Speaking as someone who has led teams in small startup .net companies. At your level I'd not really be thinking too much about specific C# skills, I'd just expect you to have them. Books wise I'd be looking for texts with a w

Can I push you to give it a try - places with honesty boxes feel like places with honesty boxes if that makes sense. Obviously you might get your car egged once - but you can get eggs anywhere. If it's any help, my (admittedly very nic

Does it keep teasing a war with China - seems like China keeps teasing an attack on Taiwan and the US is deliberately ambiguous on how it would respond to such an attack. I think all this talk of who would win often ignores that factor to.

It makes sense when you remember that the vast majority of football is played by purely amateur players - the rules need to handle a village school as well as the world cup final.

On the battery front that really is just a function of your use. I've got a smart phone I use purely for work, which in reality means sending a handful of messages in a day. That battery lasts 5 days or so. Also my first phone, a &qu

I don't know for sure (not in that world) but wouldn't this make sense from a compartmentalisation perspective? You have a person that knows X and a person that knows Y, but knowing both X and Y is vastly more valuable. To keep t

Potentially - it's not like a strictly defined term. With mainstream political parties you'd more often think about specific policy areas than the whole business.

Populism is definitely a part of democracy, but it is a criticism from "responsible" politicians for "irresponsible" ones. Obviously this is all politics so you needn't worry about the specifics of what actually is

So, we often look back on the old days with rose tinted glasses. But let me recount my IT classes from the 90s. We'd sometimes go to the library to write something up in MS Word. We always liked this because it would be a good 5-10 m

Coming from a UK background something I've been long curious about is is there a constitutional reason for when the opposition presidential candidate is selected. It seems like the current way of doing things leaves the opposition rudd

It's not actually really come up fortunately, but we have an agreement that we have £X allowance a month for our own spending. We don't then need to justify what can come out of that allowance, and if we need to cut back on that s

We do something very similar. All pay goes into a joint account and all the bills and joint expenses come out of that one. We pay ourselves each an allowance that covers our personal spending. That's basically everything I spend money

Worth noting that UK missiles (but not warheads) are taken from a joint pool with the US. They have completely shared maintenance, so any reliability concerns are shared. Similarly, the testing is also joint so this should be seen as two fa

That's definitely impressive tech, and I'm sure the experience inside a headset is pretty incredible. What I'm saying is that it is not a good match for live sport. When you watch sports they have multiple cameras all over th

My argument is that the experience of seeing sport from a specific seat is inferior to watching it multi camera with huge zoom lenses. The thing that draws you to the stadium is the sense of being in a crowds. The technology to do this has

I've heard the sport idea thrown around a few times, but I'm not sure I buy it. If you go to a sports event you are mostly buying the experience of being there, the energy of the crowd, the cheering all that stuff. The actual exp

I think it's worth gaming out a world without nuclear weapons in the context of the Ukraine war. It seems pretty undeniable that both Russia and NATO would be more willing to countenance a direct confrontation. Not only that, surely by

I've seen this notion a few times, but I think it bares some scrutiny. What places used to exist that no longer do where you can exist without the expectation of buying something? Thinking about it, libraries are unusual in that they h

The Royal parks in London generally close at night. Interestingly some of the parks ar "commons" as in common land and so can't be closed!

That might work as a first strike capability - although sailing a cargo ship from North Korea to Tokyo without garnering any interest from intelligence agencies might be more difficult than you give it credit for. But the main thing you wan

In the UK flour and yeast disappeared from the shelves for quite a while during the first lockdown baking boom. The issue wasn't a shortage, but a shortage of flour in small bags. Interestingly I saw some supermarkets fill up bags they

Portugal is a terrifying example of this. They got through 2020 extremely successfully, but have suddenly been hit extremely hard. They've now had as many deaths in 2021 as they did in all of 2020.

The EU is fighting with Astrazenica. The UK has mostly kept out of it - only just commenting once the EU decided to change export rules and around the Northern Ireland agreement.

I'm saying that the correct response for the teacher is to try and overpower the researchers and escape. If the learner is strapped to a chair and being totally ignored then why should the "teacher" assume they themselves hav

My major problem with Milgram is about the "learner". As far as the participants of the experiment are told the learner is, like them a volunteer. That means the learner has just as much autonomy to end the experiment as the tea
