Oh, ok, that doesn't mean at all what I thought it meant, sorry! (British, I just assumed 'commodity food supplied by agriculture' would be all cereals etc., possibly nationally grown only, but you know, commodities.)

Big difference in carbs like sugar and say bread, though. Certainly not an expert on Japanese diet, but I don't think they consume a lot of sugar. Their deserts are famously rather savoury. (And by bread I mean non-American bread that

Because OpenAI has the hype and delivers the pop, not AMD. An AMD investment in OpenAI would probably have had a similar effect on AMD, not an equivalent one on OpenAI. (Either way it's Ooh AMD is getting seriously into AI, awesome, s

I'm not sure if this is what you mean too, but by the same logic it's not a 'graphics company' nor gaming etc. either. 'Chipmaker' as they say, specialising in highly parallel application-specific compute.

In my experience in the UK, Amazon is better than consumer protection laws, and miles better than other vendors. They won't question or require lots of information etc. to support things in however many years of warranty, or even outsi

One of the return options is 'item did not arrive'. You can also select 'I need help with another issue' or something like that, and either chat with support and explain or request a call. (At least, in the UK. Like sibl

Oh I see. It's kind of just reversed here then - it's not paid, but if your employer doesn't pay you (i.e. gives you unpaid time off for it) then you can claim capped loss of earnings. Seems like it would be easier in US case

I'd read the novel! I think there's room for more character development, and the neat tie-ups/references back to Krishna's ambitions, Blood Meridian, etc. would be more impactful across chapters in something longer form.

No. I just thought it was amusing/redundant to describe the UK as among the Anglo-Saxon sphere; your mock example is irrelevant - the point of mine was that 'US culture dominates the USA' is obvious, I wasn't just... I d

Government website login isn't really a 'digital ID' is it? I've never thought of it like that anyway - could be used as one, maybe, but it isn't currently. E.g. you say this would help the NHS - well gov.uk login
