I'm curious, does he have a family? Although I like the idea of moving somewhere cheap, persuading my family that this is a good idea is quite impossible :)

Privacy issues aside, a more interesting analysis would be to determine what percentage of car drivers do not break the law. Assuming analysis is purely on breaking speed limits, then further analysis could be done based on type of road (re

Anecdotal evidence, I specifically grew a beard in 1994 in preparation for a contract interview. I was 24. I got the contract. A friend (25 years old) tried to get a contract clean shaven, eventually gave in after multiple failed interviews

To a certain extent, I understand and accept Nations spying on each other is a big game that they all play with each other. I get it. It's very James Bond. However when your agencies are having a direct financial impact on your industr

From what I gather the article seems to indicate an candidate is given access to their code base to 'do a fix' remotely. Is this a viable strategy initially? Learning the application takes time. Also there is some risk that the ca

I eat some fruit in moderation, but avoid juices and carbonated drinks which use high-fructose corn syrup. IIRC Fructose is processed in a similar way to the way alcohol is processed in your system. It's not an energy source that can b

I think it was a combination of issues: 1) If I eat a carb rich meal, I will happily go for a nap. Anecdotal evidence, had spaghetti carbonara with garlic bread at the weekend. Fell asleep watching a film for the first time in about a year

Looks like a derivation on the 5/2 diet. The 25/5 diet. My personal issue with these types of diets is that my concentration levels initially drop. I find the first couple of days extremely uncomfortable. The best lifestyle change

IIRC he had anecdotal evidence that the cheaper end was not producing maintainable code. Initial blocks of work on elance are going to be short. It's more of a proving ground. (Consider what type of work you would put on elance.) Deliv

A friend swears by https://www.elance.com/ (He hires.) What is more interesting is that he knows how long it should take (within 20%) and discards the crazy cheap offers. Much of what he does is 'find' people on e

Isn't the issue here that they are describing the methods through which they are trying to determine time travel. In effect, telling anyone in the future exactly what not to do. Let's also assume that somebody had a reason to trav

One consideration, is that prolonging human life into 100s of years would be very useful for colonisation of space.

Or at least a right to a dignified and peaceful death. I do think a society that 'solves' death would need some way of identifying when life prolonging therapy should be withheld and that this should not just be a function of inco

Is the lack of hardware scaling an attempt to keep the costs down or to 'encourage' people to upgrade their PCs? It's a beautiful piece of kit. I'm guessing any hardware scaling would seriously impact on the image qualit
