State funding. Funding was shifted to fees. Although considering how much of student loans is not expected to be repaid it's arguable that a lot is still state funded...

In the UK everyone's on the right lane anyway, with the other lanes mostly empty.

If the truth was self-evident fake news would not exist... Often there isn't even one truth. And of course when you have two competing versions there is no guarantee that one is true, or that one is not true for that matter. I'm j

I think it's dangerous to assume that one side are the good guys who never lie while the other are the bad guys who always do. Disinformation comes from all sides and one has to be critical of everything.

You don't seem to really be contradicting my point. You're just assuming that the 'good guys' don't lie while the others are the 'bad guys' who obviously do lie. There are indeed fighting propaganda with c

What he's saying is that currently doing nothing costs him less than what paying 0.4% to 'insure' transactions would, so why bother with insurance? Ultimately established companies know how much chargebacks cost them and thus

I bet it's just "stay hydrated and come back in a week if symptoms persist" hard-coded in a loop.

As detailed in the article, he didn't "mention" the event but was replying to a specific question about it during an event in Singapore.

China will not start a war with the US. Of course everybody knows that a war is unthinkable. The message is that China will not be bullied and will fight its corner whatever it takes. I feel that the US still have an imperial and frankly so

I'm obviously not Pentti Linkola, nor do I prefer or support dictatorship. The point is that we're told that we are in a climate an environmental emergency situation. But what are the emergency measures we take to respond to that?

Of course the policy has sometimes been harshly enforced, which, again, is something that could not happen in a 'free country'. But let's remove our pink tinted glasses. The reality is equally harsh: The WHO forecasts 250,000

China helped themselves and the world massively with the one child policy, which arguably would have been impossible in a 'free country'. In the meantime we're 7 billions and projected to reach 11 billions by the end of the c

Phones are popular. It's not the brand that is the issue. It's that they were dropped by some major mobile operators.

Companies adjust production all the time based on orders and forecasts of future orders because they do not want to sit on unsold phones. What this means is that Huawei expects lower demand for their phones, not that they ran out of parts.

The person the team works for and who pays for it. Now, sometimes the problem is to make that person understand that it is not possible to move faster and why.

This reminds me the outcry that followed the 'bolting on' of visible concrete, steel, and transparent glass in the middle of the Louvres... Which is now one of the most striking and famous view of the city.

They've recently rebuilt the roof of the "collège des Bernardins", also in Paris and as old as Notre Dame, using steel beams and titanium tiles... Doing the same for Notre Dame would be sensible. They will do as they see fit,

I always like when people ignore the comment they are replying to... If you want to restore the original style then we should remove the gargoyles, as mentioned, but also other elements that were added. Even the spire was not a 'replic

by NotPaidToPost 7y ago
What does 'original style' means, though? Notre Dame was refurbished and changed in the 19th century (and at various other times) . For example, the famous gargoyles are not 'original' at all but date from that time.

On the face of it this looks like an issue with screen-readers reading the page simplistically. An element that is not displayed should not be 'displayed' by screen-readers either.

Dropbox advertises "120 days of file recovery" for paying users, though, along with snapshots of file versions. The description of the feature is titled "File back up and recovery".

What are people going to discuss on a Yellow vest Facebook group on an election weekend? How is "political propaganda" different from "electoral propaganda" on an election weekend? You're obviously in bad faith here

Why would someone fly from London to Paris? High speed train is more convenient and electric (so nuclear-powered at least when on the French side).

It's going to be hard to do anything with the projected 60% population rise by the end of the century, though... Most of the environmental damage is down to our growing population gobbling up resources. Of course we should do things to

One of the problems we have is people not being able to take a long term view. Everything has always to work within 5 years... Result: nothing is done. What I wrote should have started at least 30 years ago. As the saying goes, the next bes
