Having been working remotely on and off for the last few years, I would tend to agree. I’m flexible where I work, so if I can earn more working in an office I’ll do it - I’m not taking a 40% paycut just to work remotely. As a company you ar

Following on from this, if you don't need the latest hardware (i.e. you are currently using a laptop as your main device), you can buy used workstations on eBay rather cheap. At the end of 2016 I bought a three year old Dell T3600 with

There is still a 32bit version of Windows 10: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Microsoft-Explains-Why-Window... I wonder why they didn’t push fat binaries like Apple did?

What’s wrong with collaborating and using the collective knowledge of the human race to achieve this? It’s really no different than using private contractors to do the same thing. NASA can’t do everything themselves, so why not let Russia l

The real test will be how well they fare on the second hand market, when Emirates begin to retire their first aircraft over the next few years. Last year an A380 that had been with Singapore Airlines for 10 years was put into storage until

Does anyone know why more countries haven’t taken a stance like Germany with glass bottles? For those who aren’t aware, in Germany there are standard glass bottle shapes that are used for beer and soft drinks. Instead of being recycled, the

In most European countries it’s paid for by taxes, so you have no ideal what the real cost is.

Yes, I do most days, here it's usually below freezing for most of December - February. Yesterday it was -20C (-4F) with windchill. Just get a good coat, pair of boots, hat and gloves and it's fine.

From a design point of view maybe, but the price of the MacBook is far too much for what you get. The 2011 MacBook Air was a good replacement for the discontinued white MacBook. It was a lot more modern, but retained the same price point. I

Grade separation would work in warm climates, but anywhere it may snow it is somewhat dangerous as hitting the hidden curb could send you out of control. In one street of my city the parking was replaced with two way bicycle lanes, and ther

One thing to be aware of with OAuth 2.0 is Refresh Tokens. If the spec is followed, the Refresh Tokens are long-lived and never expire (the spec makes a suggestion that you revoke used tokens, but it's not required), so if they are lea

I understand image recognition searching for generic terms like "cars", but my point is this can even recognise brands. And it only returns photos matching that brand, so it isn't replacing "Rolls Royce" with "

It does generic terms like "cars", but it doesn't work for specific brands (at least on my 5S).

I can one up that: I was living in Dubai a few years ago and have a number of photos of fancy cars I could never even dream of affording. If I search for “Lamborghini” or “Rolls Royce” it gives me the photos of those cars. I’ve never tagged

As I see it, the problem is most people want cheap and don't know or don't care about the quality and where it comes from. Most UK supermarkets have premium brands, and you can even go organic if you want antibiotic-free and human

Why is this a problem? Is it from users recognising the name and inherently trusting it without any further thought, e.g. if someone registered "login.bankofamerica"?

It’s also worth looking at what materials you are buying. Typically clothes made from natural fibres breath better, which reduces moisture and odors. Merino wool is especially good for this, so you can wear it longer between washes.
