People don't want to pay a monthly subscription to watch 5 good shows (all drama, btw). Apple TV lacks breadth for the average consumer, at least relative to the competition.

If em dashes were uncommon pre-2022, they wouldn't have ended up in the LLM training sets.

Don't forget to backup those keys, though :)

I suspect, when the specification was created, "_" was already popular for private/reserved members in many programming languages. In C++, for instance, you can only start an identifier with a letter or an underscore. So it s

That's kind-of the point in B2B transactions, it moves VAT all the way down the chain until it hits the consumer.

It's actually less paperwork, because you don't have two companies filing separate VAT rates with two tax authorities. On the surface, the reverse charge sounds complex but it actually simplifies things for the importer.

The Polish company invoices the German company under the "reverse charge" regime. The German company treats the parts as if they were supplied by another Germany company, charging itself German VAT and refunding itself an equal am

For almost all B2B cross-border transactions between two VAT registered entities, the reverse charge is mandatory, not something that you can choose to opt in to.

Businesses don't "pay" VAT, they collect and remit VAT on behalf of the tax authority. A business (supplier) that doesn't sell to end consumers pays no VAT, even though they collect a lot and reclaim a lot. It fully nets

No, only the end consumer pays VAT in the country of consumption. Everything else nets out, because as a supplier you either you claim back the amount of VAT you've been charged from your local tax authority or you are subject to a &qu

Even if you accept those figures (and the report itself says they are underestimates), in what other industry do we allow 10% of your topline revenue to directly result in suicide and depression?

£14 billion is the industry revenue. Gambling taxes to the state are £3.3 billion. Gambling harms are costed at £1.77 billion, of which £1 billion is death from suicide and £0.5 billion for depression. Those costs are conservative estimates

Waste water heat recovery, which heat exchanges with inlet water, would probably be more effective than heat exchanging with a fridge. Realistically both options are too costly for the limited benefit.

Anything to do with bots, fraud, etc can generally be processed under the "legitimate interest" legal basis. You don't need consent.

The basic problem is it says reduce "by 1,500 - 1,800" rather than "to 1,500 - 1,800" (not that that answer is much better). Yes, it's a garbage question, but the first answer is unsafe in all circumstances. The sim

Perhaps a more common question: "How many calories do men need to lose weight?" Google AI responded: "To lose weight, men typically need to reduce their daily calorie intake by 1,500 - 1,800 calories" Which is obviously

They are not banned. They are on "the list" (as the article says) meaning they must be scored using the "NPM model". Only scores exceeding 4 are "banned", which will include sweetened oats.

There's a lot of misinformation going around about how the legislation works. All porridge oats are "in scope" of the regulation, which means they need to be scored using the "Nutrient Profile Model" score before be

I don't think anyone knows for sure, but I think the prevailing theory is it being a survival mechanism. When our ancestors faced famine, it makes sense for the body to shed as much muscle as possible, since this reduces the metabolic

Even amongst traditional calorie deficits, rapid weight loss results in greater loss of muscle mass when compared to gradual weight loss, even if you lose the same amount of mass overall. I.e. you keep more muscle losing 0.5 lbs a week over

Interesting observation. From my experience, any abrupt shift in a metric is normally due to external factors rather than internal ones. Something that academics seem to miss entirely.

The evidence shows an abrupt change in engagement, but that doesn't necessarily mean the algorithm was changed. The title is misleading as the study didn't directly conclude algorithm changes were the cause.

I don't see anything in Polymarket's marketing material that suggests it be used for hedging. They describe it as "profit from your knowledge by betting on future events across various topics" on their own website. Betfa

No, because even though insurance companies make profit, the primary motivation of insurance is risk pooling amongst the policyholders. This is not the case for those trading binary options or similar instruments (except for "hedging&q

I can only speak from a UK perspective, but many financial instruments can be used in a gambling sense by retail "investors". In 2019, our regulator banned binary options, saying this: "Binary options are gambling products dr

But it is not derogatory or euphemistic, it is descriptive. Polymarket is gambling by any definition. Gambling is known and proven to have great harms and risks to society. (And I got the term "gambling exchange" from the UK whe
