Can you be a bit more specific about "close to London". Is 3 hour flight ok?

Hi, it's not an exact science but i'd take it to mean a max 2 hour train journey. Else days have to be cut short to account for transport faff.

Is this intellectual fatigue not part of all paradigm shifts? Semi-serious question.

But they're already checking for event.name == 'click' in the revised code. So why would you want to filter out some legitimate click events?

Apply Chesterton's Fence principle and assume there are (hopefully) comments in the real code around why this has been put in place

Having recently had an infuriating experience with an Android app submission, it seems there's a horde of people in a similar jam, running the senseless bureaucratic review process gauntlet: https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/1ck1wyp/did_goo...

since they can't have their brand's ampersand in a domain it seems better than the alternative: bandq, which isn't correct either.

interestingly bq.co.uk redirects to diy.com though that doesn't mean they own it

I appreciate that beardsandhats.com redirects to bhphotovideo.com :)

This triggered following a shallow rabbit hole through their history. It's a nice double meaning to incorporate their initials (Blimie & Herman) and heritage in one brand name.

An example of a premium domain that confuses me is diy.com. Owned by B&Q. Sure it's a good vanity flex but at the cost of your brand name?

The same brand predicament must be true of whatever prospects milk.com has.

Similar points were covered in the recent Tyler Cowen podcast with Tobi Lütke[1] regarding economic stagnation in Canada & Germany (relative to the US).

The UK has a cynical view on progress, likely leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy. The US seems to have a contrasting view with an optimistic by default outlook.
