That's not how any metro transport works. The Tube is manic at peak times, because...peak. But everyone mostly pays a flat rate for using the whole system each week (within the zones they travel to at least). This is a solved problem.

Where is gigabit available in the UK? I live in Zone 2 in London and best I can get is Virgin's crappy, contended, DOCSIS rubbish. Back home in NZ I could get actual FTTP and it was fantastic.

The BBC is independent by decree and design. There’s certainly an establishment slant, but that’s down to hiring decisions and the class system more than anything.

The same Gavin Williamson who threatened China with military action while the Chancellor of the Exchequer was there trying to hold trade talks? I’m shocked. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/feb/16&#x2

I think a lot of people are missing the point about what actually makes a startup work in the early stages: a reliable and affordable route to customers. If you have this then go for it. If you don’t, then your real first step is to find th

I do? I get the paper on weekends. It's nice and much superior to reading on screen. I find I take in a lot more on a wider variety of topics due to the lack of algo feeds.

Nah, it's just a bad product that demands too much attention by design.

When I joined the startup I work at currently I had one key criteria: no Slack. We first tried Zulip, but the interface is a mess and everyone hated it. We've since switched to Twist and it is brilliant. The threaded model is genuinely

That is just not true. I bought one and I have a thin laptop which runs OS X and has 32gb of RAM, 1TB SSD and 6 Core i9. Mostly use it for music production and it's genuinely incredible. I can work wherever I am, with a full complement

Oh yeah, can't edit my comment, but you've got the cost wrong. It's a two part application process, so when you apply to get endorsed, it's £456. Then, once you've been endorsed, you can apply for the actual visa us

For some reason the UK Tech Nation visa isn't filled in. Proper name is Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent). Tech Nation are the 'designated competent body' for the tech specialistaion - it's a generic visa for specialists who&#

IDK, perhaps it's cos we're 31 and 32 so a bit more mature and had been warned and been able to talk to friends who've done it. But once we got enough info to get an idea of cost per head for food, venue hire fee, we then put

My comment was about comparing and contrasting the amount of cold interest(/desperation). I wasn't passing comment on how hard it was to recuit - of course it's harder to recruit experienced people.

I'm advertising for 2 roles at the moment: a Senior Backend engineer and a Junior Frontend (in London, UK). Almost impossible to find someone for the backend role, but I've had to turn off the advertising as I've had 71 peopl

Are you English? The sheer ignorance in this response suggest so. Ireland is a Soverign Country. England made its choice, and now has to live with it. The empire is gone.

I keep thinking about leaving - I'm a NZer in London, but I fucking love living here. There is a serious problem with the way the elite treat this country though. It becomes more apparent the longer you live here, with the way David Ca

I'm not an expert, but I looked at both BQ and ELK and went with BQ just for ease of ops and the fact we can use SQL, which makes it more accessible to other team members who know SQL. We're a small startup though, so last thing I

Meta base is OSS and can run on heroku. tableau isn’t too badly priced for one license. But that’s about it - I’ve done a lot of research recently

100% recommend the BigQuery and Segment combo. It’s so easy to setup and querying is just SQL. Few annoying issues though: Metabase is brilliant, but doesn’t support big query datasets properly so isn’t really able to be used. We’re in the
