Edinburgh is the place to be, although i live northern ireland- having been over for the recent fringe and talked to some imigrant workers, they couldnt be happier.

A nice apartment would run you about £550/$800 a month which is a tad dear but its a great city with so much going on.

A walk around the museum will show you a place that was built on inventions and innovation.

only downside is the scottish climate


is this the new reddit?


if your in london, going back to work after a pub lunch of 3 or 4 pints seems to be the norm


It used to be in my industry (banking), but in the last few years nobody seems to drink at lunchtime any more.

15 years ago Friday afternoons used to be pretty much a write-off in terms of getting anything done. We had one project sponsor that would agree to something, then go down the pub, get lashed, and reverse his previous decisions. That was... fun.

I also knew one guy that used to get wasted at lunchtime, and then lay down in the data centre to sleep it off. Different times.

I have been using hsbc for business banking and haven't had a complaint.

You just need to warn them when you travel or they will block your card.


Agree - HSBC - good experience for me. I've been with HSBC UK for personal use for about five years. Their online banking is what I'd expect - allows for low-hassle international FX transfers, security seems solid, stuff works, no user interface horror. On the phone they're consistently helpful. Like the parent, they block my card the moment I do too many transactions with new overseas providers without warning them. But they sort it out quickly if you call and verify.


my understanding is.. the current like button is used by the the user through the iframe, while this is an action completed on behalf of the user through the graph api?


It might also have to do with the concern that on mobile, the like button could be somewhat disguised visually and might it might not be immediately obvious that liking on the app will mean liking on Facebook.


The big problem on mobile is that the Like button is extremely tiny, and not all platforms can utilize the iFrame version of the Like plugin. By making it available through an Open Graph action, developers can embed it into apps, on web pages with a better target than the standard Like button, and on web pages as well in a way that fits the design scheme of the website.

It seems like it allows Liking of any page with Open Graph tagging, only question I have is if you can use it to Like a Facebook page still. I plan to test that out shortly, probably tomorrow.


dublin or ireland not mentioned once


Europe has over 50 countries. Would be a pretty long list to name everyone.


Nobody is mentioned except Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Madrid, Milan, Moscow, New York, Paris, San Francisco, Stockholm and Tel Aviv. And a few of those aren't even in Europe.

would have thought the collisons would have opened up ireland saying they are from there..


Only 4 million people though - not exactly an internet commerce hotspot.


We're working on it. :-)
