I was curious about the article's inclusion of Australia, so I looked into the reference. The similarities are the "intermediate liability" and method of calculating fines, which Australia introduces in the "Criminal Cod

London (Central East) Rent is 17% of my after-tax income. Bills are harder to calculate, but probably another 5%. (If I were paying the rent and bills entirely myself, it'd be closer to 50%.)

I work in an organisation that does pitch decks, many incredibly designed pitch decks, all on Google Slides, and each and every point here is painfully valid. Why is indentation in physical units and not points... and why is that linked to

I live in the UK (but not a European native) and my simple answer is that people over-simplify "Europe" — Europe is 44 countries, and the European Union is 27 member states. In reality, and unsurprisingly, both Europe and the EU a

For those reading articles like this and interested in the Australia v. Djokovic row, what it means for border security, testing/vaccination mandates, etc. its also worth remembering that up until this story broke the biggest political

I was wondering that... Potentially where the implications of quarantine are not as bad, as say, going to work? Or maybe to inconvenience someone? Maybe insurance fraud? If you were somehow covered or wanted a refund on some travel. But aga

In my experience, we primarily use Lotte in UI animations where transparency is important for overlaying effects and elements. I realise now you can bake in an alpha channel to some video formats, but both support and production of these fi

I imagine the physical footprint of large-scale mining operations will make it easy to find miners. And as Chinese companies looking to operate on the internet need to acquire a license from the Government, they're probably less likely

I'm the furthest thing from an expert, but if you think about it from a PR/publicity sense, its the best time to do it; 1. No one is paying attention due to the pandemic, 2. By 2047, there'll be no dissodence left and the tra

Even outside of the tech co.'s, cheaper talent across Europe is a huge factor. I'd also guess its because product teams are also largely centralised in the US, meaning development-focused talent is not in the same demand. Similarl
