Shipping to where exactly? How lucrative is the middle of the Sahara desert market?

Tidal energy is expensive - sea water is very corrosive and under water maintenance access isn't cheaply solved. Also you need to retain access for ships and subs.

The UK has the second highest tidal ranges in the world and is probably a world leader, we still generate nearly no energy from tidal.

Is this an argument made in good faith? The commentator said reduce meat consumption and that most people ate too much. They didn't say "ban it for everyone, let the autoimmune suffer"

They have, Eventbrite is in the same ballpark for example. How come they don't succeed is the question.

The two US corps both want to do business in the UK. If the two US corps don't want to do business in the UK, they can feel free to ignore the UK authorities.

Modifications you distribute have to be given back. You don't have to distribute the modifications though.

I can guess a few reasons:

* Cars tend to be bigger i.e. more dangerous in the US

* Drink driving seems to be more acceptable in the USA.

* The driving test in the UK is much tougher than even the toughest us state

* Most of the US don't have mandatory annual vehicle inspections to check they're safe and roadworthy

Maybe people are voting with their feet for constitutional protections. Maybe it's because the USA is significantly richer and pays more, there's likely to be a whole range of reasons.

I work with several US nationals who have relocated to the EU.

Just to clarify, health insurance is a benefit-in-kind in the UK which means you legally pay tax on it at your marginal tax rate. If you earn over about £50k you have to pay 40% of the value of the health insurance etc.

You say he built a cabin but it was basically a shed. One room, one floor. No insulation against noise or heat loss, no electricity, no running water, no toilet.

Our standard of living had massively increased since Thoreagh's shed, in part because of regulation requiring it. I'd be surprised to learn you can't build a shed for $3000.

The communities are moving to London. Hundreds of thousands of (primarily young) people have been moving into London each year from other UK regions for decades. It's mainly balanced by migration out of London due to house prices and immigration from other countries.

I grew up in a coalfield area. I have friends and family who made that move and further afield. It's a big ask for people to uproot their families from their support network and stable council house for a very uncertain future in London. What transferable skills do you think a coal miner had?

> My understanding too is that energy intensive manufacturing, like that of aluminum, often take place in regions of the world where energy is cheap: as an example the hydroelectric power along the Columbia River in the U.S. North West.

In the west that's true - mostly American companies operating in Iceland and Norway where there's cheap hydroelectric power, the US isn't one of the top smelters. This involve shipped a lot of alumina and aluminium about.

In China it's dug up, extracted, smelted and manufactured all within China. I don't know if that's because energy is cheap, but it's quite possibly not green!

Life + 70 years for people, Publication date +70 years for non-people.

It's not. The copyright year shows when the content was first published (if a range, then when it was last modified). If the year is dynamic, then it's untrustworthy.

If I'm reading some content in the year 4023 that says (C) 2023 CM30, then I know the copyright has since expired and I'm free to do what I want with it. If it's dynamically saying (C) 4023 CM30 then it doesn't say when it was published.

If I'm publishing something in 2019 with a dynamic date, and it says (C) 2023 and by astonishing coincidence it's very similar to another piece of work by another author that has a static date and it says (C) 2021, it appears that my work post-dates their work rather than pre-dates it.

Mostly this matters much less now and there's other ways of proving publication date but in older media it mattered more.

There's a partial ban that covers some of the most sensitive areas, probably 90+% of the grouse moor burning that happened before, still happens. You can see reports at https://twitter.com/wildmoorsuk.

I agree with you and would rather not see grouse moor turned to solar farms. I'd love to see more moor rewilded, the work that Moors for the Future is doing is amazing. Grouse moors are very much touched and managed though. Gamekeepers seek to minimise foxes, stoats, raptors and trees.

The grouse moor is basically a grouse farm. The moor is periodically burned to promote the right kinds of growth, 100s of grouse are released and nature like birds of prey somehow end up with a shorter lifespan.

Deliveroo customers will see Klarna as an additional payment option when they arrive at check-out, where they’ll be able to choose one of three payment options:

    Pay Now, to pay the full amount immediately;  Pay in 30, to pay the full amount within 30 days; and  Pay in 3, to pay in three equal installments, spread over 60 days.

> First, c'mon, people don't (directly) finance sandwiches. Have you ever seen a sandwich shop accept Klarna? If you're talking about a credit card that's something but that's not what this article is talking about, which is BNPL.

In the UK, Deliveroo (a food delivery company) will let you pay by Klarna for orders >= £30, including from sandwich shops. Here's the press release: https://www.klarna.com/international/press/deliveroo-and-kla...

My house was built in England last year and already came with two separate fibre gigabit internet lines, one grainconnect and another BT. I think there are two separate ducts running throughout the entire development.

I'd imagine this is just to make the cheapskates and small developers get on with it too.

I joined a company that provided Pluralsight to technical staff, policy was that all technical staff had to complete some mandatory courses on there. Pluralsight used two Account Managers to put on a live webinar for myself and another lead in my division to introduce us to Pluralsight

The webinar wasn't especially useful, there were only 15 technical staff in our division and I still don't know why it wasn't just a pre-recorded video learning course on their video learning platform.

In Britain we've had something similar to this California legislation for at least fifty years.

Roughly speaking there's a sliding scale from non-custodial sentence to 4+ years in custody which governs how long you have to disclose (or the government will disclose) your convictions, from a year after completing the sentence to forever.

We have a wider range of excepted jobs though: healthcare, children, vulnerable adults, law, legal professionals, justice, some financial professionals, gambling, firearms, taxi drivers,

Dinorwig isn't profitable due to energy arbitrage, at least not within 4 decades of construction. It does also get paid for maintaining a permanent on-call capacity for urgent frequency regulation though.

Maybe recent energy price increases has changed future reckoning though

There's a difference between the running mate - the defacto deputy taking over in a foreseeable move and the nth choice person taking over after the two previous incumbents have been forced out.

> I’d also like to see them switch to git for the plugin repos.

Could you explain this idea some more? It doesn't seem related to your first suggestion.

Some people just use the svn plugin repos as a release system, the actual development being done in git. There are even github actions to automate it.

The police are just people. They employ some bad drivers, just like they employ some bad people.

Legally speaking they're not cyclists though.

> Leading to the ever popular driving across a crosswalk (I'm not so sure who's at fault if I were to hit a bicyclist on a crosswalk, and I'd rather not find out).

It's you. If someone had left a dumpster in the cross walk it's also you. If you hit a cyclist without any lights in the dark, it's you.

You're in charge of a vehicle, unless someone jumps out at you, it's on you not to drive it into things.

It's literally the guidance that every police force in the UK work to, you need to leave a space of 1.5 metres between your car and the cyclist when overtaking at 30mph. It might be that our road lanes are narrower than yours of course.

See https://www.northants.police.uk/police-forces/northamptonshi...

You're falling into the exact same trope that the person you're replying to is admonishing.

Motorists running red lights, speeding up for amber lights, exceeding the speed limits, tailgating, dangerously overtaking and so on, is all so common as to be unnoteworthy. This doesn't justify cyclists running reds, but it should put it into perspective.

I wonder if it differs across Europe. In the UK at least, you are very right. Debit cards run via the visa and mastercard networks and every store that accepts debit cards also accept credit cards.
