Is this actually affiliated with Roger Penrose? Seems extraordinarily rude to use his name otherwise. Was his permission sought? In fact, this may be seen as "passing off" in English law.

If you're in the UK, Argos is quicker and better now, which I find remarkable but extremely pleasing.

For those who are interested, there are much better arguments than this nowadays. The so-called cosmological arguments, particularly Kalaam, are much more convincing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_argument#

I'm in the UK and I've not received a notification that the terms have changed. Is this because our law is more consumer-friendly?

That would be massively influenced by culture. An atheist materialist from the West is going to have a totally different view to someone from a culture where burial has all sorts of codified behaviours and beliefs associated with it.

Don't Google give Mozilla lots of money? Presumably at some point they will just stipulate that blocking WebRequest be made unsupported? I mean, speaking as a Firefox user who never switched in the first place.

Seems like sterling advice if you want to make money. On the other hand, if you just love the game (and programming itself), and want to make it accessible to a modern audience, then fill your boots. In my case, I contacted the original aut

Brilliant idea. YouTube Kids isn't safe for kids IMO, I've said it loads. Good luck. Do you curate the videos or just prevent autosuggestions and autoplay?

There are lots of ongoing experiments like this. Certain agencies maintain experimental wards for this purpose.

Not this sort, as far as I'm aware. The variety where you collude with competitors can be under some legal systems. The point is to discourage market distortion. Some jurisdictions also make employee contract conditions of a similar na

The author finally gets on to their real motivation for writing the piece near the end, where they call for 100% inheritence tax and the abolition of familial solidarity. The expiring money idea, as pointed out by others, is silly and would

The BBC Domesday Project has some remarkable content, containing observations on life from an extraordinary range of people at the time it was made. I recently read an entry from a child of the age I would have been at the time, talking abo

This isn't even remotely confusing now. This move makes it exactly clear what was going on. Microsoft is doing to AI what they tried to do to Internet browsers back in the day. I wonder if they'd have been successful if they'

There's actually remarkably little that they can decide properly for themselves these days, but they have low budgets, and eventually the low budgets lead to underqualified and overstretched staff, who then compound the problem with po

It's a lot simpler to do a single tender and outsource the whole problem of management to a large company than to recruit 20-30 people, project managers etc etc. Council staff are overstretched as it is. This just comes down to expedie

I was in London in the first decade of the 2000s, and pools were closing left, right and centre then too. The councils are terribly badly run, and the old buildings, with higher upkeep costs, are just too tempting to close when they're

We used to have lots of these in the UK, but their ownership was largely in the hands of borough councils, and as a consequence most have been torn down and replaced with a Tesco Express.

From the article: "As I write this, with just a handful of browser tabs open, Slack, and a distraction-free writing app (iA Writer—it’s great), I’m consuming just about 11GB on my M2 MacBook Air." How the hell did we end up here?

Fair enough, yes. That said, people need to understand that this (as I understand it from the article) is absolutely having a physical tissue-level effect on their brains, and it's not necessarily a good thing.

I'm sorry, there's no chance I'll use transcranial ultrasound to manipulate my brain. People who want to lucid dream can do it the old fashioned way without being worried about things like cavitation of their brain cells. The

That's not quite what I'm getting at. Hallucinations are meaningful if you consider the narrative of life to be more important than the mechanism in which it plays out. Further to that, the act of testing or observation isn&#x27

I'm not suggesting that the observer has a problem or condition. I'm saying that reality isn't just physical, and that we make a mistake when we expect everything to always be physically testable, even if to the observer it m
