wave a hand and dismiss the entirety of Europe's wage policy as 'different in many ways' is disingenuous. What Europe represents is a systemic approach to wage inflation at the low end; but this is also true for other coun

There's no real evidence that's true. There are lots of countries where minimum wage policies are providing (or exceeding) a living wage for their employees[0]. At least enough for their employees to feed themselves without govern

Same, I try it every few months to see if its tmux support has improved. So far no luck! I actually really like the way it's configure/managed, the whole `hyper install foo` is pretty nice.

I really like it, it takes a little getting used to though. Some people claim all kinds ergonomic benefits or negatives with orthos but I haven’t noticed a difference. I used a Planck as my daily driver for about 6 months before finally get

This is a really interesting to read as someone not from the US. In the UK (and all the other countries I've lived) emergency service radio traffic has been encrypted for a very long time. I was always surprised (even shocked!) whe

Quip. It's okay. Not blown away with it. We're toying with Notion at the moment, but we'll see if we can get critical mass behind it.

The benefits of monorepos (in my experience) are all people/organisation based e.g. it can be easier to enforce standards/processes among 100s-1000s of engineers with a monorepo, or it can be easier to manage/release a very l

My recent experience is that there are still a lot more Notes deployments in the wild than I'd thought. It could make a kind of perverted sense for HCL to own a product a huge amount of consulting/outsourcing money is being spen

While true, it’s a bit of a blunt force solution as it prevents all clipboard events (e.g. no ‘click here to copy’ anymore). That may be a reasonable compromise for some, but I’ve seen some weird broken behaviour as a result of people usi

I’d love to understand how this relates to the work that Improbable are doing in supporting massive scale online game environments. Is this an open source competitor? How do they compare?
