Certainly this model would result in a lot more people who would create accounts to test and never come back after deciding it's not for them. The answer to that is a clear dormant account policy - for example by deleting free accounts

Exactly - this works for notion.so, who allow 1000 "blocks" of data before requiring a paid account.

It looks good, and I like your pricing model more than the Standard Notes one (I don't want to drop $149 at once on a web app, but the 75% discount for doing so makes the monthly price seem way too expensive). Two things that stop me p

Simple enough. When a company ceases trading, nobody expects the people who bought their office equipment to honour outstanding warranties, or even the people who bought out the lease on the building they traded from. If another company buy

Yes, but I still have an effective hourly rate.

2 hours pay for each day I'm on call, increased to 4 hours for weekends or bank holidays (since we aren't in the office during the day so it's effectively another 8 hours on call per day), plus minimum 2 hours at double time

We don't really have probably cause in that sense in the UK. Any driver can be stopped at any time purely to check documents if required - police don't need to have a reason.

But then everybody knows the exact crime to avoid. This way, you don't know what happened, you know something bad happened, but you don't know what, so you avoid breaking any laws to be on the safe side.

Depends on the business, and whether there's a limit to the number of accounts a number can be linked to. A business can quite legitimately have multiple accounts for different departments, brands, or any other purpose. If you can only

In the image in the linked post, the "No Web Server" would be what you describe. "Parked" is where you point the domain at a generic page so that visitors see a page, but you're not actively hosting any kind of web

Kind of. I use a good headshot from my wedding.

Instead of throwing away those years as a lawyer, I'd look to complement them - specifically, I'd look at management/director level infosec/compliance/governance roles. You'll get less hands-on exposure as a ma

I wonder if a piercing would be a suitable hybrid, giving additional sensitivity while still being removable. If detecting EM fields is the goal, I'm not sure there's much advantage to using a finger as the location.

Except the bus never actually said we'd be giving £350m per week to the NHS. It said "We send the EU £350m a week - let's fund our NHS instead." Nobody in their right mind would assume that means we'd just divert al

There was no need for detail, because the WTO already provides a framework for trade agreements. That was the assumed state people voted on - talk of a deal came afterwards, and was considered by many to be an attempt to do "Brexit in

The thing is, there was no talk of a deal before the referendum. The vote was simply Stay or Go, with the assumption being that we would simply fall back to WTO rules. All this talk of negotiating a deal came after the vote. In that sense,

I haven't given up on it yet, but my hobby project is a portal for free live music gigs in my local area. It's working well enough on Wordpress, but real life always seems to get in the way of my attempts to move it to a standalon

I owned mylastname.co for a year before I let it drop. Everyone expected either .com or .co.uk.

When I got married, I seriously considered taking my wifes name, for no other reason than the .co.uk was available.

That doesn't fly when you're married. The always on display on the S8 is a lifesaver though - bright enough to see the time at 2am, but dim enough that you don't blind yourself doing so.

I can definitely imagine certain execs being single-minded enough to think "Well if a parent has suffered some tragedy, they're not going to click our ad anyway, so it's costing us nothing to advertise to them"

These "missteps" are the reason I don't use Firefox. With Chrome, I know Google are watching. But I also know only Google are watching. They're not bundling irremovable third party apps in with the browser, or installi
