I think the bigger lesson is probably something along the lines of: First, make sure they can do the job technically, within some sort of parameters of what they can currently do and what can be learned on the job. That's your baseline

> The specialisation means that work for "web designers" has declined IMO. Yep, exactly. There isn't really such thing as a "web designer" anymore (or rather, there isn't going to be). The job has been split

I think that like in most industries, the low-end has become commoditised. Want to sell stuff online? It used to cost thousands of dollars to get an online store up and running. Now you can sign up to Shopify and start selling your stuff th

I agree that at some point (probably reasonably early on actually) it would start taking longer to say the number out loud than one second, so you'd fall behind. However we're talking about counting which is not necessarily saying

Interesting - what trouble did you have with the banks here? I am a NAB customer and when we got married it was one form to fill in (with associated documentation) to update my wife's details across all of the accounts, including havin

My parents were incredibly insistent that my sister and I understand how they did their personal and business finances and it's among the best things they taught us (neck-and-neck with how to cook). They ran their own business until I

You needed iTunes to act as a conduit to get songs onto the iPod, but you could either sync it with one iTunes library, or leave it in manual mode and load songs from any iTunes. It worked then exactly the same way as it does now[1]. You co

I'm not sure your follow up clarifies your point, but it's entirely possible I'm misunderstanding it. Are you saying that the only way Apple can sell their products for such a profit (over the raw cost of materials) is becaus

I think this is a key point that's further backed up by Apple's recent hiring of people from the high-end fashion space. It certainly seems to me that Apple aren't even trying to directly compete for the audience that Android

I use this every day basically for pushing and pulling to and from Github. For pretty much every other git function I use SourceTree. I find the Github app too limiting for most git functions other than pushing and pulling (and the resultin

I think you've slightly misrepresented the second driver's intentions. The article says: "...the guy behind, he sees the two or three seconds and thinks, oh, the guy in front of me is going to floor it too, I'll floor it

Anecdotally: We created a Netflix account when S4 of Arrested Development was released, and have kept it specifically to watch House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, obviating the need to torrent* them. The other content on Netflix is

I may be misremembering, but I have a feeling the per-app volume mixer was available all the way back in Windows XP. Possibly sound-card dependent? An app called Jack OS X does the job on Mac: http://www.jackosx.com/

Funnily enough, the form in the original post validated my credit card number as Amex and then validated a 3-digit CVV number as OK.

Really? Seems a bit unnecessary to take the spot completely out of action because the meter is broken. Here (Melbourne), if a meter is faulty but the council doesn't know, you can SMS your numberplate and the meter ID to their faults n

I found this really helpful insofar as grasping orders of magnitude of big numbers: 1 thousand seconds is 16.7 minutes 1 million seconds is 11.6 days 1 billion seconds is 31.6 years In my mind the difference between a million and a billion

Like what? I genuinely can't think of any. I agree that there are advantages to Bitcoin over other payment methods. No dispute there. But your original contention was that Apple want to be able to take a 30% slice of transactions, and

I'm probably missing something obvious, but what use cases are possible with BTC but not, say, PayPal? With PayPal you can pay for goods, receive payments for goods, transfer to an individual, receive payments from an individual, do it

Apple have been required to do this for a long time, they just never really advertised it (and per the ACCC judgement, have been misrepresenting what they are obligated to do). That being said, they have definitely been repairing products u

This is a neat idea, but a problem I didn't see discussed in the article is that on iOS (at least), LocalStorage is disabled when running in private mode. There are ways to detect it and work around it obviously but considering this is
