How exactly are illegal entries into the UK via small boats controlled? If this is controlled, why has the number of people arriving in this manner grown enormously in recent years? Also way to misrepresent the other commenter’s perfectly v

So with the UK government debt to GDP ratio at its highest level since WWII, your proposal is to… increase public sector spending… and lower taxes?

My understanding is EU member states have some freedom to implement the “cookie law” (ePrivacy Directive) in different ways, and this deadline is linked to some updates to the legislation in France which took effect from Oct 2020.

Fair enough if it doesn’t impact your day to day, but it will definitely impact others. Also worth noting Credit Karma uses TransUnion which is only one of the big three rating agencies, and arguably the least important compared to Equifax

Using a credit card in this way could be negatively impacting your credit rating. You can be dinged both for having credit and not using it in a given month, as well as exceeding a certain threshold (~10%?) of your credit limit.

Beets’ strength is as a tagging solution more so than a way of accessing music. For the latter I use mpd. From a tagging perspective beets works great. It’s hugely configurable out of the box and the fact it’s written in Python means it’s e

I don’t think Apple provided an adapter, they merely “offered” one.

If you are using one of the newer Sky Q boxes, my anecdotal understanding is that they phone home a fairly terrifying amount of telemetry data. Would certainly be a fascinating project to MITM and figure out exactly what is being sent.

I think the shape (or size, at least) is dictated somewhat by the sheer amount of I/O that receivers provide. If you look at the rear of some receivers they are jam packed with speaker terminals, analogue and digital inputs and outputs

The market solves these problems so we don’t have to. It is extremely common for markets to face bursts in demand at peak times, and yet somehow we always find a sustainable equilibrium.

Of course there are tiresome legal and political battles about who will pick up the bill for remediation activities. When the cost for individual buildings is in the millions of pounds, that is to be expected. But to suggest little has been

Not familiar with the detail of the incident, but it sounds hyperbolic to me. Since the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017 there’s been much greater scrutiny on fire safety in apartment buildings. Imagine an alternative scenario in which Peabody l

As above, Andrew Lee said Freenode was not owned by Private Internet Access. It doesn’t appear he was lying, because by all accounts he owned it personally.

Andrew Lee ≠ Private Internet Access

Do you have evidence to support the implication (for Lee to be lying, as you claim) that Freenode is owned by Private Internet Access?

From what I understood of the previous (draft) resignation notes, there was a misunderstanding/disagreement over what (if any) Freenode assets actually belonged to that limited company.
