My first thought, like the distribution of median wage across the regions, is that national 'policy' is far too blunt an object to run a country.

Congrats on your move BTW - glad it worked out for you.

Be very careful with this. It is perilously close to living up to someone else's expectation, and not your own. In certain circumstances this can lead to promotion within an organisation, without a credible way back. I feel this would be tougher in a USA rather than UK organisation.

A long while ago, when designing PCBs, I would use an autorouter to route my boards, then send them to a manufacturer, who presumably, sometimes, used a router.
I crossed the router/router Rubicon some time ago. I'm at peace now.

Hackers are curious. We are going through an age where curiosity is either in short supply or unrewarded.

Reductively, humanity is basically stories. It's legacy, it's the present and the future. Stories bind generations.

Agree. I imagine the factors for sentencing will include value (it was a tourist attraction and landmark), intent, remorse. Don't forget this got to trial because they pled not-guilty and tried to lie their way out. Courts take a very dim view of lying.

It's Reform Ltd's problem if candidates aren't vetted. Paper name candidates ought to be vetted.

"For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong" - it takes a while to circle round and re-discover this, again and again.

IT should not do *any* OT scanning. Just. Stop.

Likened to the noise of a machine gun.
There was an uncomfirmed myth at the time someone had rigged up a daisy wheel printer to print dotty photographs with *just* the full stop.
Full stop type element fell off. (Might be a) true story.

It was quick. A lot of flicking between command and edit modes as I recall.
I wrote my 1st Pascal programme at uni a mere few years later, and was introduced to edlin which was a substandard editor by Wordwise standards. I think we quickly moved to a full screen editor, but can't recall it's name.

Love the selection of drinks and mixers on the right hand side. I keep a couple of paper cups in my desk in case someone drops by with a nice malt.

Friend of mine with an archeology degree went to Hursley. Mind you, a lot of IT tech is a conspiracy to support modern archeology (HTML for documentation, databases for cataloguing, imagine recognition for categorisation, stats packages for pattern recognition). Or estate agents come to that 😃

Isn't the real drag market access to RoW where we have to set up fresh market access (or assure business continuity) whereas before we would be pulled along in the slipstream of existing EU access?
comment in response to
post
Market access is still on a third country basis (which is cumbersome, a financial drag, and enriches lawyers, export agents and lovers of red tape), but saying it is 27 times more viscous from a legal standpoint seems to be over-egging it a bit. Have I observed this naively?
comment in response to
post
I don't follow. I thought market access would be to the EU SM, and not to individual member states - if the UK made, for example, a child's toy, it would comply with safety/CE allowing access to the SM, and not individually to The Netherlands and France for instance.

Is the field small enough to see the same faces bobbing up and down at different companies? I'm in the UK and it still sometimes surprises me when someone from uni or another company pops up from a decade ago.
