It's not believable. All major parties in the UK talk tough on immigration control and then increase immigration.

Well there's the pickle we're in. The Conservatives talk center-right but are essentially Blairite in their actions—they seem to be doubling down on that approach with the return of Cameron to government. There's a massive ga

No, 'they' voted for Brexit so the UK's borders and immigration policies could be controlled by politicians accountable to the people of the UK. But they didn't predict that a Conservative Party promising reduced immigra

Sure, but ask yourself in each scenario if it has any impact beyond boosting your own sense of self-worth.

Yes, but as someone who has done a lot of freelance writing, I can tell you that 'what makes the client happy' is often orthogonal to 'what's best for the client'. It's challenging to make them see sense when t

Except Google isn't doing what the company thinks it's doing. AI detectors don't work. Using one as a search ranking signal would make search worse by erroneously down-ranking false positives. Google knows this, so it's

The 'terms of service' stuff always puzzles me. Why does YouTube think its terms of service should be able to dictate which software I run on my computer.

Curiosity? I like to know if anyone is reading what I write. It's also useful to know what people are interested in. Even personal bloggers may want to tailor content to their audience. It's good to know that 500 people have read

The contrasting sentiment is "the squeaky wheel gets the oil". That is, the employee who is the most vocal will get the most attention and advantages.

The experts are women. Maybe you should listen to the women who run the fashion industry instead of assuming you know better.

Throwing tantrums might more charitably be phrased “protecting its interests”.

Could you point out what I said that was incorrect? The UK agreed to join Horizon when I said it did. The EU prevented that from happening due to trade disagreements over Northern Ireland. Those disagreements were resolved with the Windsor

UK Horizon membership was negotiated and agreed in the 2020 EU/UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement. It’s nothing to do with a slow realization, just an agreement on terms. The EU was dragging its feet.

That attitude was more common years ago when Apple was beleaguered and in real danger of going out of business. People who grew up with Macs and preferred the hardware and OS didn’t want it to go away, so they made efforts to support it. I

Top notch developer experience there, Danny. Well done.

They don't work. If three services that don't work agree, it doesn't mean they are right. It just means whatever spurious metrics they use happen to align in that case.

If you do a lot of SEO keyword research, you'll come across these often. Lots of topics have odd exam-question-like keywords with large search volumes. As the article points out, there's little point optimizing for them unless you

Ideas are free, but their execution in the form of useful, high-quality written content, videos, etc is not. It’s quite expensive and time consuming to create content that is not, as you put it, merely trash on the Internet. If people hadn’

Yeah, it takes forever to produce a mediocre result. Bing Chat and Kagi’s FastGPT are much more usable. Or even Kagi’s Quick Answer and Summarize feature on search results.

The original isn't in titlecase, and HN doesn't seem to have a policy that headlines should be. There are several headlines in sentence case on the front page right now.

Yeah, the title should be edited to remove the capitalization of 'Vision'. It has the potential to mislead and it's incorrect anyway.
