True, you can't call them "backup" to their face. But you will trickle through traffic for weeks whilst you sort out teething troubles anyway, so there is not going to be volumes after a few weeks. Then eventually you can mak

Braintree is now a subsidiary of Paypal which makes me slightly suspicious of them from past Paypal experiences. Though up till now I had only heard good things about Braintree. Without more exact details it is hard to cast an objective jud

One thing with having kids and therefore very little spare time is that now I really understand and appreciate the value of focus and doing things straight away. No postponing and dragging things out in my private life as well. I no longer

With kids, my commute is my 'me time'. And nearly only me time. Once home I am a human trampoline. :) I hack away for an hour each way, especially on my home journeys. I actually appreciate the long train journey. Thankfully it is

I'm a heavy user of Amethyst, the Xmonad-inspired tiling for OSX/MacOS ( https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst ) on my laptops. And are disappointed when using my Ubuntu desktop of the lack of simple tiling inside

I think widespread charging plugs in apartment complexes and car parks come with demand and some encouragement with tax breaks over time. People that may already have an EV will prefer complexes with available plugs when moving flats, the g

No, small personal decisions are the way forward. As that accumulates opinion which then changes which party and policies people vote for, their buying patterns, etc and therefore changes government/corporations.

Is there not an ombudsman you can take this to for them to fight these claims for you? I know in the UK I would have spoken to OFCOM or CISAS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ombudsman

Been there, done that. I managed to loose 30 days of billing data without a working backup. At a 7 man music streaming startup 10+ years ago, there was an issue with our production server. The application was working, but the reporting tool

Yes, I think it was very very buggy when it launched. And at a much higher price then today. I bought it on a steam sale recently for only a few quid and it has had many patches over the years so it is now quite playable.

I am ok with that. It at least is somewhat relevant. And Im not really watching the screen yet, adjusting ear plugs etc.

It makes me happy as a Norwegian living in the UK that the major Norwegian language series (Lillyhammer, Occupied, Nobel) are now available on Netflix in the UK. I still hope they can go even further and offer globally their back catalogue

The key is the length. And how many ads in a row. I tolerate quick ads. But lengthy or too many consecutive ads, and I switch channels and never return. I would probably prefer more frequent very very brief ad breaks than infrequent longer

This a million. Hence why I only watch BBC IPlayer, Netflix and somewhat Amazon Prime. No ads. Also why I don't bother streaming from UK's other commercial channels e.g. ITV and Channel 4 as they are riddled with ads. And you have

Nokia's banana phone and Matrix comes to mind. I assume it was a product placement or they just picked what at the time was a good looking phone, though it seems odd now.

Doh, that is what I meant, no idea why I kept saying Paddington. Still upset it is not at Waterloo any more. That would have made it more attractive option for me. Will have to endure that train, tube, another tube or walk, then eurostar wi

Doable for short time, but you also have to get to and from the Eurostar train stations. For me it would be 2 hours just to get to Paddington... But if you have an office close to Gare du Nord and a flat close to Paddington or opposite then

True, it probably is a large chunk though not sure if largest. For example in the UK , education is about 1/6. Where as over 50% is NHS, welfare and pensions. (and only 0.3% is spent on unemployment) https://yougov.co.uk&#x2

Taxes is for more than just education! Anyway, you will benefit as your friends, colleagues, neighbors and especially your own children will not be burdened with the debt, and more likely to be well educated.

Or quite the opposite? These engineers may find once migrated (especially after a few years, ie slightly older) that the option of having children not to be burden in such a system, might find the safety net of not worrying about health and

Do you sit close to Ezekiel as well? Though having someone sit near me not knowing what I am/we are working on would surprise me. But it does happen especially if there are hotdesks nearby for people from other offices to work on tempo

Yes and no. UI looks wise it is ok, but UX wise it is a nightmare. When I try to find a product I often can't find it. Or I can only find the previous year/range's version. Or I can only find it if I pretend to be in the US.

When driving is the only time I listen to radio. And only radio. I mostly listen to the UK stations BBC Radio 5 (no adverts) and Talk Sport which are only available on AM (MW). And my reception generally is always quite crap. I can't w

Kudos to Craigslist, Whatsapp, Instagram etc that managed to keep staff size low. At least until they were acquired... Only a very strong non changing management that say no to nearly all feature changes can make that possible. 99% of compa
