Then your society has bigger problems than how purchases are carried out.

Bionic 633 wpm, literata 803.

I do read quickly but I have read that essay before, so perhaps I only skimmed it. I wasn't certain on one of the comprehension questions.

I could do that, but it's a hassle compared to just waving your phone at a terminal. Cash is increasingly an inconvenience.

Anyone with £800 in cash seems pretty suspicious to me. How do you even get that?

I have £100 in cash because an old person who doesn't internet bank paid me back their half of a couple of meals out, and I don't know what I'm going to do with it. It'll last me over a year.

Places will stop accepting them, they don't want the burden of sending them to the BoE to be replaced either.

It's only mandatory when exchanging £700 or more. The use is given in the text - to comply with anti-money laundering regulations.

How does it make a difference? Presumably they've always been near worthless where you are anyway?

Google made $18000000000 profit last year. It could pay employees out of cash revenue, not out of stock prices if it wanted.

I don't know about Google in particular but I think RSUs are generally issued in terms of an amount of stock, not a dollar amount. As the share price goes down then Google becomes less competitive against companies with a more stable stock price who also issue RSUs.

Who is They? GPs are typically small independent businesses contracted to the NHS, which is one of the reasons for the fragmentation.

What does rubber mean in this context?

The deadline is for cars and light commercial vehicles, not for heavy goods vehicles, which is what industry uses for nearly all distribution.

Not sure how much help it is, but NHS Digital is mainly for England, and perhaps Wales, a lot of it's work isn't for Scotland. NHS Scotland's equivalent is the [NES Digital Service](https://nds.nhs.scot/about/).

Good luck

The only official language in any part of the UK is Welsh :)

> I expect French to maintain cultural continuity for longer than English, which is so freewheeling and absorptive that it feels we are destined for schism and mutual incomprehension in the long run

English in England is becoming more homogenous and comprehensible, not less. There's much more internal mobility, much more international mobility and more time is spent consuming mass media including media created in the USA.

> What exactly is a "Twitter cesspool"? Viewpoints that don't align with yours? Radical politics?

This is a very presumptuous response.

A more charitable interpretation might just be where discussions are happening that you're not interested in on twitter. For example, 'this person keeps getting embroiled in twitter arguments about covid', so I'm going to unfloow them because even though I agree with their opinions, I'm not interested in the inevitably heated and pointless discussions leaking into my timeline.

Something like Duolingo? Read a book?

It goes different ways in different places, it's very company context dependent.

My anecdote is that the onshore team was reduced via attrition while the offshore team grew significantly.

There was a management imposed maximum onshore:offshore ratio, eventually the onshore dev team started receiving a very small headcount increase again.

Mine didn't, the meter was installed as part of the house build last year.

In reality, all nations have dealt with that problem in roughly the same way, the land reverts to the state.

In the US if an owner of property can't be identified, then it's given to the state to deal with and in France it goes to the local authority.

In most of the UK, the land is given to the Crown Estate (not the monarchs personal property but to fund the country). The exception is Cornwall and Lancashire, where it's given to the relevant duchies (i.e. the prince of wales and the monarch), who by convention sell it and donate the proceeds to charity.

Performance improvement plan.

I'm flying from the north of the continent to the south soon (Manchester to Sicily, Sicily to Gatwick). My train tickets to get to and from the airports in the UK are £160, my air tickets are £120

They don't call it a war in Russia, it's a "special military operation". Calling it a war is perhaps a small step away from Putin for Abramovich, or a mistake.

Abramovich bought Chelsea for £140million in 2003, they were frequently trophyless but one of the top 5-6 teams. Since then he's loaned them £1.5billion and they've won the premier league and European champions league multiple times. They're the current European and Club World Cup champions.

The football club don't own the football stadium or the rights to the name, they're on a ~180 year lease from the fan-owned trust.

Abramovich also owns some expensive property in London. MPs have been asking questions in parliament about why he hasn't been sanctioned given his close links to Putin, he has been named in the Navalny 35 and the US CAATSA

His first step was to hand over the running of the club to a charitable foundation, but then the charity commission started asking questions about it, and the directors started stepping away.

Every time someone does one of these, the cost-benefit comes out so far ahead for cycling infrastructure it's not funny. The HS2 cycle paths cost-benefit analysis came out five times better than HS2 itself, despite the cost-benefit ratio for the hs2 cycle paths being rubbish for cycle infrastructure (most of HS2 is in less populated areas).

If you're serious about analysis then you could start by [reading this UK government report](https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...) and it's references.

Or a study on the [danish cycling infrastructure investment](https://cyclingsolutions.info/cost-benefit-of-cycling-infras...)

> whether some kind of funding-by-the-users is possible (like happens for other vehicles: fuel duty, road tax, etc.)

Revenues from both go into the same general taxation pot, they're not reserved for funding roads. Incidentally, Tesla and other e-cars pay neither.

Physics says that if a car and a cyclist hit you at the same speed you will come off worse from the car. Cars weigh a hell of a lot more than bikes.

The only way you get equal outcomes is that if both impacts will kill you.

Probably Vatican City, Monaco and San Marino. They're not part of Schengen but do have open borders with the EU.

Sorry for the late reply, but depending upon timing it might be because Experian dropped out of the programme.

The government already have a GOV.UK Verify programme for identity assurance that they want to be funded by the private sector. They'll presumably just encourage people to use one of those private operators (currently Digidentity and Post Office) and maybe it'll encourage more operators to spring up.

See https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/introducing-govuk...

It's credit card OR id though. People like Experian are already offering age verification systems that check passports, driving licences etc. The government also have their own GOV.UK Verify programme which has multiple providers which prove identity and thus age.

If you can login to your government tax account, or apply for a DBS, you'll be able to prove your identity.
