Within a team, a JS framework is critical to making sure people are writing (and even thinking) in a cohesive way that is maintainable 2 years from now.

I think you are talking about 25 days they can choose. In the UK you have 8 days that are Bank Holidays and National holidays. So this is a 33 day holiday policy.

Definitely one to watch. There is a lot to like here. I'm not saying it's for everyone but I see this as something you would use with Ionic to deliver a very good Android 5 look and feel solution.

I'd suggest technology is a key attraction. People involved in startups are there not only because it might get big, but also because the technology they are using excites them.

Well yes and no, as an inspector you are asking for a peer review of the patent. You start abusing SAWS and it will get noticed. I would assume however that software patents feature quite heavily in this pool of 'bad' patents.

The USPTO has pretty much got egg on its face when it comes to some of the patents it has issued in the past. When a performance target is the number of patents approved then this is what happens. To be able to take a patent in your case lo

I'm not saying it happened but if I had a developer who had worked for 5-6 years on an identical project, I would be very careful that your codebase does not include any of that project. I do feel you are taking somebody who had an imm

"There is nothing wrong to talk to somebody when you want to tell them something. A lot of times it's more efficient then email, IMs or other more fancier tools." For you maybe, for them no. That's not to say you should

I have to say, what you describe as a manager seems to be more about the benefit to yourself and the way you 'control' your developers and less about trying to provide an environment that is efficient for your devs to deliver code

Amazon is a classic example of this, an apparently UK based selling business that in fact sells via Luxemburg with Amazon UK only being a fulfillment/delivery service.

I'm going to assume that any significant off-shore charges from subsidiaries will be considered profit and the company will need to prove otherwise. Should cause a few cases to go through the law courts.

Don't think it's about everywhere. What they are trying to stop is the profits made in the UK being offset against artificial debts from another division of the same company in a different more tax efficient country.

So this material reflects light at a specific frequency. Could this type of reflection be used to make solar panels more efficient? I can see this material being useful on roof terraces but in high rise buildings less so. However I still do

It was even more fundamental than that. A foreign manufactured product could have the 'right to re-sale' by the owner effectively revoked. If the ruling had gone the other way, a lot of manufacturing would have moved out of the US

So if starfish eat pretty much anything that filters water (muscles), what effect would the Fukushima Accident (March 11th, 2011) have on their radiation levels? Could such an event have triggered a mutation in the virus or could the starfi

As a tool for public space redesign it might have a better application. For example say you wanted to show a road with a cycle lanes. However the road widths would need to be reasonably accurate.

It becomes viable when you use a 500,000kg weight...about 1.2MWh This is not unachievable with some lifting systems currently exceeding this lifting weight.

I'm really unfamiliar with Spotify's reimbursement model. Is it based on the flattr model? Your $7 being split between the artists you listen to?

Have to say some of the behaviour does appear to come across as psychotic within the upper echelons of Amazon. I'm guessing to get high up in Amazon you have to play quite a vicious game?

I played the original on the BBC B. It was amazing. Stunning. Blew my 14 year old mind. I feel this combination of technology and the perfect game will completely blow my 44 year old mind.

Not sure how impressive this is. Isn't this just processing power and different performance profile data? If they could solve the driving in a busy urban environment in torrential rain I would be more impressed.

Well, when we looked at moving stuff to the 'cloud', Amazon offers so so much. In effect Amazon can provide a vendor lock-in through the range of services (and their quality) it provides. That is in no way a bad thing, but just sh
