That assumes that all money is of equal value. Which on one level it is, but on another level, the relative purchasing power in different geographic areas is a real thing. Normalising based on that means that in effect you're paying pe

They do this in South East UK using a dedicated third rail for power. As I understand it, the limit is 100mph for this technology, although I don't know the physics, so it's not even fast enough for classic High Speed

You don't have to use React. The template gives it to you, but if you delete all the code and never import React, you're never using it. I use CRA nowadays for either simple vanilla JS/SCSS brochure-ware sites, or for simple

I'm not entirely sure it's fair to say that London's minicab market was particularly corrupt. Uber's real success in London was marketing and investment meaning that it'd could grow rapidly, I believe Addison Lee ha

There are parts of the world where IP exhaustion is forcing the hand of ISPs. My home broadband connection is with a fairly minor player who don't have the address space of the incumbent telcos (but do full FttH), so I have native IPv6
