British Expats living abroad were allowed to vote. As long as you lived in the UK within the last 15 years you can vote in Elections and Referendums.

As far as I know the commission divided by hours worked on the translation must be over 7.50. So if it takes you 100 hours for the translation you would be under minimum wage and entitled to £750. However as an employee commission based job

Yeah then it's up to Uber to build that in if it's a problem. That when demand is low it tells them there isn't enough demand currently and they won't get paid. The problem there is if it happens often it's going t

The minimum wage in the UK isn't a fixed monthly amount. It's a fixed hourly amount. So for someone aged over 25 they should receive £7.50 an hour The drivers will still be able to set their own hours, just they should be getting

Not really loving the new branding if I'm being honest but I hope it will grow on me. The https://dropbox.design site is terrible, my main gripe being it completely destroys scrolling. The complete mishmash of moving parts

I was under the impression there was a statutory amount, but it was ridiculously low. To have none at all is pretty damn terrifying.

Something that stuck out for me: > "Don’t get me wrong — Even has plenty of perks. Our team is offered paid vacation time (with a minimum number of days off)" Is paid vacation time really a perk? Is vacation time usually unp

Hi, just thought I'd chime in with my experience. The Call to action buttons link to a login page, but the buttons "Start building your ideal week today" seem to suggest this would take me either direct to the app or at least

Like some other people mentioned I suspect that Tesla is going the "Under Promise, Over Deliver" route. It's likely that in some cases the Model 3 will have a lower range. Whether thats due to the environment/usage&#x2F

I believe the article is just poorly worded in that regard. > "It says that Google pays taxes worth up to 9 percent of its revenues outside the EU" They're simply asserting that Google currently pays 9% of its revenue in t

Most of the cheap plans are prepaid or resellers but those that advertise LTE really do give LATE in my experience. The O2 network here is terrible for 4G I agree the other two are much better. Is the lower priority actually noticeable thou

Hi, I also live in Germany and my experience is a little different. I know several people with 6gb plans for less than 20€, and if you're willing to pay 30€+/mo then 10/15/20gb LTE plans are possible. Have you tried a c

Well that really depends how you drive / how the cars accelerate. I've experienced being on the autobahn and not being able to overtake because I can't accelerate fast enough (turbocharger on my car had broken, pedal to the

Ok that actually makes sense, owning a sports social network it seems a logical step to go from there to allowing people to bet on the sports.

I imagine the major costs are their living expenses. They've sold their house and cars, but still need somewhere to live, they'll still need to travel and of course eat. Additional costs could be through marketing, not sure if th

That's true hence from that revenue they might only be able to squeeze tens or maybe hundreds of millions in profit from it. Which for Microsoft is in their eyes probably not worth the effort.

The minority that likes their phones may be miniscule in comparison to say the iPhone. But in the phone market a small market share can still equal billions a year. There is room for them to carve out a niche of Microsoft Phones earning th

Really? In my experience the people who work in startups are the ones overworked and working 60-80 hours a week. Where as those of us at profitable established companies can check in, do our 8 hours of work and then go home and usually not

Rather than creating a foreign corporation, why not create a German one? A GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) is limited liability but requires a starting capital of €25.000. However a UG (Unternehmergesellschaft) also has limite

Hi there, enthusiastic and regular Transferwise user here. I think the answer is that while Transferwise is a great product, Western Union serves a niche that Transferwise/PayPal/Web Startups aren't fulfilling. That is anyon

Is there a specific reason you're keeping so much of your wealth tied up in Ethereum? (Not that clued up on it, perhaps there isn't a big enough market there to sell it yet?) It seems to me like having all of your eggs in one bas

To be fair in some cases this can be a benefit. There have been occasions where I have wanted to link to content contained within a modal. You are right in that there are also occasions where this isn't desired.

Yeah it can be a problem fitting it in, but if it's really what you want to do then you somehow have to manage it. Engineering comes in lots of forms, "frontend" working with the clients, 3d models, etc. "backend"

If someone had a "sure-fire way" of making an extra $5k a month, I don't think they would be keen to share them. In my opinion the case market is pretty saturated, and it's a hit or a miss about whether you get anywhere

Perhaps due to them being trendy? You use your stolen credit card to buy high value items with a resale value. Resell the item to someone else, and you have turned those numbers on a screen into cold hard cash.
