Brilliant stuff. Fascinating to see how seasonal some of the searches are – "rosé" and "Aperol" spikes in July and December (southern/northern hemisphere summers?), "carbs" and "low-carbohydrate diet" peaks in January (when people want to change their habits?).
> Monzo let you deposit cash and cheques at the post office
Not quite. You can deposit at any PayPoint location (mostly corner shops and the like), not Post Offices [0]. They also charge £1 for each deposit and the maximum deposit is £300. This is not an issue for me (I rarely see or use cash), but it would be for some.
Having made my first deposit at the weekend, the main issue is that the shopkeepers have no idea how to accept a deposit. I tried four places, and only managed to succeed in the end because I instructed the shopkeeper how to do it.
> Farage admitted the morning after the result that the £350m a week to the NHS was a lie
The bus was part of the official Vote Leave campaign not Farage’s Leave.EU, so that particular lie is not for Farage to defend. Many others are though.
You’ve linked to an article about Soros advocating a second referendum, not funding the Remain campaign. Meanwhile, the Leave.EU campaign is being investigated for receiving funding from “impermissible sources”.
I think it would certainly be very interesting if more companies provided rationales behind some of their corporate policies. Perhaps this would create more of a discussion and better educate employees rather than just setting out the rules. Maybe go one step further and allow employees to request changes?
I’ve worked on dozens of these “print on demand” programs over the last 10+ years for museums and galleries like Tate, MoMA, The National Gallery etc. They are a fairly standard part of most museum’s retail operations, but this is a particularly nice example.
Licensing for fine art reproductions in museum retail can work in very strange ways, even if the work is out of copyright. For example, if a work is not part of the gallery’s collection, permission may be sought from the owner who may or may not own the high res, as well as the estate of the artist. I many cases this is not required as the work is not in copyright, but nobody wants to step out of line.
I do E-commerce consultancy, CRO and Facebook advertising (still figuring how much to specialise).
I was fairly fortunate to bring by previous employer on as first client, the rest of the leads have come through my personal network. The nice thing about prioritising lifestyle over growth is I don't need many clients.
I'm in my first month freelancing. The last time I wasn't in a full-time job was when I was running a small web design company in the 90s (it still exists and is run by @prawn).
Finding work was not difficult – I was lucky enough to book all of my capacity from day one. The biggest challenge I've had so far is managing my time across clients, and adjusting to not having a team.
This could be a useful place to discuss all the newest ICO's coming out in real time. The unique rank is "Friend of the Universe" by the way. http://icogo.biz
Same experience here. The day after finishing Cockpit Confidential I experienced my first go-around landing in bad weather. I wasn't nervous because I had some idea why it occurred and what was happening in the cockpit.
My understanding is that contactless cards have limit of £30 per transaction in the UK. Apple Pay (perhaps it's the same with Android Pay?) has a significantly higher limit.
I'm happy to pay for things that provide value in my life.
I pay a modest amount to some bloggers directly via Patreon for what I could otherwise get for free. I'm also considering doing the same for The Guardian (though that gets me the removal of ads). It's not out of the question that I would want to do the same for Medium.
I would miss them if they went away or had to change direction to monetise in new ways that reduced their value to me. Is this so bad?
We're not a startup, but we've had great success with Helpscout too. Our customer service team absolutely love it, to the point where it's difficult to convince them that Intercom is worth trying!
