I think this is a fairly known scenarios, that strategists and leaders taught well in advance with all possible and military personnel are trained on. I also read in an article that the order to shot it down came from the turkish president.

Can you link to that article?


I can't remember which source it was was I read different articles from FB trending news, I tried to find it but couldn't, later I'll have another go.


Someone claimed that territory because his daughter's dream was to be a princess[1].

I bought one as well although I didn't do anything yet, would you mind share what you did/recommend doing? I was thinking to make a temperature sensor monitoring device, as I have an arduino that is doing the job now


a temperature sensor was actually my first use of it (and i will continue to build a couple as remote sensors) - basically, i've been adding more and more sensors just to see how much it could take.

now, i'm having to build out PCB's to support everything (including the voltage regulators to 3.3v and 5v), as i've outgrown breadboards.


Thanks, that is my plan too, add as many sensor as I could! For the moment I have a microphone, a water level and a couple of temperature sensors waiting for a microcontroller.

Could you link a couple of links to resources you found useful? I haven't look at it properly but when I try to search I was a bit confused and not sure on where to start

using the arduino environment, i had a circuit up reporting temperature in less than 5 minutes.


Hey @jerrysievert, this is Omer from Cesanta. Great to hear that Smart.js worked for you. Would you mind sharing a bit more on your project? I can be reached at omer at cesanta.com Thanks and best of luck!


thanks! I didn't know about Cesanta so I made my own from scratch, but it is very bulky.


I've made motion sensors (still slightly buggy) and a small circuit to start my laundry machine remotely. I might do temp/humidity monitoring for a specialized application at some point.


maybe stupid question: do you expect a lot of fake contractors or there is another way? Because if they are contractors they wouldn't be part of those 362 in staff right?


I think the parent is referring to contractors, who avoid PAYE but still have to pay dividend and corporation tax. The dividend tax rate is about to go up so the PAYE issue is about to become void.


Sorry, I was more thinking of the executives, whose large salaries would skew the average, and would have a complicated compensation package, and can afford accountants to do creative accounting. I do not know if there are executives included in that 362 employee figure.


oh right, good point. If only journalism wasn't in such a sorry state, we might know the answer to that question. They might be drawing a high salary, equally they might be drawing no salary at all and living as non doms.


Same experience here. I'm always shocked about the impact that small things, like coming across one of those pages when I was a teenager, can have on someone's life.


Really interesting channel about Geopolitics: Kaspian Report https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwnKziETDbHJtx78nIkfYug


when I hear an order with pineapple or chicken I feel worst than that. I don't want to be graphic so I will just say it's like putting something really unpleasant on a pizza.


I'm sure during the Pax Romana a lot of people felt the same, or even after the First world war. After the plagues in the middle ages resources were abundant for everybody, even peasants..

we are no different than then, sure we think nowadays technology seems able to change everything, but before it was the same. Humans have always been innovating and increasing efficiency, yet they have always been fighting.


>I was freelancing when I started out, so I had some income but was also available for full-time contract work during the day.

and companies were cool with it? I'm trying to do the same (data scientist) but I only get offers for perm or full-time contracts.


I was lucky to get a 3-day a week contract, but still had to do my freelance work in the evening/weekend for a bit.


so he is only allow to comment on news that are from places that are less sexually repressed and prudent then Algeria? Your snarky comment is really not adding anything to the conversation.
