That was a sales office which opened a while ago. Right next to a great American diner place, ironically.

And yet I regularly get recruiter emails looking for "rockstar" developers who'll work startup hours... for £25k (~$38k). Thanks, but no thanks.

Joined a startup with 4 founding C-levels and 2 employees. Good times.

As a Brit, this really grinded some of our gears. http://goo.gl/6aqeb (Redirect to Wiki, since apostrophes in URLs don't work).

I was going to say.. western airlines like BA operate flights into New Delhi, and I can guarantee you they would not be landing their 747s on runways with people anywhere nearby.

But would adding an extra caution light / sound to the already-stressful situation have helped? I agree that averaging the inputs seems like an imperfect solution, but what would the alternative be... ignore both or ignore just the Captain/

Ditto First Great Western. The biggest insult was paying £450/m for a 30-min (admittedly high-speed) journey where you were lucky to get on the train, let alone get anywhere near a seat. Especially annoying when you'd see the 4 full carriag

Not to nitpick, but the spelling mistake in the email announcement doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

When I wrote to my MP (who simply forwarded the letter on to the Home Office), I got the same response.

"The firm has a $1.6bn (£1bn; 1.3bn-euro) contract with the US space agency (Nasa) waiting to be triggered on the successful recovery of Dragon from the ocean." So.. no pressure or anything.

Yep, fell for this too. Joined as their second hire, working under a senior developer... who promptly left. I assumed his role (and responsibilities), but not his pay. Not to worry I thought, stock options are coming. 11 months later I got

Ryanair sell "e-cigarettes" on their flights.

They have a Firefox add-on too, which brings up a little bar at the top of the page when you visit one of their partners, advising you that you could earn cashback.

I don't know.. I'd feel a little sleazy sending a referral link to a friend.

Fair enough, I think it's personal preference like you said. Perhaps being able to choose a range would be good too.. recently I was looking for a 1 or 2 bed.

It's great that reporting a listing as expired hides it from your map - most sites offer "add to favourite" but what I usually want is to remove things I'm not interested in and see what's left. Maybe a way to do that without going as far a

Really cool site - my only (minor) criticism would be that the sliders for number of bedrooms let you select (approximately) 1.3 bedrooms, etc. Would be nice if they 'snapped' to 1/2/3... Other than that, very useful!

#1 - ABSOLUTELY. Having recently moved in London, my first approach was to search sites like RightMove, etc. and create a little spreadsheet of 15 properties we'd shortlisted. After calling each estate agent, not a single property was actua

I don't really understand why you'd move a tech business to somewhere where there's famously a shortage of tech talent? Sure the pool of engineers in London may be smaller, but so's the demand surely?

From the video, it seems like the main advantage is cost. Then again I happily pay the £50 (or whatever it is) for my unlimited Ocado pass, to avoid having to own a car in London, take the time to pick up the groceries, etc.
