I shouldn't laugh, but that's a strong 30-50 feral hog vibes from your vet visit ha.

I can travel to central London from my home 100 miles to the West in 70 minutes by public transport. In any case, that's a fault of poor public transport in the shires, not London.

About coding maybe, but I find interviewing really informative to learn about what other companies are doing and how they have architected stuff.

There are a few services that seem almost deliberately bad though. Tax Free Childcare is a scheme that allows you to pay for daycare and get a 20% discount applied via the government. It works quite well, but I'm convinced there is a d

Even 74 in Sochi sounds mind blowing. I can't imagine that many people dying on an engineering project anywhere else in Europe, unless perhaps there was a major incident like a tunnel collapse. But that would be headline news around th

What topic would you like to see discussed more that you cannot because of woke twitter community guidelines?

I don’t think Musks main association is being unwoke. He might be good for shareholders, but it’s not because of “free speech”.

I'm not sure shareholders stand to gain much from the platform getting more un-woke (racist?). The less brand safe the platform becomes, the less big corps will want to be associated with it or maintain a presence there.

Bluetooth audio works fine, but definetly no CarPlay functionality. Some buttons on the head unit say 'talk to your dealer to purchase this'.

CarPlay / Android is a separate £200 upgrade.

My 2017 VW does this with the Voice button. I'd love it to just activate Siri / Google Assistant on my paired smartphone, but actually they'd like to charge me £200 to use their own dubious voice control.

Sure for any actual landlords, but at that point you're running a business and that's pretty different from 'normal' income. The allowances are more so ordinary people taking in a lodger don't get caught up in tax r

So low earners are allowed to eat basic food, but pay astronomical taxes for any luxuries in their life. Which you and I could easily afford.

That sounds pretty regressive. A massive tax burdon on a low income family so that high earners don't have to file income taxes.

Even rental income has a fairly generous allowance before you need to file a full tax assessment. The first £1,000 is tax free (presumably the cost of admin makes it easier to let that go). And up to £2,500 you just have to phone / ema

This is great, so long as you have the choice to just WFH when you're not feeling it - you have a cold, the weather is shit, the bike needs maintenance etc.

thanks, I knew I should have googled to check... Also occurs to me that it's 60hz in North America, but point roughly remains!

by adwww 5y ago
This is actually a big potential for a smart grid - turning on or off demand from things like fridges and ovens in response to the grid frequency changing. If the grid is very slightly over 50hz it means demand exceeds supply and vice versa

Yeah I tried giving up social media for a while and just texting my actual friends etc instead. It works for the groups of friends that we have active WhatsApp groups with. But especially texting friends of the opposite sex - now that we&#x

I've lived in NY, CH and UK (where I'm from) and think Switerland is the odd one out in this respect. Quality of life is highest in most respects there, but only really so long as you're happy to go along with things and not

It's usually far easier to build and test a UI than integrate the same backend code with multiple vendor's chatbot SDKs as well. Is there any evidence customers prefer chatbots? The entire concept feels like it's driven by ma

I think that's potentially the difference between social sign on and enterprise SSO. Login with Google etc. achieves most of those advantages, while still leaving SSO against an organisation's SAML provider etc for enterprise.

I'm currently interviewing for a new role, and I've already been told my expected salary is too low for me to be a senior engineer. Hardly my fault I didn't know to ask for a higher amount?! Will obviously be challenging this

I've acquired three types of table spoon in my kitchen drawer. The largest is nearly double the smallest. It's absurd that this is an actual unit of measure.

You're not a super influential figure with the prime minister in your WhatsApp. Nor did you lobby an entire country to do something stupid to enrich yourself.

It's a bit hard in the UK to separate his products from his politics. Maybe like reviewing a MyPillow in the US.

He's actually quite a bit like Musk. Only without the personality, and his only fans live in public toilets.
