When it comes to finance it is.


The depressing thing about this is that us UK lefties have screaming about this years and years. I know a man who works in politics that is convinced that the Tory party is not privatising the NHS because they Tory party put elections above all else.


They totally picked the new name because it would soften the blow, he's a national treasure after all.


Get your kids to use a free version of it then.

The rest of us will fork out the small price to use the software.


The reality of it is, that they don't want to do this but they are being forced to. I suspect they'll put some measures in place but nothing ironclad.


It does occur to me that this was probably a lot like Comedy Central's ridiculously easily circumvented geo-blocking. I suspect the sysadmins said "what's the laziest thing we can do?"


I know, it's hilarious and annoying to be honest. It shows how behind the EU really is.

Pretty much all the British digital policies are silly. I think the simple thing they seem to not understand is that the Internet is smarter and moves fast than policy.


This is complete bullshit. Not reading SEO blogs is a TERRIBLE bit of advice. Read everything, and read it with a pinch of salt (Google's info more than most).


well, if you prioritize googles information on top of the other stuff, then there won't be an issue, as people would never find enough time to reach the other stuff, as googles information on the topic is very, very extensive.

sadly a lot of people are not very good at prioritising information intake, that is why i stick with my "do not read SEO blogs" recommendation.

the logic behind this is actually quite simple

let's say: x% of everything written in Z is bullshit (incl. deprecated or no longer valid).

let's agree that if Z is "seo blogs" then x is higher compared to the case where Z is "google recommendation", then it is always a better investment to read an item of x if Z is "google recommendation".

i would place the values of x something like this

  if Z is "seo blogs" then x is 80
  if Z is "google recommendation" then x is 20
>and read it with a pinch of salt

if we substitute "with a pinch of salt" with "flamethrower" then yes.


Can't agree with that purely for the fact that Google is in the game of providing sly information. You think that HTTPS ranking factor blog didn't have ulterior motives? You think that the disavow tool info isn't just crowdsourcing spam info?

Simple rule for SEO or any online marketing is 'always test for yourself.' be it Google's info you're working off or Search Engine Journals. Blogs can provide a good starting point for non-professional SEOs who don't have the time or resources to do external domain tests. I've been in the game over 7 years now, Moz has always been a good resource.


It has. Their software is not bad to be honest, a lot of SEOs think Moz is the be all end all but they aren't. There is a ton of hate for them as well which is unjust considering how much they've contributed to the industry.


i hear this quite often

>considering how much they've contributed to the industry.

SEO is single most hated online discipline and Moz is the market leader.


Can't argue with this really. We're viewed as the used car salesman of the Internet. In fact the majority of us who work for larger brands and don't engage in black hat stuff are really just multi-disciplined online marketers. SEO is dead, long live SEO.


I couldn't help but hum the British national anthem while reading this.


I tried to join you but for some reason my brain decided to produce the Imperial Death March instead.


If this can print, I'll move over when it's read. I adore Sublime Text but having to c&p out of it to print is a bit of an annoyance for me. Otherwise it's a perfect app, I adore it.


Out of interest, what do you print code from Sublime? Interested in hearing why you need to print code, if that's the case.


That's a huge assumption, that one can only use Sublime for code.

Personally, I pick a single text editor and use it for all my plain text editing needs.

I don't print very often, but when I do, I do it for a reason. Just the other day, I was creating some offline study information for my child. Printing was my only option.

I was editing away in Sublime and then when I went to print, I opened up the File menu and looked a second before I remembered... "Oh yeah, this application knows better than I do about my need to print". Muttering to myself, I copy/pasted the document into Word and continued on my way.


Sublime is first and foremost a text editor, so I don't think it's a stretch to think people would use it for text editing.
