What’s the target market? Holiday makers? People travelling round the world? People emigrating? People travelling for work? CxOs? Salespeople? Rich world managers checking in on offshore manufacturers? Their employers?

My first thoughts are: - How much is this going to interfere with breathing? How much aerobic capacity would I lose? - How do we prevent this from continuously triggering a gag reflex? - If it does catch some food, how do we get that food o

What, do you mean in your windpipe?

It will make it harder to work while commuting. (Not that I commute these days, but maybe again in the future.) Which has its pros and cons.

They’re tracking the value of money. RPI/CPI aren’t only tracking the prices paid, but also the quality of goods exchanged. For example, TVs used to be bulky boxes, with a small, low res, black and white screen. These days they are fla

Meh. There’s no single real rate of inflation. Different methods of measuring inflation have their pros and cons. Meanwhile, neither RPI or CPI try to track increases in the cost of living.

I thought Cloudflare had a deliberately manual (and therefore more secure but also more expensive and slower) process for registering domains. Has that changed?

First question, assuming that you’re Microsoft and you want to do this: How much of the Windows 98 code base was licensed from other companies? (i.e. Windows code that MS doesn’t own the copyright to.) Can you trace all those copyright owne

I don’t believe we have anything like the American Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac in the UK.

I don’t understand how the government gets a property tax: the mortgage interest goes to the bank, not the government. What am I missing?

Why? Where’s the synergy?
