I seem to recall when selling cars the V5 transfer also has a mileage (so easy to attribute) It isn't precisely easy (MOT and tax timings won't line up etc) and arrears rather than advance etc. We definitely have enough data to d

How would that even work? (I'm not being difficult here, I just don't understand). Assume Google is split up, Android is not maintained because doing so is not profitable. Each handset manufacture still needs an OS, and will jus

A friend of mine works as a chemist in waste disposal and I reckon a shallow sniff is a pretty common first line tool for identification / confirmation. I doubt it is ideal, but nobody would lie too much about what is in that barrel r

My views: - some non trivial % of active users are ego tourists. - ratios matter, and drive obvious behaviours to the detriment of all users - within a month you've had the same conversation so many times everything blends together and

That fits with my non expert intuition. If you don't get the basics of arithmetic it is incredibly hard to grasp the idea of "equals" as a pivot point. Division by hand helps to give us a hint that numbers can be broken up in
