Doesn't seem to work for CEO pay :-)

Betting on the horses is a very Irish thing to do grin

You'd rather have illegal off course betting ala Peaky Blinders or like IRL my Great Great Great Uncle ran in Birmingham (does make watching peaky Blinders interesting)

Perfectly legal gaming operations outside of the USA have been considered illicit and had employees arrested.

The US does seem to have a lot of puritan hang-ups not helped by local gambling monopolys.

Surprised that draft kings don't go with one of the UK online gaming firms.

I thought they where Ubuntu running on mac hardware.

I know Sainsburys was trialing back then, I knew one of the developers on the project at BT.

One of our team members was an alpha tester, and one delivery he got was a pallet of salad cream instead of just one bottle.

So your running a non standard OS what do you expect

The limit of 5000 might be a bit low for larger sites is this pages or URLS?

I am thinking ecomerce and classified ads sites

Not initially anyway its not all about money

Sniper rifles in ww1 where custom conversions of the standard infantry rifles or in the early war actual hunting rifles.

Shotguns where more for trench raiding along with improvised clubs etc

"I assert diplomatic immunity "

I did when my previous place made me redundant, I didn't need to jump into the first job and I could claim unemployment whist waiting to.

It well be more experienced people though and you will need enough $ to do this.

Seconded one of my regrets was not really going for a place on a round the world boat race a few years ago and taking a sabbatical to do the whole thing.

Id just been diagnosed which a chronic illness and though it would have been fair on the rest of the crew.

Its "class" we are talking about here and it does exist in the US compare Bill Gates vs Steve Jobs and Woz.

And technically upper class is doesn't need to work and can live of investments / property.

Its a bit more complex in the UK ABc1 is middle but their are social distinctions dependant on job not income.

For example A Plumber Miner or train driver might make more than an engineer but would be working class.

Basically what sort of honour would you get for doing charity work is a good marker

Its pretty common for ordinary middle class kids - and remember in the UK a degree is three years not the US four years (or even longer in Europe)

Bit harder now post Brexit though

Yes standing exposed on top would expose you to fire from the support trenches.

I am pretty sure I got nocked back for a job at EBAY because I have an atypical career path.

Video cameras maybe or sensors that detect products of burning :-)

I would hope that they do audit people in and out so i case of accidents you can account for everyone.

Oh and these would be trained people

That was my point and large industrial sites quiet often have their own internal fire service.

Bit surprising that they didn't override this as there was no fire and take the hit from the over temp.

Also they didn't have breathing gear (and trained staff) so you could go in and restart without waiting and also in case of an accident being able to try and rescue people.

Back when worked in RnD for the lab where we could have had a Freon leak we had breathing gear just outside and some people trained to use it

Good luck getting past the gate keepers for most companies then.

Or maybe someone at amazon tipped the SEC off

Depends did Papa go to ENA with the right people.

Why do you think that serious white collar crime shouldn't involve jail time.

Yeh Back in 94 I and another developer got flown up to Edinburg and delivered using RAD/DSDM in a month what a another traditional team said would take 2 years.

One of the other ideas at the times was a custom BT version of HTML - that got stamped on very had by the Labs thank god.

Inexperienced developers can be delusional especially if they see their role as 100% banging out JIRA tickets

Then the lead developer is the manager

A lot of consumer production was halted or radically slowed during ww2. I suspect a University Don was insulated from a lot of those shortages

The hotel /travel industry is probably the worst complainant as those industry's do a lot of sketchy stuff.

As does the insurance industry ever wonder why the UK insurance industry went all in on cuddly mascots - one factor was googles clamp down on black hat techniques simples

No you have to bribe them :-)
