I was under the impression that in UK law at least, (and obviously not in this case) the trustees of a non-profit would be bound to work in the best interests of that non-profit. And so allowing an asset like this to somehow slip out of the

This is the principle behind biodynamic farming, right?

Oof, steady there. Poor people shouldn't drive? "If you're not driving by the age of thirty, you've failed in life" was a quote I believe was attributed to Thatcher. She did some great stuff, but I'm not sure I

Could anyone who's tried installing it on a 2015 MacBook Pro give me some feedback - will it work?

One rather fabulous example I encountered had speakers rigged up to the wallboard that displayed pipeline info, and when someone broke the build, a clip of "Father Jack" from Father Ted profusely swearing was broadcast out across

To save me watching the video, can you articulate why you believe that Marx was influenced by Gnosticism and Hermeticism? Is this the Popperian "Plato was an enemy of open society"?

You seem to be very cynical about the input of people with money. This "unproductive trust fund kid" seems to be a sort of caricature which is easy to rely on because it evokes the "undeserving rich". In reality, inherit

That reductionist analysis treats people as individualised economic drones. What do you mean by "productive" - earning a salary? Contributing to civic society? People don't just do nothing if they have means. Inheritance tax

This isn't "protecting" multigenerational businesses. Inheritance tax shouldn't be a thing in the first place.

by b800h 2y ago
Literally yes - generational farms are expected to go out of business when the head of the family dies as a result, and have to sell up to massive farm businesses.

The other point worth raising is that the employee has stated on Twitter that he had a media agreement with his employer that allowed him to speak independently (presumably because he runs a YouTube channel, as per the comments elsewhere on

Wow, when you put it like that... Incredible.

In this case, when it's backed by a data set based on other people's work.

Doesn't using an ML model mean that they're likely to find antibiotics which are similar enough to existing (and natural) antibiotics to render them potentially ineffective?

Fair point.

Missing source code? That's terrifying.

There was a UK-based cloud provider. Unfortunately it collapsed, leading to a lot of costly replatforming. https://www.civilserviceworld.com/news/article/cabinet-offic...

Great article. One question - This is a high-throughput service, so I'm interested in whether Python is necessarily the right choice. It could be that it's a minor concern and the latency is all elsewhere in the architecture anywa

I'm not sure the diagram helps in any way, certainly in the use case on the main page. The "main account" is just thrown in to provide some sort of intermediate step. In most people's cases, it's just about income a

Can you describe it in any greater detail? What does the periphery of the blemish look like?

Can you describe a blemish on an apple to me?

It wasn't a matter of healing in this case; I trust the accounts.

So you can't picture your mother's face in your mind's eye (which may or may not be there?) It's not the same as hallucination.

Anecdotally (can't remember the old book references), this had been observed in "new age" and "spiritual" groups in the 1960s, with the conclusion that people could be trained out of it.

I gave up caffeine entirely as I was horribly sensitive to it, and went through a very painful 10 day cold-turkey (including muscle spasms so strong they'd wake me up at night). I feel a lot better for giving up now!

I used to have rules like this, but found that the weekend drinking was enough to significantly impact me later in the week (especially as I got older). The new rule deals with that. It means I have to be like you and choose my tipples (and

Honestly, I've found so many good reasons not to drink sugary fizzy pop on my own account that I certainly don't like my kids to do it (although they get a pass occasionally). My main concern with it as a substitute is that you ge
