Capturing parts of central London without people is much more of a feat than editing them out. That said, I agree with his schedule, Sunday mornings are also the only time you can drive around the city as if it's like most other citie

I keep wondering if he's missing the point of why deficit spending and putting money in the hands of the workers is also bad thing. When the consumers have limited money, they will spend that limited amount of money more wisely, and i

It sounds like if it's a matter of spending about $1mil to fight a troll in court and get the patent invalidated, the victims might do better by pooling the money they would have spent on settlement together on the first case to go to

What worries me is that the what is probably one of the major credit check agencies in the UK and some other countries is also running business the same way. Experian offers a service where you can check your own credit score online for ar

Many aspects of this post somehow resonated with me. I spent many years in corporate employment because I don't have any backup options. I also feel like I've wasted some time where others learn more about business the hard way.

I always enjoy reading these interesting strategies for marketing to the consumer. However, it makes me a little sad that I can't really apply it to a b2b product.

It's been quite ironic to me. 'losing an accent' or rather, 'gaining an American accent' to 'speak English', or rather 'American English'. That said, I've seen people from the USA move to

Last year I wrote a tool for a bank to suck in MongoDB data from 5 big nodes on physical hardware, into an Oracle database running on a virtual machine. The idea was to make it easier for others to write their reporting queries against an

I remember trying to write a web server that can respond to requests in bash, several years ago. Since it didn't have sockets support that part was going to be handled by netcat. The problem I ended up with was that bash couldn'

It doesn't even have to taste like normal beef. As long as it can be made tasty in other ways, I would happily pay more than for beef just to have another interesting source of protein.

What you describe sounds a lot like the problems the developed when supplying to government in general, whether it be IT, military, transport, etc. That said to me the US system sounds like it's so rigged that it has developed many of

I'm surprised that how many otherwise smart people gets tripped up by this. The only time you can deduce something from the exchange rate is if you compare the difference between the two rates over a longer period of time. Then it ca

That's the first thing that struck me, as I have also lived in several different countries and even the ones with a similar Anglo-Western cultures, the differences to the approach of important things like risk, truth, trust, authentici

I have a similar relationship with London. Not because of the tech scene though some of my most challenging but rewarding jobs has been in London, but purely because nothing beats being at the heart of a lot of things, especially culture.

I've actually tried Feedly first for a number of weeks and it drove me half insane for similar reasons to that of jwz. I switched to Newsblur and after a few buttons it goes into 'works almost like Google Reader' mode.

As a Google Reader refugee, I've tried out Feedly and Newsblur, and at the time Feedly was closer to what I wanted from Reader. Now, the redesigned NewsBlur totally ticks all my boxes, very nice.
