It would have been interesting to look at the world in general and common factors between countries with drops in crime. The UK has had a similar drop in crime, that many attributed to lead being removed from petrol. http://www.b

Do people really only programme in one language? The simple act of connecting to a database and retrieving data by definition requires knowledge of 2 languages. What I think people do do, is silo themselves onto specific technology stacks (

If you ever get the chance I would consider redoing the graphs using https://dc-js.github.io/dc.js/ Being able to interact with data by clicking on graphs can make a massive difference to the way you can interrogate da

I just think that mixing different modes of transport create unnecessary conflicts. Yes a person cycling can mix with people walking, but at walking pace. That isn't the desire of the person cycling and the people walking have to deal

That is probably the weirdest comment I've ever seen on the election. I didn't realise the tories had a position on "ruby on rails". :) On a more serious note, the tories are not offering to get us out of the EU, they ar

There are specific techniques for locking a bike up properly, but it does need a d-lock and possibly also a cable. The idea being that your bike is the least attractive to steal. http://lifehacker.com/5942301/the-proper

Within urban environments, electric bicycles need serious consideration. A scooter does not provide you the flexibility that an ebike does. Yes they are speed limited, however they are significantly cheaper. My wife suffers from knee proble

When it comes to cycling, a network is only as good as its weakest link. Seville had an eleven fold increase in cycling by 'simply' installing protected cycle lanes. http://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015&#x2F

I think that's the fundamental flaw with Etsy. By it's very nature, you earnings are time limited. So once you get well known enough and successful, suddenly Etsy does not look attractive any more. Etsy's move into allowing d

Isn't this just a specialised pawn shop? The more interesting thing is that the 'value' of the cheese goes up over two years so there is an incentive to purchase back the cheese, although I suspect the 'bank' sells

I see driverless cars removing the need to own a personal car (within urban environments). Some people unfortunately want the private space that a car provides to them. Driverless cars enable better car pooling. "Would you be happy sha
