I mean given the level of international travel, putting a quarantine in place 2-3 months after the start of it seems like gross incompetence.

i think that happened way before when this article was published in 2017.

I mean the problem being described has nothing to do with US sales though. I'm sure if people ask for the time in London, 99% of they mean London UK irrespective of whether they are US based.

I've seen this topic touched on a few times recently but i feel like there is a major flaw in a the assumption that the current pandemic related loneliness/isolation can be compared to more traditional forms of loneliness/iso

There are tons of Teslas around my area in London. One every Street i would say, about the same level of Porsche.

Well they did release their Coffee Lake generation chip after they already new about the exploit. Now i know it would take a lot for a major company to delay/cancel a release like that, but i think it could be argued that they were dis

If you put a password on the Authy backup then it cannot be restored without that. https://support.twilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/223182508-Authy... This should be the default really.

I got called by these guys last month. It was immediately obvious something was amiss as the line quality was absolutely dreadful, like virtually inaudible. The lady on the other end said i had been identified as someone from TalkTalk who

You can literally set the Touchbar to just show the function keys. I keep mine dynamic, have been using the laptop for a month now, and can say there has not been one occasion when the escape key wasn't there when i wanted it. And havi

I don't think this works since it doesn't factor in age in any way. Just because a 22yr old might work as an intern does not make them lower class. In the UK we generally consider class to be something to include family, upbringin

Since the BBC create a large amount of revenue from licensing the shows out. If it was distributed free then either our license fee would have to go up or they'd have to drop the quality of the content with the reduced funding.

i find the iPhone 6 to be very breakable, case or no case. it could be argued i don't care for it that well.

You're completely right about the economy outside London. I'm from London and love it but i can frankly say the UK's biggest problem is having only one genuinely world-stage level successful city. Look at our productive frie

Yer. it could be fairly argued i don't care for it well. But honestly the iPhone 6 is the most breakable thing i've ever owned.

It "just works" if you fully buy into the ecosystem. i.e. all content stored in iCloud nothing synced via cable etc. I happen to do this since i tend to need a new iPhone every 2-4 months and it's just easier to pick up a ne

This is such a one sided article. I'm sure that technical co-founders make the exact same mistakes when looking for a co-founder, and the solution would not be "learn to be a business guy, and appreciate the business guy more&quo

We're planning on migrating a single repo to Gitlab hosted this weekend to try it out. I'm hoping this can reduce some cost since i'm currently spending a lot on Github and Travis CI.

To take advantage of R&D though your staff need to be contractors or UK employees, so more difficult if you already have a workforce elsewhere.

Annoyingly though UG doesn't have the same respect as GMBH amongst German corporate, so if you do a lot of business in Germany it often worth capitalising it anyhow.

I think a major factor in this decision that should not be forgotten is language. We have a German UG that is a wholly owned subsidiary of a UK Ltd. My co-founder speaks German but without this it would have been extremely complicated to
