The Nordics are social democracies. Free market, liberal with a strong emphasis on social care. I'm not quite sure what your point is.

Rasmus Lerdorf has talked about it in other videos but this is one https://youtu.be/iGOAQli7tGc?t=1485 Basically, groups of functions are consistent: string,array etc. Their parame…

Where are you getting your 20 year figure from? There's a study which says 10 years but doesn't account for the energy/co2 required to refine oil. EV battery packs can also be recy…

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. You don't need to balance the bike when you're stopped - you put your foot on the floor and wait. I know it's different in every country b…

It was also the week that a lot of Finns start their summer holidays so presumably a seasonal expectation as well. I'm sure a weak pound plays a part, but hardly breaking news.

Handling cash isn't free for a merchant. It has to be stored, counted, transported, banked, insured and it's easily stolen. Even though the fees aren't the same cash still has a fe…

I've done this on a small scale for web, never for mobile/apps though. My approach was a git repo containing the main code then a branch for each brand which only had config change…

There's also wkhtmltopdf.org as another headless/comand line pdf renderer

I think this is a common path for MBPs of the same age. I've got a 2009 model and upgraded the HD to SSD and memory a couple of times. The processor can feel a little sluggish but …

You don't need an invoice for a company expense. How do you think people claim back for things bought in a shop?

I've been using Linode for production machines for about 4 years now and have been very happy with them. The security issues were a concern but appear to be the exception rather th…

The open source non 'pro' version? http://designmodo.github.io/Flat-UI/

The spam that's being referred to is link spam i.e buying large numbers of links, comment spam etc in order to boost the target domain's search rankings. There's no one tool that w…

Is it also stealing people's local wallets too?

Perhaps they were comfortable with WP, perhaps they didn't want to spend time reinventing the wheel, perhaps they didn't want to have to support a massive body of code.

This has a far better explanation of what the engine is about: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-20510112 There's also a documentary on the developers: http://www.youtu…

The term subsidized, to me, seems misleading. On a contract you're usually buying the phone on credit and paying it off in your monthly contract charges. I wish there were more tra…

There's a mirror of it here for UK readers: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s4/sh/9cac8469-887f-40fd-9401...

I haven't tried it so these comments are just about the sales pitch: Have you talked to potential customers? What do your potential customers want, what needs aren't being matched …
