   Pretty much this. In an economic migrate face-off between HK and sub-Saharan Africans we only get one winner.

   If you don't return something at the end of a contract is that theft? or piracy? Its not like the UK had a choice. We're you expecting them to go all Hawaii on the situation and just annex it?

   I've just finished this maddening process for the 4th time in my "career" and it was as frustrating as i remember. To all potential employers and recruiters: When a candidate asks you for the agenda or some indication to the

   I don't really want my political views enforced or challenged on Facebook, its really not the place for it. Why should i have to when all i want is a C rate messenger service?

   old.reddit.com along with the RES plugin and an ad blocker almost make the site usable. I have no idea how people use the new layout with a standard browser.

   Because you militarised them. I'm sure walking 2 steps further down the wrong road will eventually get you to the right place. Also i thought the point of the 2nd amendment was so you could rise up and overthrow a tyrannical government

   Considering i've seen armies less well equipped then your police force and civilian population i think its a miracle the shooting hasn't started yet. Y'all ever considered gun control or is that taboo? Maybe if you weren&#x27

   Holding properties isn't a business, its an asset of a business at best. The business is providing shelter as a service. Never thought i'd find a reddit style anti-landlord on HN.

   It is a risk, and any good business man/women will work to minimise risk.

    I would think not. I assume section 8 is our equivalent of Housing Benefit. I know plenty of landlords who wont accept HB tenants because properties have come back absolutely trashed before.

    Go deploy a standard Oracle 19c multitenant database on windows server 2016, time it, then come back and post results. I bet its pretty close to 30m based on experience.

    Oracle consultant here -> The Oracle world is shrinking admittedly and its shrinking from the smaller end up. I almost never get called by a company with less then 500 users or $100k a year of licence obligations. Oracle is a tried and t

    And yet still not the worst airline in Europe, Ryanair takes that shitty award for some truly appalling business practises.

    You can still get this on reddit but it requires small subreddits and good/active moderation. Once a sub gets over the 5k-10k subscriber mark a hivemind really sets in, getting on to /r/all once or twice is enough to ruin a s

    Not working in the UK. We got some really weird EU rules a year or two back which fucks about with a lot of content.

    The people who steal slate or copper probably aren't the kind of people who can sell off kilometres of fiber cabling. Difficulty to offload vs. Value of the product is the main driving factor i would guess.

    > ISPs or dark fiber providers have detailed maps aligning with road networks. Most of the time. I worked a summer for Virgin (UK) basically digging holes to run cables. I'd say 1 in every 6-7 jobs we dug the hole and found no exist

    I love B&H, we planned family holidays from the UK specifically around buying from this shop. When the $/£ exchange was healthier we got some real bargains!

    They have the worst and least accessible healthcare system in the western world. The only reason those numbers aren't higher is because they're testing less people per population then Vietnam.

    Maybe technology is to blame but in a different way. Its well accepted now that a person will be offered two different prices for a product or service depending on a wide number of factors. Included but not limited to: New/repeat custo

    Can confirm, haven't been to the London office in 2 weeks and have no intention to go for the next month or so. The idea of getting a tube at 8:30am isn't a pleasant one.
