You could ask a less leading question, like “would you like it if you had the ability to rent infrastructure to get access to a much better internet connection that your local ISPs, and even your own government have no chance of building th

“acquiring high-quality alternative data, gathered from nontraditional sources” ? I’m only a few paragraphs into this, but sure sounds like they’ve been flogging other people’s data so far. I mean, maybe that’s legal in most places if the d

And the replacement railway safety film “Robbie” which was shown well into the 80s - I remember being quite horrified by it, despite there being no blood or gore. https://youtu.be/WxXDw3WOGQs However, the line “Robbie had l

I’m sure there are some great points in this paper but this bit of un-evidenced bit of speculation turned me off: > It has been noted that guide dogs working in towns breathe the same pollutants as humans yet do not have asthma. Could th

> If you look like an employee, regardless of the legal layout, you'll be remunerated like one. This just isn’t true. I’m currently with a FTSE100 financial institution and inside IR35 contractors make way more than perms at the sa

by danw1979 3y ago
Absolutely agree. If you’re willing to maximise your pension savings, inside IR35 work with a higher day rate is usually more lucrative overall, even though you have to pay tax the normal way (gasp!). Also, being on PAYE through an umbrell

It has. Unless you are willing to take a reduced rate, there’s not a lot out there. I’m just about to go perm again after 6 years contracting because I’ll be better off !

Could we have a decade or two of expensive civilian spaceflight to work out the kinks before Ryanair get involved ?

i.e. the key shouldn’t answer unless it’s moving or has recently moved. A cheap little accelerometer in the key fob would basically fix this whole problem.

Gatwick is an airport, not an airline. The article states that the Spanish courts assumed his message was intercepted in the airport, not over the in-flight wifi. It’s complete speculation anyway. As others have pointed out, the likely rou

I missed this, but after reading Steve’s comment, I don’t see much in his “little time machine” theory of function that conflicts with the original article’s ideas, except on the classical conditioning point.

The trackpad and “nipple” on thinkpads are awful to use. Maybe if you run full screen emacs all day and everything is a keyboard shortcut then this might seem like the best laptop in the world… .. but I’ll die on Apple hill, clutching my 2

It’s not really. For a long time their products were open source, free to use and widely adopted by the tinkering masses. Now the company has shareholders, is chasing the big juicy enterprise customers and has a pricing structure that wo

The article has nothing to do with pollution. The reference to Dieselgate might be because a geofencing condition was found in the code running the trains that caused certain misbehaviour when they were at the manufacturer’s competitor’s ma

I suppose if you think your audience is a bunch of gentle souls who couldn’t possibly cope with the shock of this first episode, yet they’d be fine by the time it came to S04E05 “Metalhead”, then yes, this is perhaps an interesting problem

The idea that one can learn to not make errors is toxic. To err is human. Sure, you can get more reliable at something, but everyone - even the most experienced - will fry the rover at some point.

rclone is a fantastic tool. I’ve done a few data migrations the other way, from NAS to M365 (for reasons) and it’s been mostly straightforward every time, even coping quite adeptly with request rate limiting by OneDrive.

I’ve loved using Hashicorp products for many years but I have (despite often being in a position to do so) failed miserably to engage in any kind of commercial relationship with them. Their pricing has always been opaque. Despite trying my

The manual just said a citric acid solution so I guess whatever source will do. I suppose it’s just as easy to get a reasonably accurate concentration if you account for the water already present in monohydrate.

Get yourself a big old tub of anhydrous citric acid from Amazon or wherever, make up a 10% solution and use that in place of rinse aid. Just check with your dishwasher manufacturer that it’s not going to cause issues first. I got a new Mie

The thing is, in orbit you don’t really need to walk around to see the pieces of debris because they come blasting at you from all directions at 7km/s.
