The express is so low on quality that it doesn't even feature in most mainstream discussion.

Despite the ruling being kept under-wraps until 10:00, looking at GBP/USD it started rising at 09:20 suggesting it leaked at that time.

Does that make the next evolution swat-ware, where you take it a level deeper and threaten them to become the recipient?

There is a difference between "acheivable" and "culture". I should also probably add I'm thinking of London-Non-Finance which is admittedly smaller than London.

When it comes to software development, London (and the UK) certainly seem to have a low pay culture.

I don't mind the concept of a third party hosted document editor, after all I use google docs. But what does irritate is that the site has dozens of third party scripts, including passing on your email to "intercom" and a bun

If you spend your nights rebuilding your company's software as an open source offering, you don't think that would contravene ethics and your obligations to your employer? Some might argue, "But existing IP and trade secrets

(preamble: I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.) Here (in the UK) it's often in boilerplate employment contracts that any projects worked at any time during employment[0] belong to the company. I tend to go through and c

They're different numbers, but it makes no difference in terms of how far along the possible scale you are. If I score money as 0-1 and luck as 0-1000, then I have a possible overall score out of 1000. If I score 0.3 on money and 600 o

What I meant by 'n' was a weighting. I wasn't clear. Let's say you have 4 factors a, b, c, d. If we are summing them then we can just sum them straight: score = a + b + c + d If we want to place more importance on some o

Given it's all multiplied it doesn't matter if the luck is from 0-1000 or 0-1, it has the same effect on the outcome. a * (b * 1000) = (a * 1000) * b Sorry, I hate bad maths, I realise it is just trying to imply that luck is more

No human resources? Who's gonna fill up the tank? Fewer human resources, certainly. But humans are very flexible. In the containerised shipping world that doesn't add huge value, but for a taxi some flexibility is a value-add, be

Credential re-use. Someone uses the same password on github as they did for photoshop and suddenly a breach in one place leads to source access. And private source code is typically full of credentials or makes it very easy to find poorly s

People enjoy space and privacy. And income inequality means that people can literally afford to pay for other people to not be near them as they travel. Busses and trains and other mass transport will return when income inequality is redu

Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good. It's not perfect so people don't use it? No, people don't use it because it has poor discover-ability and it isn't in other browsers, further reducing discover-ability.

That's very literally survivor bias. How many kids swam unsupervised, jumped off rocks and rode down steep hills and didn't return home? They're not here to tell the tale about how it "worked fine for them". I'

It's quite common (in the UK) to have properties that haev a leasehold but not freehold. Generally speaking leases are cheap and long (100 years?) and get renewed decades before the lease term ends. It does reduce the property value a

You are wildly extrapolating from your own experience. I'll provide a counter anecdote. Google is my home page, I use it so often I don't think about using it. I can't think of one thing I've searched for this morning. B

Firefox has built in screen shots through dev tools for ages. But as a developer I don't like the new tool. Users always manage to crop out the pertinent information. As a dev I want to see body, not a cut of a visible part of it. That
