Odd. I was on 143k usd before I left London and now work remotely for about 188k usd for a UK company. This was was with stock options as well. I'm still contacted by recruiters for salaries around that so the jobs exists. All anecdo

The UK has pretty national rules for housing and still has a housing crisis.

Usually summed up as freedom from and freedom to. It's an over generalization but the US has tended to favor freedom from and Europe freedom to.

I should clarify. It's not impossible to get higher quality meat but it's harder. I can go into almost any supermarket in the UK or France and get very high quality meat easily. I find that in Canada and the US it's much

I was replying to a comment that said solar panels are vulnerable to terrorists. If terrorists have a nuclear warhead they are going to use it against a city not solar panels. Similarly if terrorists have a weapon that can take out thousan

Having lived in Europe (UK, France) and North America (Canada) I can assure you that American chicken is not just as good. It's not just chicken. All sorts of meats are worse in quality.

The terrorist attack that is going to take out 1000s of square kilometres of solar panels? Surely they'd just attack a city if they had that amount of firepower? Or in the more likely case that they don't it's easier to att

People think the end users are the victim here. This equally applies if my default search engine is something else. Bing is still going to override it.

Have care with using this. We were using it and repos were renamed and moved causing all sorts of issues.

Low cost airlines have thrived in Europe for the last 30 years. The only thing that was protecting the trans Atlantic airlines was that there were designated airlines allowed to fly those routes.

Just curious how you'd explain Germany and the high levels of unions in the export industries there? You can hardly say that there is little global competition or high levels of protectionism for them.

And this is why Uber lots it's license. It wasn't properly vetting private hire drivers. It's not hard. Follow the rules and they'll get their license back.

It doesn't matter if it shows the route. Uber in my experience will side with the driver if they take a bad route. I was swindled for triple the price because of a fictitious gas leak. Driver took a very circuitous route that just s

I doubt there's any AI involved in this. I think they've never bothered to really consider what a fingerprint actually looks like. This is fairly evidenced by how every single phone fingerprint read seems to readily accept many

My guess is that the screen protector is blocking the ultrasonics so when you 'register' a finger you're actually registering the screen protector. This means that any finger will work as each time it see the same screen pro

The painful bit is having to fill out anything at all. I lived and worked in the UK for 11 years and I didn't have to fill out a form once in all those 11 years. My brother who had rental income only needed to fill out a small form fo

Hi you've found me. 11 years working in London without taking a black cab. Taken an Uber once in those 11 years.

The Budapest metro is the second oldest metro in the entire world. Only preceeded by the London metro. Boston is the 6th oldest beaten by Chicago in the US.

It's not about the UK legislating for them. It's about the UK not protecting them anymore. The UK constantly works to keep them off tax haven lists.

The article says that for 1000 km/h they would be using vacumn tubes. With vacumn tubes there's no air resistance and theoretically no need to continue adding power once you're at speed.

I don't understand why including the price of shipping in the cost of the item is so bad. We include the price of everything else related to the item in the price. I personally like to know the actual price when I look at the item. S

This doesn't make any sense. If you are the sole provider of a drug that is the only drug that can cure a certain illness then it makes sense to charge every single customer exactly as much as they can afford. (probably enough to bank

I'd be interested to know what job pays 4 times as much in the US as the UK. Also the UK is not a good example of a place with strong labor. It's much closer to the US. Look at quality of life in places like Germany or Austria.

All the vegetable oil I buy here in the UK is actually 100% canola oil. You have to look at the ingredients list to realise it since it's just labeled as vegetable oil.
