How did they try to screw you? If you resign you withdraw most of your termination rights surely, as you are the one terminating yourself.

I'm all for advertising on the tube network, but I'm not convinced it's a good idea to allow the actual station name to be rebranded. Especially a station used so heavily by tourists.

How many sellers have delivery times like that? Do any have 1-3 day shipping? Is it because all products are coming from the far east? I'm looking into making a dropshipping app, but for my niche anything more than 1-3 days would be a

Webpack can help you with this. But I'm really sorry to tell you this... you're going to have to learn how to use it first. If you have a specific use case and mangled array of libraries, frameworks and build systems, you can&#x27

What, with your knowledge, could be done with technology to solve this problem of handoff? A notepad app probably wouldn't cut it, but is there any way to move the complex thoughts in a doctors mind into a database somehow?

This is actually the first time I've heard of Piwik but it seems like a great alternative to Google Analytics/Mixpanel/etc. Kudos to them for also finding a business model alongside the open source application. That set up us

That's a problem with people and their memory, not the news outlet. The headline at the moment literally says it was unlikely to be a drone, but that still doesn't rule it out completely. Following your rules, that wouldn't m

The broader population will only remember the drone accusation. A drone maybe hitting a plane is far more interesting and sensationalist than a drone not hitting a plane. There are thousands of instances every day where drones don't hi

Interesting idea buying property on busy roads, but why would they become less busy solely because of electric cars? Yes, they may be quieter and cleaner, but you still have the eyesore of a road, and the associated people that roads bring.

So I imagine the question every self employed person with a car will be asking themselves right now is this: will I make more money driving for Uber or driving for Amazon?

What about this as a new side project idea: A platform that allows you to find other random people at a similar stage in their side project and become 'buddies' and have to have a weekly catchup about your progress. Then you'

Wow, there's a lot of hybrid hating here. Consider this though: • You have an app that doesn't need to perform actions in sub 10-milliseconds. 11 milliseconds is just fine. • You don't require access to a whole host of system

With electric cars drawing power from a grid you reap the benefit of centralisation. It's easier to upgrade a gas fired power station to increase efficiency/reduce pollutants than it is to upgrade every vehicle on the road. You al
