I am a new model 3 owner in the UK and the insurance is astronomical. Despite having a license for more than 9 years (usually the maximum for UK insurers), having no convictions, it being stored on a driveway with CCTV my quote was £2,600

It’s shame that this wasn't used in production and then nefariously used against Putin.

You're not doing anything “right” neither is anyone else. That’s the beauty of life. Make the most of your freedoms and privilege, which it sounds you are and do things you love. Actually, I retract my original statement, it sounds li

This is so well written and so cool! I love how it's on a real cartridge. I had no idea this would even be still possible. Amazing work!

It is, and the one of the worst pieces of "software" I have ever has to work on. I was working for a global car manufacturer who consolidated their various local websites onto it. It's USP is it's integration with the A

This is an approach that worked for you. You have employed your own CBT technique it sounds like, and that's great! Bit I think it's unfair to imply that you can just work harder and come to the same conclusions without a profess

I think most people who suffer from actual depression, not a just a bout of sadness need long term treatment. The NHS is poorly provisioned in this way, sadly. Just like a diabetic who needs insulin everyday people with serious psychologi

In my experience, you need to be there face to face. I can't explain it, but it's all the nuances and the uncomfortable silences. I was seeing my therapist for a while via Skype, even though he lives a few miles up the road. I now

In the UK you can get therapy on the NHS, but it's mostly CBT and not for any extended period. Psychotherapy, which is what is what most people need with long term mental health issues (like myself) is mostly private. You can pay anyth

As someone who suffers from depression and has gone to therapy for over 5 years (I am also on medication), please try and force yourself to go. It will most likely change your life for the better, if not, what have you wasted? A bit of mone

If you need to create on-boarding your product is to complicated. Add features over time, measure there impact and remove them if they don’t work.

“IT politician” is a great phrase, I will be stealing that - thanks!

I agree and what I think (optimistically) could come from regulation. Surely by making these views and opinions less discoverable will help them become less mainstream?

The issue here will be securing a conviction or affecting actual change. I suspect the cost to conviction/prosecution (for the Uk taxpayer) will be so high, and the fines/action so small for the respective platforms, it will hardl

I agree but wonder if this is a sign of music streaming becoming a utility? Do most users care about sophisticated discovery and recommendation engines? Or do they just want billboard 100 hits?

BBC news is separate division and has a strong leader (like sport). BBC design is obsessed with making everything look the same, it’s been going bland for years. BBC3 was another missed opportunity like this one. The walled gardens have

Having worked at the BBC several times it’s yet again insular thinking. In short, they’ve spend a load of (wasted cash) on a proprietary app that is useless, but some “strategy” dork - who’s never actually built anything - thinks he can ge

I think a dumbest question thread might be quite amusing? I’ll go first, because I’m quite sure I’ll win... This was for a front-end mid weight software engineer position. The candidate was smart and a 100% hire (I’ve since hired him 3x in

Although I’m a product person (CPO) I’ve hired (alongside a CTO) maybe 100+ engineers in my time and I’m hoping my perspective is useful/helpful. The process that my CTO and I have found works best is as follows; A 20min phone intervie

This is a really great point, most of my friends still don't use half of the features exist currently. I have no idea how you'd go about messaging that to users.

This may depend on their chronotype. When we were cave people some of us evolved to stay up later and guard the camp from predators, some of us got up early to hunt. You need to try and support that where possible, but not to overindulge it

Teenagers need 8-10 hours, not 7-9, but it's not just about the total time spent asleep (although this is super critical for teenagers as they need much more) it's about the quality of sleep. Devices close to bed time stimulate t

1. Yes. But not to close to bed time (1-2 hours before you need to sleep) 2. More like 1-2 hours, hard but do it and you’ll notice the difference. Also leave your phone in the kitchen. Even having it in your bedroom stimulates your mind. “I
