I'd disagree if you have a job where you will earn most by far in London. You can live really cheap if you share a flat and you dont need a car, so you'll save much more in London than other places. When you have a family things a

These big cities will be fine. They can easily afford to protect from rising flood waters. Its the smaller cities and towns all down the coasts that can't afford to do anything or are literally built on sand. Cities in poor countries a

You're probably right. You definitely shouldn't be able to recover your online credentials then immediately transfer out all the money.

The fact that ACH is slow is a feature not a bug. Remember that when people want to speed up money transfers. > After a couple of days, our bank reversed the $25,000 charge and told us that the fraud department caught the ACH withdrawal

Isn't this just normal in the US? I'd expect 3/4 of the delivery guys in NYC to be illegal too.

You can visit Thomas Edison's house with his lab near Newark NJ. There are two electric cars on display. Interestingly here it says in 1914 38% of all the cars on the road were electric; 22% gasoline, 40% steam powered. http:/&#x

I'm curious how spaces like this are run. Who identifies the need, finds budget or space, then operates. Is it invite only or kind of underground word of mouth?

I was a dev in the 90s and the start of the 2000s and always had admin rights. I dont need it any more. If you really had an edge case that requires admin rights I'm surprised. If you really need SQL server on your workstation you shou

If you want a proper dev environment that matches your target you need a proper server to have sql server installed on. I'm pretty sure someone can install sql server on your workstation if you really need it. User permissioning is a d

I think most of the reasons for admin rights are no longer valid. Its easy to change user environment variables and lots of applications can be installed as a user. Why would you need admin rights? Dropbox/googledrive is a huge securit

Were you around in 2001 after the dotcom crash? It was really difficult to find work. I know a few web devs that never worked in the industry again.

I think its really important to have your own time in a family. I think its a bit weird to go on holiday by yourself but that is maybe the best way. My wife goes home with the children for a while in the Summer and I'm left by myself a
