You'd need 6 AA batteries to deliver the same voltage as one of those RC car packs and give a direct comparison.

They were typically 6x sub-C cells, with a capacity of 1000mAh. (I remember paying extra for a 1300mAh pack!). You can get 5000mAh cells today, so it's a 5x improvement.


Breaking Bad was (and still is) on Netflix in the UK at least.


It was produced for AMC.


HHVM never really took off in the PHP community. These days regular PHP performs as well, and has adopted most of the additions HHVM made to the language. Larger projects like Symfony dropped support for HHVM a while ago. It’s main purpose these days seems to be a thing to run Hack (the langauage) on.


UK taxpayer here. We get sent an annual summary of the tax we paid and what it paid for. It looks like this: http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02871/taxtable1_...


Your message is bad. It starts “Become a PROFESSIONAL freelancer”.

Your target market is freelancers, who no doubt already think they’re professionals (because who likes to think they’re not professional?). They’ll be thinking: “I’m already a professional freelancer. I don’t need this product.”

“We help freelancers become more professional with automatic streamlined process...”

Again - I am already a professional freelancer. I don’t need this. Give me some concrete examples of what your product can do for me, how it can save me time, money, etc. There are some examples of how you can save me time further down the page, but they’re things that happen once per client (Onboarding, etc) which is once or twice per year. If you could outline a way you can save me time every day or even once a month, it’d be a much more compelling proposition.


And what the hell does it even mean to be a professional freelancer?


Noted, will completely rework on the copy.


Bought my new MBP yesterday. I was expecting to have to get used to the keyboard, but was typing on it just fine straight away. Now I actually prefer the feel to my previous 2012 Air.


I'm from England, and his accent in that video sounds pretty neutral to me. It's got a bit of a "posh" or "well spoken" edge to it, but in terms of region, that's going to be somewhere around the south of England, excluding places like the south west and parts of London, which have distinct accents.


I agree.

Occasionally you'll find extras which sound Welsh, because the show is filmed in Wales. But for the most part it's a very neutral accent. Even Amy Pond's accent isn't particularly strong.
