Isn’t it bird flu? 1000s of facilities have had to destroy their birds after they became infected. There is no practical way to replace those in less time than it takes for new birds to mature. I think also that demand is quite inelastic to

The Brexit the UK ended up with was pretty might the lightest possible Brexit. This is exactly because anyone in power rapidly understood anything else would be a huge disaster. It was interesting watching a succession of "leaders&quot

This is likely good news for everyone. If you're pro-crypto, gensler is the guy who had it in for your whole industry and acted dishonesty to achieve his goals. If you're anti, he's the guy who totally failed to deliver on th

Every time these cases come up, I ask the same question: what is this supposed to actually achieve and how will it work? Who will buy chrome? And how will they make a profit from doing so? Presumably they will charge google for good to rema

Is their any evidence of this applying to anyone other than this specific example? I ask as I cannot find any. And the email quoted is quite specific ("reviewing YOUR record" and "YOUR policy is being cancelled"). Being

This fixes the issue with leaks. But it creates a much worse issue: anyone can now sequence anyone else's DNA with zero oversight or privacy controls. The film Gattaca covers how this could lead to a sort of night are society pretty we

Bitcoin has been very stable against the USD for a while now. And that's just bitcoin, stable coins are more reliable. And of course inflation only robs holders, at least volatility goes in your favour half the time. I also would not c

Exactly. Brics is more a term used in the west to describe not-us large countries than anything that actually exists for those countries. India and China have an open conflict over their border for fucks sake. They're not uniting any t

Seems fair. Don't embarrass your professional body or they will sanction you and may even expel you.

I find the tone of these articles baffling. China has refused to just live accept the US deciding it's not allowed to do AI? How surprising. Washington is pushing to ban something? No, Washington can just ban it. Ban or don't ban,

To be worth a damn, CBDCs need to be anonymous and probably decentralised. Which no central bank has actually proposed yet. All the proposal so far are just the same as cash but with more downsides for the user. Personally I am no goldbug

I'm amazed Richard Dawkins wrote this, primarily because it makes cold hard factual errors about biology (you're very unlikely to get a Y chromosome from your mother, sex is not defined by him but all his examples of it are non bi

I attend the office 4.9 days a week on average because that suits my personality, responsibilities etc. But I do find it baffling: half the time I'm told not to interrupt engineers and we have a whole system to let them get on and work

I don't see a quote from anyone who saw people turn around and die as a result. I see a quote from someone talking about how it would have been bad to make a wrong turn. And another about people stuck in traffic. But those are not the

Is there any actual evidence for this? The article is all hearsay...

I haven't mixed them up. I think Chinese people are capable of producing just as good a quality of chips as non Chinese people. Apparently that's controversial!? Also I did not say Taiwan is China. No idea where you got that?

My statement isn't meant to be pro Chinese. And saying "don't underestimate china" is only pro Chinese if you think underestimating China is a good idea... Also, in this matter, China is not competing with the US. The US

More fool them. Why not be fired at least? Or if it really comes to it, Airbnb and sabotage things while you job hunt on company time. I don't mean to victim blame but quietly signing the form they give you to admit defeat only encoura

Cutting them off from world supplies is a pain in the arse for China in the short term, but a huge boon for them in the medium/long term. Now there is a huge market and motivated government. There is nothing magic about silicon that me

It honestly worries me given the current situation not just in places like India-Pakistan but Nato-Russia or Taiwan. Everyone thinks they can escalate their way out of situations. But you really can't. I wonder what would have happene

I honestly couldn't think is a nicer way to put it without being facetious. I am a cynic so I likely deserve the downvotes...

Someone has to work fast food jobs, and there is no shame in it. But why the fuck was he there for 20 years? The guy wasted 20 years. If he'd called in sick and gone to a job interview he'd have been richer and happier and more so

Unstable currency. Unstable government. High tax. Questionable access to other markets. Questionable reliability when it comes to international agreements (which is pretty fucking vital to a company like AIM). It's sad (I'm a lond

I work at a small company. We're 3 years old, up to 160 people. Not a start up anymore, but we were within living memory. As soon as our series A started the CEO disappeared. Because he was just constantly meeting investors. We closed

To me, brexit was a self imposed broken leg. The best that can be said is "technically our squats haven't gotten worse because not being able to do them means they are just null, no like 0s".

I am confused by your first link. The vote was in 2016. Looking for 2015 to now, it clearly shows the UK having achieved 0% growth (in GDP per capita) since 2015. Literally all the other countries and the EU as a whole out performed us. ht

It's not so much the linear problem (if you give everyone X some arseholes will get X). I can see the logic in things like UBI. It's more like the exponential effect. Here in the UK social housing is never reassessed. So we have p

Of course not. The person's sex was already defined. The surgery just brings their body into line with that reality. If I, a guy, lose my penis I'm still a guy. Sewing it back on just affirms that.

When was the last time you surveyed them? Last I heard sex changes were widely accepted in medicine. Or maybe we should hear from one of them (an educated person) on exactly why they don't believe in it (rather than just some guy who &
