I recently looked for a co-working space in my city and it seems like most places cater for companies rather than individuals. Spaces (the same group as Regus) opened a 6 floor complex earlier this year. Their co-working space has a grand t

I think a lot of it is down to people being clueless about what colour temperatures mean and what should be used in what location. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people assume "higher is better". You also need to conside

Does CUPS support securely printing over the network, or can you only do it with a VPN?

In the Middle East the Land Cruiser V8 is king. It's not because of looks (although IMO they don't look bad), but what it can do. Can you use this to overtake someone on the hard shoulder (half covered in sand) and go bumming arou

How much snow do you get there? I live in Northern Europe and drive a Prius and have no issues in the winter. Last year we went to visit my wife's grandma, who lives in a 'village' (nearest neighbour 1km away) ~5km down a une

Electric heat pumps work fine in cold climates down to -20C as well. Below that they switch to resistive heating, so if it only drops below that for a few days a year it's still cost effective.

Plus if the leaks involve air circulating though insulation in the cavity or attic, whatever is in there will end up in your house air. That could be dust from construction, parts of the insulation material, or decomposing rodents.

I have a set of noise cancelling Sony MDR-1000X (previous generation) and just having the headphones switched on without music playing, they don't do much to block voice. However if I play music quietly I can't hear anything, even

I don't even believe the argument of open offices being more space efficient is true. I work in a co-working space with an open office section (fortunately there is a written rule that you must be silent), and surrounded by offices tha

I find I can focus pretty well in a noisy coffee shop, but if I'm in an office and someone on the desk next to me starts having a conversation, I lose all focus.

My wife and I were watching videos by Dr Gabor Maté last night - he has some strong opinions on child development and addiction (inc. social media addiction). I'd highly recommend watching them if you are a parent.

I bought a Dell multifunction colour laser printer / scanner / fax (C1765NF) around 8 years ago. It is perfect for occasional usage, and a full set of toners is only £25. Unfortunately they sold their printer branch and no longer

I'd say it depends on the type of work. A builder who is doing manual labour laying bricks? Sure. A designer following a creative brief to produce a new full page ad? I don't think you can force that type of work, so putting press

I imagine a big part is just having to talk to the airlines legacy systems. If Skyscanner (et al) had access to all the data, I expect they could compute prices quicker and give better options. I assume this is why Google bought ITA Softwar

What about companies like IBM? The company was originally foundered in 1911, but you could say their heyday wasn't until half a century later (or even more), after the original founder had left.

Israel is probably just too small of a market at the moment. In most European countries there still isn't a official Tesla store or service center. I live in the Baltic's and a friend of a freind has a Model X which was involved i

Thats not really what I'm saying. As a late 30 something you may be willing to work long hours, but the company may not even consider you due to your age. That is ageism.

This is the case in my country as well, it make sense that the car owner should be responsible for whatever actions that car takes if the driver cannot be identified. Even if it is stolen it works, as you would obviously file a police repor

At least where I am in Europe, insurance premiums and speeding tickets are completely separate. It makes sense that people who get caught have to pay higher premiums though, as I assume they are more likely to be involved in accidents.

This isn't a bad idea. If the production of the show has already been funded, then theoretically Disney can charge less for the distribution rights. The problem is they won't do that though, they'll just pocket the extra. Bit

It's also worth mentioning that these services are very big outside the US. Premium (cable) TV was never such a big thing in other countries, and those where it was somewhat popular never charged as much as the US.

The problem with this mentality is that it leads to ageism and encourages companies to hire 20 something's who they expect can bend to their schedule. They are going to assume anyone in their late 30s or older has kids or wants kids, s

Not out-of-the-box, but Tesla will sell you a dongle which converts to their proprietary connector.

There's nothing wrong with over-insulating (although at a certain point it is no longer economical), but you need to ensure the house is ventilated to prevent mold. You also need to ensure you choose the correct building materials, so
