No he means the 'code' that runs Google in the business / HR sense is not version controlled and reviewed. So when it changes to something he disagrees with like the pillow purchase being disallowed he can't see or take part in the discussion that led to that change.

It's actually very similar to Aaron Schwartz's plan of using academic access to copy and widely distribute papers. This researcher does not have a legal basis to copy 2000+ disks in order to free them from the national archives. At most he has a restricted right of access to use some of them in his academic research.

To test he could ask the national archive for permission to carry out his plan and observe how quickly his access is revoked.

Research Room Rules.

The rules are intended to provide clear instructions to both staff and researchers on the research room:

  * registration process;
  * entry and exit procedures;
  * items authorized and not authorized for use in the * research rooms;
  * pull requests;
  * records handling guidelines; and
  * copying and equipment approvals.
The rules will be available for researcher use in each facility or can be requested in writing from the facility managers listed below.

I find Curve to be more innovative because it is a debit card that links back to any debit or credit card. You can only carry one card, use your real credit cards in places that only accept debit. Plus - a fancy app and real time tracking for all your old bank cards. It's most of the upside from Monzo with your choice of cards.

It has an urban population of 96,900 that is fairly large by Scottish Standards. Inverness and Stirling have ~70,000 each and they are cities.

Rail is in the UK is just ridiculously poor and overpriced. Edinburgh to Inverness which is not much further is over £50. I think this is entirely down to a system where different companies own bits of the track, the stations, the trains and even worse another company will actually operate the trains.

This all very useful information and well written but I have to ask, do undergraduates really not know this or at least figure it out very quickly? I would expect students who are investing large sums of money to be better prepared than just turning expecting High School plus with a generous helping of A's them a nice job? Perhaps it is different in the USA than elsewhere?
