FYI, exchange subscriptions and data are charged on top of the Bloomberg subscription. You are paying for a lot more than just data, its all the tooling on top of it.
Highlighting also exists to increase edit-ability.
Look at the authors own example, if you want to change the number of iterations in the loop or edit a type, you can do that practically instantly. Does this come at the cost of readability? Perhaps. This is also probably subjective and for the author the cost is apparently too great.
If you install whatsapp business you can setup an auto response to messages telling people you no longer use whatsapp and to switch to Signal.
A mark of a good leader is that their team runs really well without them. It should also run just as well when they are around.
Always be looking to take your ego out of the situation. You are there to facilitate the success of the team it’s individual members.
The modern banking system does not use fractional reserve lending.

These issues arise when the culture the company portrays to employees and public doesnt align with actual culture. For companies that align their portrayed culture to employees with actual culture its not really an issue as quiting over a non missalignment is quiting for personal reasons. That said there is still behaviour public wont like even if it aligns with company culture (Uber). Quiting over that would still have affect in the court of public opinnion (vindictive behaviour, sexual abuse etc).
For local hot button issues the best a company can do is act locally on those issues and in line with local law and legislation. But what really matters to a global company is what its global potential client base thinks and this will trump local issues if they cant be accomadated.
Do you really believe there are 15,188,406 racists in the UK and 62,984,828 racists in the USA?
If you truly believe that then I feel sorry for you, because you live in a really sad world. Is that really the experience you have living in or visiting these countries or travelling around them, that 1 in 2 people you meet are racist?
I think its a bit lazy and easy to substitue fringe views from within these two camps as the views of the majority.
If you agree that they are not the views of the majority of peoplpe who voted in these directions then clearly there are other areas that made them vote this way that could have been discussed and had there minds changed over but werent, because well racist. Everyone loves to complain that trump supporters and brexiters suffer from a lack of critical thinking, and especially conspiracy theorists, but come on. How lazy is it to say all these people are/were racists or that is why brexit/trump won.
Well thats my point, they werent forced underground. It was clear for anyone who looked to see what was going to happen. My point is there was an oportunity to engage and faciliate real conversations around these things. That oportunity was squandered with these two instances, because despite them not being outright supressed it was not socially acceptable to have a reasonable conversation around them without being labeled racist etc etc.
If you force them underground you have no idea how prevalent the ideas are, nor do you have any oportunity to genuinely change peoples minds. You cant address a problem you are not aware of.
And then you wake up one day to Brexit and Trump being elected. Forcing content/ideas underground doesnt stop it spreading, you just become totally unaware of the spread, its not even talked about in social settings. But still it silently spreads. Do you want a situation when it becomes vacine time, half your country revolts? Do you just not care about these people? If thats the case why bother supressing it at all. The time to address these ideas is now, but no its all too easy to stick your head in the sand and exclaim shock after the fact.
If you set it to 200, why did you then increase it by 1000- which is a) an insane increase and b) the perfect amount for the transaction to go through?
There is also not caring about the cost of a restaurant on the odd occasion and not caring about the cost of a restaurant for breakfast lunch and dinner every day.
Agreed, I spend about 95% of my earnings every month and dont worry about any of these. I live a privileged life yet I have only accumulated $80,000 in assets over the years which puts me in the lowest 40 to 59th percentile and below the average americans net worth of 100k.
I have always thought that one of the most useful reasons for having unit tests is to help refactoring, but with the rapid change of js frameworks or even languages, it seems one is more likely to transition to something entirely different every 4 or 5 years. Which makes the roi much lower on some types of testing. Can anyone who has changed tech stacks/frameworks often for an app/site comment?
"The plastic counterweight (right) could save around 45,000 tonnes of CO2 each year in the UK..."
How about we just make machines that last instead of having to be replaced all the time.
Ah yes, that is true. My trips tend to be longer in nature so I normally have checked in luggage.
I don't agree that a laptop on a flight is "essential" for business people. While I always notice very few people using laptops on business class flights, after all the point of flying business class is so that you can get some rest to arrive fresh to work, one area where you do see laptop use is in business class lounges. Unfortunately this ban will affect that as you cant check-in hold luggage after departing the lounge.
That said I think people are blowing this way out of proportion, the point of your business trip should not be to do work on your laptop during the flight.. Surely you are making the trip to do something important and relevant on the other side. If your company wants you in a meeting on Monday morning on the other side of the Atlantic then I am sorry but not being able to use your laptop on a flight has nothing to do with the business justification for your trip. God forbid you actually get a break from working 24/7 on your flight. Why are people complaining about this..
All roads lead to enlightenment, there is no right/wrong way to get there. Its not about the destination its about the journey, whatever path you choose.
There is an upgrade from an Aeron?
pro tip: in london the service charge rarely goes to staff. service charge is not the same thing as a tip, which should usually be cash if you wish it to go to the waiter.
As someone who lives 300m from st pauls, I dont agree with this. The area around st pauls is wonderful for exploring and walking.
Unfortunately it is completely different, by cutting this ribbon you allow potentially anyone access to the banks disk drive - this aspect of back doors has been discussed ad nauseam. Its sad to see someone of such public stature deceive the uninformed masses with examples like this.
