I guess that although you can make some downtime and definitely the nutrition and exercise will help but you also need to be honest about your job and role. All the self-help in the world won't work if either you are not well-suited to

He might mean that what happens if you trespass won't be shown! There might be a gas release system that would neutralise an attacker or perhaps just open the door to the hold so they freeze!

If you mean physically bigger than it is certainly true that avionics, like automative, uses larger components with higher ratings and avoids a lot of high pitch integrated circuits. This makes things easier test and likely to be more relia

I think I might agree that the Azure portal is slow, has bad UX and is somewhat inconsistent but I very much suspect that with the pace of change in cloud systems, it is very likely to be driven by some database so that it is easy to create

The difficulty for me as a FT .Net Dev is the pace of development is hurting quality. There are many edge cases and bugs that get introduced as things change from nuget to dotnet pack, from netstandard to netcore, from net core 3.1 to net 5

Another painful and predictible chapter in the world of the internet. 1) Does Disney have a claim? Maybe, maybe not. 2) Should redbubble have removed it? Maybe, maybe not. 3) Should the OP take legal action? Maybe, maybe not 4) Do most peop

Improv is an interesting take but it sounds maybe like an over-specific take on telling a compelling story. Most pitches I have seen (maybe 50-100) fail in a number of common areas: (edit: I mean the ones that did fail, not that all of thes

I think it depends on the product/idea. If you have gone straight to "renting out spare rooms" then you are also going straight to the sale rather than the marketing. If you are instead thinking like "I'd love to do

Also boring businesses need attention. Loads of people would love to run a gym but you could make 10x more by selling toilet paper or paper clips.

Not sure why I was downvoted, this was a genuine question. I understand the idea of having decentralised currency to specifically avoid being "controlled" by central banks but the example of BitCoin has not worked and I wonder if

The question I have is whether "cryptocurrencies" are fundamentally flawed because they are not linked into the fiat money system or whether it just a few examples that fail either due to their politics, proof-of-work or some othe

Inversion of control. An idea that could be quite easily implemented by national postal services who already have a database of all addresses. Instead of an address, you basically use a "PO Box number", which is an opaque handle.

GDPR explicitly permits data to be accessed for legal purposes. I'm sure most judges would be well aware that their warrants shouldn't be overly broad but there is also a trust in legal officers to be discreet enough not to disclo

That's not quite true. The Crown would have to prove that you had either obstructed the investigation (in which case the crime would be perverting the course of justice) or you have deliberately disobeyed a court order from a previous

I don't think it would be a grey area. If the police couldn't prove that you were lying or had deliberately obstructed the investigation, it would be tough luck for them if you couldn't get into your own device. If you were p

Most people are not accepting but there is only so much power you have over an elected government. Previous suggestions have been stopped though so you can kick up a stink sometimes and have the right results. I also don't think it is

"Proper criminals"? What does that even mean? There are hundreds of criminals who are not tech savvy (or not tech savvy enough) who will not have any of the mechanisms you postulate, who are frequently caught by the police and are

The part I don't understand is why didn't it fix itself relatively quickly once they realised the demand for ICs was there? Is it just because the demand is far greater than they ever had so the backlog is growing more quickly tha

This is true but also where wisdom comes in. It should be OK to spend 5 seconds saying, "I saw X, is it OK for me to fix it?", which allows people to know of a problem they might not know and also for management to say, "Don&

Is that possible? Every system we use has to be trusted at some point. I don't trust the internet so I use https but that is only really saying that I trust the IETF or my certificate provider and I (personally) have no realistic way o

This doesn't work in some fraud cases. If Madoff is selling you an investment, it is obvious what you think he gets out of it, he invests your money and keeps a proportion and that is normal business right? As the article says, his c

I despise the title "Thought leader" because it is often artificial and as the author wrote, it doesn't necessarily mean very much. It is also used by conference organisers to make their speakers sound more impressive! Anyway

I have done the maths lots of times and by the time you add up all of the support costs as well as the initial investment and setup, it is rarely, in my opinion, worth it for a small business to even consider doing anything other than renti

I don't assume it is because the police had been defunded. I think the reality is that it is not worth anyone's time to follow up e.g. £100 theft when the bank will refund you. That could easily cost £5K+ to investigate and prosec

I don;t understand how this proves the system is rigged. Isn't the simple truth that jurisdictions are sacred and just because "somebody did something", doesn't mean that the other authorities are interested for a variet

It depends exactly what you mean by performance testing. The problem with a lot of UI tests is that you might need to add artificial slowness to make the tests more likely to pass. Even waiting for something to appear can take longer than i

Selenium is still very flaky. We have almost zero problems with playwright except where we made the mistake. On the other hand, we get all sorts of weird glitches with Selenium and often have to re-run tests for them to pass with no other c

Exactly. Use your skills to maximise your revenue so you pay others to use their skills. It is not clear whether we are talking purely about design or also the implementation, which can be another world of pain. I am a very experienced (mai
