   The rolling hills of Wales and northern England are never going to be great for crops, but they are perfect grassland for feeding cattle and lamb. The grass hills are beautiful, it would be a great shame to see them converted to crops. I wo

   I can see why you’d not want to give up the time to train, but improving the open source projects you rely on could be a really nice job for a summer CS intern - if 12 weeks intern salary is < 3%.

   Where did you get 10% from? According to TechCrunch... In the UK it was 10% of total smartphone sales, 25% of Apple’s. In the USA it was 5% of total smartphone sales and 16% of Apple’s. https://techcrunch.com/2016/08&#x

   This has the added advantage of levelling the grid load beyond just the charging, like V2G without the car.

   How does it compensate for being in your pocket?

   Locally recorded voicemail only makes sense for landlines; there’s a good reason it doesn’t exist in phones. Visual voicemail is implemented if your carrier supports it.

   Not a very good example. VIPs don’t increase the cost for other punters.

   You say that because the prediction line lags the price line? That’s not playing catch up, if the prediction was made at time 0.

    If they could buy within months, does that not imply there were in fact saving? Just their savings seemed small until moving?

    Concentrate on breathing in and out of one side of that nostril. Sounds pretty stupid but it’s no different to OPs suggestion - it will cause the same reactions.

    Credit cards have section 75 protection, PayPal does not. It’s certainly convenient to use, but comparatively unwise. Edit: except for small transactions when 75 doesn’t apply. Also I don’t know if it’s in Poland too, but I’d guess so.

    Did they remove the “Secure” label too? Doesn’t say in the blog post.

    5.6% of staff signed a petition and 1.6% resigned. In comparison, the largest petition in the US was 4.6 million signatures, a mere 1.8% of the working age population.

    Two things they are known for; Not allowing very large balances to be withdrawn at once. Complying with asset freeze orders.

    Do many staff have authority to make bank transfers? Are you suggesting they go to finance for every purchase?

    Do you have figures to back up this claim? I understand for regular procurement the importance of cost saving. But in product development paying everything with bank transfers rather than with corporate cards sounds like a ballache.

    In the USA perhaps. OP is from India, where median wage is ~$2 a day. Saving $5 would equate to 2.5 days effort per domain.

    Those really shouldn’t have been the biggest takeaways. Cure vs prevention. If you write a blog on behalf of a business, perhaps ask someone to read it over - preferably someone who holds the views you seek to attack.

    Saying “When you drive you are in control” is fine, but you’re not always the only person impacted when you crash. As we have no control over how others drive, statistics are more relevant. As a pedistrian, I care about cars being on averag

    I don’t think it’s an unreasonable guess than most people who use a master password in Firefox do so to prevent family/friends sharing their PC from easily discovering their passwords. I can’t imagine them being too concerned with brut

    Smoothies are horrifically sugary, I was shocked when I found out. A blender probably isn’t a bad investment... I’m not sure if they come in child safe flavours, maybe a nutribullet?!

    I used to snack on carrots and mini cheeses as a child! Is Home shopping available in your area? It’s a lot easier to avoid sweets if you aren’t walking around a supermarket.

    You do understand this is a forum run by a VC? Probably not the place to hang out if you’re as deeply affected by plugs as your comment history suggests.
