We will queue for anything. However we won’t generally complain openly if someone jumps the line... just mutter under our breath.

I guess you should ask yourself is business success worth the risk of your relationship failing?

Indeed, this should not be portrayed as a competitive rate really, it's just the price of super convenience.

It's good there are different options, but this would be very unpalatable for me. The "anonymity" of these big spaces leads to very anti social behaviour in my experience. Luckily in 10 years in London I never shared with more than 1 other person and now own my flat.

Climbing, running, playing guitar, reading, hanging out.

In the US can you not order food for delivery directly from supermarket, same for restaurants?

I would have thought in the UK Tesco, Sainsburys etc do as well as any delivery only services (Ocado, Amazon Fresh etc).

I would have guessed direct restaurant orders are as large as justeat/uber eats style services. They would certainly deserve a place on the pie chart...

I also dont believe the average US consumer spends $105/month on meal kits...

Do we?

Dating isnt simply a matching problem... maybe these people don't want to connect with a real person?

The conclusion is classic Telegraph- where conservative values trump research or real life. A lot of their content is written to keep their readers happy- "I know my kids".

Ha yes we all just avoid eye contact with each other! More seriously though, I actually find I interact with a less diverse range of people here than when I lived in more provincial towns, because you can always find very specific groups of people (ie developer events, climbers, guitarists who are into blues etc) rather than settling for more generic groups.

This

I'm genuinely interested to hear you say that, why do you cringe? Because it doesn't affect you and you don't perceive there to be a problem?

This is clearly a technology story, and I'm interested to hear more from anyone at Twitter how their release process works in this regard. I saw Kent Beck talk at facebook a while back and he spoke about how when working on a site like FB, you literally do have peoples lives in your hands. Releasing that software is a very hard problem. The example he gave was if they accidentally allowed public access to someones private mail- it could literally lead to deaths.

Nice way of putting it. In some sense Twitter is only really exposing how crazy people in the world actually are. Being able to ignore/block/report offensive tweets is part of their responsibility, but more generally getting people to act in a civil manner to each other is probably not really.

I could imagine a designer at twitter not being aware of why this feature is so important and removing it, but not why they don't make a public response of some kind.

Does anyone know anything about the change control for the UI features at twitter?

I guess, but it's more typical to do something like cap the total trading volume, position, risk limits etc. It's a more fundamental check on what you are doing.

Yes- latency is a big issue for this type of trading system.

I do this whenever a recruiter uses a code word from my linked in profile. It states at the bottom "If you are a recruiter and contacting me about an opportunity, please use the word 'crabs' so I know you have actually read my profile. Thanks"

Gliffy. It's not perfect but it is quick and easy to get something decent looking. It also has reasonable integration with Confluence if you're using that internally.

So what the previous poster should have said is "managers and my (or our) interests and priorities do not align" rather than being condescending. I couldn't agree more that it's not ideal for a software engineer.

> Companies like Samsung, others and etc are managed by idiots

Samsung shareholders may disagree with you there....

I can't speak for SF since I'm in London, but at the beginning of this year I decided to kick the habit of staying late and got back into regular muay thai training. I have a class 4 times a week at 7pm, so I have to leave the office at about 6 to make it.

At first I felt like I was letting the team down or whatever, because I was used to a) spending a lot more time physically in the office and b) judging other people by how early they left. However, I'm in a much better place now- I realised your brain doesn't just stop when you leave the office anyway, so you are still "working" on things really when you are not there, and you will feel better when you are there. 8-10 hours (I do 8-6) is still plenty of time to get a lot of work done! Personally I also felt a lot better letting my team lead know that I have a class every day at 7pm, and that I feel it has a reasonable priority in my life. Though sometimes things like production issues or late calls do come up, this made it easier for me to be out the door when I need to be.

This is terrifying!
