A 30K train manager is still more than a 25K bus driver.

And there are a lot more road accidents than train accidents.

I worked at a startup during the brexit vote and our recruitment plummeted immediately afterwards. We would only get about 10-20% of the EU candidates applying as before. No change in UK candidates.

Harder surfaces are a mixed bag. Yes you run faster but your feet, ankles and knees take more impact and damage.

Yes I suspect they are. Rents are incredibly high in major cities. Having seen the size (&cost) of the rooms available for rent in london these containers look quite reasonable.

I liked his blog post and thought it was interesting. I didn't see anything obviously bad in it, I just saw an SEO-type telling a story and promoting themselves through it.

Surely not 3.5" floppies in 1998. 1998 was the year of 100MB zip disks, LS120 supper floppies. This was when everyone already had CD-roms in their PCs and some luck people had CD-writers.

I remember digital cameras of that era writing to mini-CDs. I dont recall ones writing to 3.5" floppies.

Fantastic interactive demo you guys have - very intuitive.
