Ask to read through someone's bank statement, look at their photo library, access their medical history or read all their messages. I doubt anyone would be comfortable with someone doing that. Another good example is the use of shredde

I imagine the same argument was made about the industrial revolution. There is still a lot to work for once we remove the more mundane parts of our existence.

Lets just hope there aren't any binary trees in need of inverting at Apple ;) Seriously though, seems like a perfect fit, much better than him working on something unrelated at Google etc

Remember when Google said all their ads would be text based to be less distracting... I remember thinking, "I don't even notice they are there" which ironically seems to have been the goal, with the slight tweak of "I do

It's also the conversations that go on when they are not playing that impresses me. Less so with lego, as it's look at this, then destroyed and forgotten. With minecraft they have to articulate what they have created and why, and

The Mac app store is great for simple, do one thing apps. I purchased a little app that stitched panoramic photos together, and it worked great and cost next to nothing. However I think it's a long way off working for every app and dev

I think there is an ever increasing market for reverse engineered services for products like this. I would love to have a local instance of their back end running, that I would be in total control of. That way I could choose to make it work

There is a limit on selling more than ~30 to a person per day or something. Most* packs are 16 or 32. *Obviously you can get premium products where you get 6 or so because they are in a package with metallic pain and bright colors.

It would cost less to get the unbranded kind and a bag of skittles for the sugar and a can of coke for the caffeine they often add (to make it 'fast acting'). In the UK branded ones are often $5 where as unbranded could be as litt

The number of sites that have flaws like you mentioned (encrypted data and clear text passwords) is worrying. Is there not a independent third part that can audit sites for this kind of incompetence and rank or award compliant sites so cons

I would argue they are typical, perhaps good signings for a club such as Arsenal. They were all however known, and already playing at big European clubs. None were say playing for say Halmstads BK or unknown to everyone in the top tear othe

I don't think you can class a 15 million pound Welbeck, who was playing for Manchester United and the England senior team as a "hidden gem" when compared against Shinji Kagawa who was playing for Cerezo Osaka in the J League

I would argue they are typical squad players for a team of Arsenal's level. I would be very surprised to see any of them get poached from another champions league club, or have a statue erected outside the Emirates. Analytic no doubt p

I think it's fair to say Arsene's ability to buy bargain players has died up. Gone are the days of Henry/Viera/Van Percy coming in as mediocre players only to be indispensable a season later. I think if you look at some

Peckham is up and coming though, so it seems to have worked to some extent, albeit a year too late.

>Good luck recruiting desirable high achievers by telling them you can't tell if they're good enough to hire. Typically here in London these people are already contracting, so all you need to do is convert the best ones.

by robmcm 11y ago
This is the kicker, you need to offer a compensation package that is as good as a contract rate. However you know what you are getting so you could argue it's worth it...

by robmcm 11y ago
I expect so, but you can also get double your salary with tax breaks when contracting. So it would be easy to cover private health care etc with the additional money.

I can only speak for London, but there are a lot. Normally you need some experience, ideally in a specific skill, but shorter contracts may be available for people with less experience. If you are interested, it's best to find a decent
