This is an interesting article but I wonder if jister can help me understand something. The numbers from the WHO say Philippines had a low rate of drug addiction. So, to an outsider this looks like an extreme solution to a problem that does

Okay, so presumably you are rendering this geojson in something like a google maps data layer, or some other kind of mapping library. That means if you give it some GeoJSON which describes some points outside the normal screen bounding box

I don't know exactly what kind of data you are using but here are a few things - Often with geodata, people viewing a map of the whole country are interested in a different subset of the data than people viewing a small local area. For

I suspect surgery can give us some interesting insights here. My understanding is that surgery research mostly takes place at university hospitals. I think that, outside medical devices, there isn't the same kind of non-practising scie

The large salaries paid to bankers are based on the idea that elite bankers are a rare and precious commodity - one that it is worth paying for. Presumably this is elite bankers are the most connected and collaborate to rig markets best. Pr

Am I right in thinking thought, that the bulk of UK financial policing is done by the City police, who are responsible to the cooperation, the same way the Met police are responsible to the London Mayor? Police tend to police in the interes

It's being presented as testing hardware, so you can get to know their stack. At $19, it's probably being subsidized substantially. In the same way free AWS instances are not adequate for hosting a production website, this is a

Typically with ASP.Net, you will be writing a lot of your logic in a compiled, typed language (even if the types are mostly inferred). That removes one class of run time error from your application. On the other hand, for the next year at l

Additionally, as the price of houses in London increases, Landlords are much more likely to end / refuse to renew tenancies. Maybe they want to sell, and maybe they want to renovate first. Maybe they want to bank the gain in price, or

This is the imaginary database but Google knows a lot more than that. There are also vectors for the roads, with a link between that data and streetview. You can click on the map and google will tell you that you're at 24 Burgess Stree

Poor guys. Really interesting reading though. I initially thought it was weird they had to run several "processes" in case 1 failed. But running out of space or something correctable is actually something likely to happen. Is this

For the bottom 50% of earners, real wages are more or less the same now as they were in 1970. They went up for a bit from the 90s to 08, but they are back at 1970 levels now. Because wages have recently fallen, people in this group feel ve
