One of the pieces of advice I did not heed from my Dad was to try and save/invest 30% of your salary. This one is hard to understand until you are in your 40s and realise you are probably going to continue to work well into your 50s. I

Generally no, but it didn't start out that way. I just highlighted the oddity that a political party that relies on old people was implementing policies that were accelerating the death rates of their core voter group, and that this se

I watch what the USA is doing with healthcare, and I see this type of model being foisted upon the UK, and it's terrifying. I recently got into a twitter spat suggesting that it was foolish of the Conservatives to be reducing spending

I see a need for a government to facilitate access to clean good quality drugs, taxing them, and providing the support mechanisms to enable people to come off those drugs. Portugal is the proving ground for this approach http://w

Ah the "they are weak" argument. Humans are fallible. Don't judge individuals by your god like ability to only survive on mineral water and lettuce.

Prohibition is one of the most pernicious ideas within our society. It enables people to prey on the weak and vulnerable. Whether we like it or not, people will seek out chemicals to make their day better, be it chocolate, coffee, wine, or

Honestly this is now the way I see Ikea staff. Benign and friendly, encouraging you to spend your money during the day, malign and evil after the store closes, hell bent on murdering you. It's probably what makes those Swedish meatball

Unsure I'd agree. It looks like Amplify is providing you with all the components you need to build on top of all AWS cloud services. I particularly like their approach which makes it easy to use AWS but the ability to move away from AW

I have a habit of playing a F2P game to understand how easy it is to advance. They really do understand how to get you hooked, and then put you up against players/AI where you either have to grind for the next 10 weeks or handover mone

More interestingly that is simply a maturity issue. React told people the official API and people still used hidden features as it was easy and clever. Thankfully Facebook did the right thing, kept the API sacred and refactored all the hidd

I've been making the point that fuel duty and car taxes (if your country has them) need to be removed and road pricing brought in. Price per litre of diesel in the USA is about $0.75 vs $1.64 in the UK. Given that Tesla stated that the

I would agree that my interest only mortgage is storing up trouble for my future. However given I bought my 1st house in 1996 with no deposit, the reality is that interest only has worked well given that I have leveraged the housing market

I was lucky. I remember being 18 years old and putting the money for my bus ticket home into a slot machine because "it had to pay out this time". I lost and had a 5 mile walk home. I have avoided the machines ever since. Meeting

I suspect Gerrymandering isn't uniquely a US problem. I do a lot of UK Census spatial analysis and the district centroids that are used create problems. In the article the 'ear muffs' shape would create a centroid for the vot
