I like that you say "maybe" about a janitor, because at some point a filthy office will break a product.

(that said, I am currently downloading this image, and I've had problems running x86-64 stuff in docker sometimes)

On my M1, --platform linux/amd64 seems to work (I think I needed to turn rosetta on for this for some other stuff, I don't recall.)

No sugary. Less food than a steak. Lame.

Having moved from the UK to the US, it makes me angry and disappointed that they don't use the paper/foil packaging here, so you can't do that :/

IRE's NICAR listserv and conference are the best place.

And also forced us to make videos that make us cringe :)

Also, that's mostly when you don't tell people "hey, can you not put your iPhones and Android mobile phones on the wireless?"

right, I'm not so sure that's because of DHCP, though.

for a 20-30 person hackday, it's not so much of a big problem. You wouldn't need more than a /24 for that, and you'd still be inside the * 8. But most tech events with more than 100-ish people I've been to have failed on their wifi at some point, and it's normally for this reason.

one of the reasons to go high on IP addresses is because many devices don't release their leases properly, which can cause all sorts of havoc.

I can't say I've experienced anything like what you've talked about. What places in the UK and the US are you talking about/comparing ? My experiences have been in London, Bournemouth and Phoenix.

Do you mean start a company, or build a product? As another UK expat in America, starting my first company here (and having run a company back home), the process for starting a company in the UK is slightly more efficient than in the US.

If you're talking about finding investment, that's a different matter. But finding investment is only "easy" in a few places in America. It's certainly no easier to find investment in the city in which I am based than it is in London.

Edit: (and I'm not so sure we should all be building companies that need hundreds of thousands of dollars to get off the ground. That places exist where we can do that in the world is great, but bootstrapping creates different types of worthwhile businesses.)

I use that all the time, but the only other person I've heard say it is the person I picked the habit up from.
