Does anyone have any experience with the user experience side of GoCardless? Do customers have any issues entering their account number and sort code, rather than the usual card information?

I really like GoCardless but feel that customers might be hesitant to enter that information, especially when they're not used to doing it.

With all the recent hacking of Bitcoin services, maybe it's this kind of thinking which is causing more problems.

Unfortunately the article doesn't distinguish between high/low GI carbohydrates, which is the main focus of low card diets.

The title of the actual article is "With Euro Instability, Can Bitcoin Now Compete with Hard Currency?". It's a question, where as this title was submitted without the 'can' and is therefore posed as fact, which is misleading.

You might be able to lose weight with a Twinkie diet but that won't cure the diabetes.

Absolutely glad to see this, however, there are some serious concerns which are addressed at the bottom of the article

"There are, of course, significant challenges to overcome, specifically with the immediate shortage of computer science teachers."

When I was an ICT teacher I was the only teacher I met who had any programming experience whatsoever. A large number of these teachers would even struggle with GCSE level maths and I do find it difficult to see how to government could train all these teachers to be able to be at a level necessary to teach any programming skills. Unfortunately those people who are qualified very rarely enter teaching.

Nice idea, but GitHub already has pull requests which work wonderfully for code reviews.

When I'm finished working on my branch I can submit a pull request. Everyone else on the team gets an email and can take a look at the new changes. We can have a conversation about the code and people can pull the branch and make their own changes. It's all very seamless and works great for remote teams.
