Par for the course with letting agents in the UK. I'm surprised they didn't begin evicting the renter. Using a property for work is often prohibited in the boilerplate rental agreements they charge £100 a time to change the name o

Draining return on capital is a better summation, in my opinion. But drain on equity is probably close enough. Offloading risk is bang on though, and is the more troubling part, again in my opinion. A risk free slice of return on capital. I

I wonder why this isn't their first reaction. The game looked reasonably well fleshed out in their latest videos (they'd even been releasing demos and alphas.) Is it possible Winterkewl are holding on tight to the IP for some reas

Is it because it's hard to understand someone that is slobbering that much?

Is no one else in the least bit cynical about the timing of MAC randomisation from Apple? Release iBeacon, then shut off an approach others could use to build a competing system.

I get what you're saying but given that there has yet to be a fine issued under this scheme what you are describing is also wagering. I am doubtful about any commercial entity's good intentions when it comes to an opportunity to e

In an odd way though, if this is what is to be done, then targeting Google, as the primary (and these days nearly only) information source for the vast majority of people in the EU (and elsewhere) is actually quite reasonable. The practical

I didn't say this case is or isn't 'clumsy', nor that it is or isn't 'meritful'. But I believe the incentive as I stated it exists, regardless of the specifics of this case.

Interesting to think that it is in Google's interest to create a clumsy system that does not properly check requested deletions. Too many deletions that have no merit under the scheme will likely create a backlash, placing a negative h

What is economic growth here? Piketty discussed the return on capital versus earnings. He doesn't claim one is superior to the other, or even that in the long run one will certainly trump the other. He simply argues based on the eviden

I don't think it is fair to say that the consumer wants cheaper beacon, even at the expense of human health. Is that choice made clear at the check out? No. Do most people know this is a choice? I suspect not.

This appears to be a fork of the work that has been taken down: https://github.com/MHM5000/swift-cheat-sheet But it's just a few Swift examples! This really concerns Apple so much?

Thanks for this. Currently living in Oxford and my experience has been similar. Have put off a move to London because I was worried that what everyone told me is true: it takes an hour to see anyone. It takes me only just over an hour to ge

I think the storage size thing is just as silly as anything else. I often wonder why they bother. My best guess is it allows them to advertise a lower entry level price while pushing people to go for the mid or higher end when they get to m

I'm not mocking the loss of meaningless model numbers. I'm mocking the suggestion to switch one lot of meaningless numbers for another.

Getting a taxi in London is not a broken concept. It is easy to flag down a taxi and there are a lot of them all over the place. They have a great charging structure, charging for distance, not time. They are safe and the taxi drivers are r

"The company says that Swift apps are significantly faster than Objective-C apps, outperforming them by over 93x." With a graph showing ObjC at 127x faster than Python, Swift 220x faster than Python. Thus the conclusion is 220 - 1

And then we'd be reading about the folly of the scheme's over-reliance on the private sector. They were not aiming at the root of the problem: massive poverty and massive inequality. In fact I'd go further, $100 million is no

So desperately want a way to sort repos other than by most recent commit time. I think I'd give a toe for this. Needs to be a sort selected for others to view when they look at my or my organisations' repo list.

Yes I saw. I still think it is a long period of time to commit per day, even with the break in the middle. I find doing this sort of thing over a few weeks really starts to grind the psyche down. Not enough time spent on a mix of things is

I've never kept office hours as long as 9am to 7.30pm. Too long in one location turns you into a monkey banging away random crap on a keyboard.
