I stand corrected - that's useful to know as I only recently discovered buyer's premium when thinking about dipping my toe into the auction waters

It's probably even more than that with the "Buyer's Premium" tacked on - the Christie's cost calculator linked reckons that would be another EUR540,000 on top...

AIS is an aide to navigational safety, but cannot and is not relied upon as a sole source of data. Not every vessel is required to have it, or have redundant systems for it. As this article suggests it's not verifiable information and

This article explicitly goes down the "micro" in microservices route, which does have the problems you identify. There's an alternative school of thought that regrets, or at least downplays the obsession with "micro&quot

Rural poverty is a real thing, and often overlooked by politics / media / society. Rural villages no longer tend to have a shop or post office, the bus services can be erratic and infrequent, it's a real problem. The student

The supermarket ones are free - though only 7kW, as they're for customer use. I park up and go for a walk round the local park then do my shopping. For the rest I use Charge Place Scotland - it's a scheme where you pay £20 a year

I live in Edinburgh, one of the more car-unfriendly cities in the UK and recently bought a Model 3. I park on the street, the city has gone nowhere with its plans to provide on street chargers. Yet it isn't a problem, despite a relativ

It's more complicated than that - as the article says PE can be used to diversify an investments. If you have a few extra billion you might not want to tie it all to the performance of the US equity market. So PE doesn't have to b

There is also BBVA's Mirrorgate that was inspired by Hygieia. It looks like Hygieia has been split out from Capital One and more connectors are being produced to make it usable by people who have other tools beyond just what they use.

That may include tax credits, don't assume it is just "administration" costs.

Indeed - and there's no mention of any of this at https://hub.docker.com/_/golang - compare with https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/nginx that discussed non-root users and how to use it.

It's a really satisfying thing to work with paper charts, rolling rulers and dividers. These days for proper navigational planning it is all ECDIS (or WECDIS for really fun stuff) and electronic.

The problem is that spending is at 38.95%, down from 43.75% in 2010. UK Government spending in real terms is best described at a plateau for the past 10 years rather than slashed. The Government and Opposition were both happy (for different

It also very much depends on who is doing the investing. If you're CALPERs with ~$320bn you don't want to put it all into the S&P 500. Diversification through exposure to other, ideally uncorrelated, equity types or asset clas

Good advice, I picked up some good phraseology for parts of it from the military: Your "1 up" and "2 up" (i.e your manager, and their manager) - what is your manager working towards, what is the context in which they are

It's also asking that employers top up their salary whilst doing so, that appears to be the sticking point with employers. It is a major step beyond the state doing the subsidising, as can happen with maternity/paternity pay. It a
