From my experience it’s more favourable to startups. The investor regulations are good so there’s a decent amount of capital, and the English language makes it easier for talented employees to immigrate to the UK. The existing financial hub

I think I read (and I may be wrong) that the costs for the vaccines per dose were roughly as follows: Moderna: £45, Pfizer: £20, Oxford: £3, The Oxford one is also easier to store and transport.

I’m not sure about the US, but in the UK you would have to be legally paid for this work.

I think to make the most of it you need to engage your imagination. Relating stories and context to the facts transforms it from ‘staring at flashcards for hours’ into more of a game and something to enjoy. And the great thing is, because o

Think AR glasses constantly updating with new 3D data as you walk around town. E.g. Apple are rumoured to be working on their own AR glasses for release within the next couple of years.

The big difference is seamless integration with other Apple products. This is why they’ll take market share, it will just work with your iPhone better than the echo does.

I don’t know anyone who hangs their tv on the wall, so it’s possible it’s not as common as you think.

Does Japan really have a ‘lost generation of jobless’ if their unemployment rate is only 2.29%? That seems incredibly low to me. Source: https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/JPN/japan/unemployment...

The EU has much bigger problems of its own than those seen in the UK. E.g. see Poland.

Journalists have already testified in this case to the contrary of what you said. I.e. They do help sources stay undetected, providing advice and sometimes help where appropriate.

I believe that is incorrect. Assange is accused of helping Manning cover her tracks rather than extract the information in the first place. I.e. he was trying to protect his source. In addition, multiple journalists have spoken out to the e

No source is unbiased, but rather than making an ad hominem attack, could you instead address the facts, describe in what way you think it unbiased and your evidence for that.

Aha. Thanks for the feedback. Do you mind saying what’s unclear to you or what part of the homepage is unclear? Would a screenshot on the homepage help? I think I may have overlooked this because it’s such a simple product. You add your con

Hi everyone, Poto lets you easily share contact details with friends and family. It's difficult to leave Facebook as it's often the only way to reliably contact people. I created Poto to change that, to act as a universal address

I think that some of the features they have are just not possible as a mail app sitting on top of another service.

This is quite an innovative approach to email, and they describe the features here: https://hey.com/features/ - screening by default - removes email tracking pixels - streamlined reply/read flows - improved attach

DHH has stated that they were already profitable by that point, and that they took the Bezos money off the table. I.e. It wasn’t invested into the business.

Possible that it’s simply due to increased testing capacity. Before, many cases did not show up in the figures because there weren’t many tests carried out.

Not sure why this is upvoted, it looks like a standard internet rant with little factual basis or analysis. No mention of contact tracing, testing, and apps/surveillance as the most likely exit strategy for both US and UK.

I don’t think this is the time for snarky comments about his politics. He’s in intensive care and his wife is pregnant. I hope he gets better soon and I hope his family are doing ok at this difficult time.

Look on the elixir job boards, slack and forum. Some companies are hiring for multiple roles. E.g Whitehat are hiring 10 more devs, Toyota are building a team of 20. Etc. There are more open positions than Elixir devs in London atm.
