This is correct about rented properties, but not about empty ones. Empty properties can attract a discounted rate of council tax, but are only exempt under certain circumstances (resident in prison/hospital, house unlivable). Long-term

The poor camp is even smaller. It's not just those who are poor enough to be eligible for social housing, but those who are lucky enough to get it, or unlucky enough to really, really need it.

There is no such thing as information that is public "in the moment". Once data has been published, it can't be unpublished. Someone will have a copy, and will likely publish it on. This is particularly true wrt crime, the

Doesn't the claim that human choice isn't a product of environment and genetics bring along all the baggage of "free will"? If my choices aren't based on my experiences (i.e how my physical self perceives my enviro

Going strictly by time to reach destination, people will consider "time from when I want to leave my house" or "time before I want to arrive that I need to leave my house". In many cases over land, they'll find that

Simply adding up all the dollars that might find their way into and out of your bank account is rather a naive way to value a life. You may not ever earn or own that much money, but perhaps one of your descendants might be the next Gates&#x

I'd be surprised if they could get a "temporary scaffold screen" "at street level" up "within 24 hours" that would be capable of that. This is a tall building and the problem appears to be quite high up.

In which case, it is much simpler. To work out where an object will fall, you have to model the path of various objects of all shapes, masses and densities with wind of all strengths and directions (including shifting and gusting winds), an

Your question is like saying "if you define green as the colour of grass, how can you make grass yellow?" If you take a sensible real-world definition of the poverty threshold, such as "earning less than 60% of the median ful

All of the elements >=104 started off with a similar temporary systematic name until a final name was chosen. It may well end up being called Elerium.

You are very clearly, and unambiguously declaring that as long as there are six people somewhere in the world who misunderstand, then whoever made the original point is at fault for not making it universally easy to understand, and impossib

This is an insightful point that those who push for austerity measures and privatisation always seem to miss. A government saves money if it pays €x to employ local taxpayers instead of sending that same amount abroad. It will still break

Why are you multiplying it by the days in a year? Are you seriously saying that every single user will waste 72 seconds every single day when they use LibreOffice? 1. Regarding productivity tools, people tend to do roughly the same thing a

Fair enough, I didn't bother converting currency. Perhaps this is the mean of all adults in the household, or mean of all working adults.

This states that it is average household income by language. I could assert the following from the data: * ActionScript developers are horribly underpaid, but more likely to marry lawyers, doctors and bankers. * Haskell developers are rel

But it's still no different to any other language. An XML element has two collection members, one representing the attributes, and another representing the child nodes. How is this different from a Java object which contains two list

This doesn't even look remotely unlike the behaviour of "almost any programming language". If you have an a set of people, do you separate them out into a "manList" and a "womanList", and then panic about

Only if those low-income individuals have to pay the same for their medicine as those with higher incomes. If the purpose of taxing medicine is to subsidise the provision of medicine to people who couldn't afford it at cost price, then

No. Because normal behaviour is order-insensitive, I expect that f(a=1,b=2) and f(b=2,a=1) should have identical behaviour. If you make the arguments order-sensitive, then they may not. If, for readability reasons, I change the order of

Exactly! Punishing people after accidents, however much at fault they may be, is far less important or useful than preventing them in the first place.

On collision is too late. You need to know the lead up to an accident, not the flight of the device through the air afterwards.

I'm not talking about paying everyone the same, I'm talking about the difference between non-market-work and non-work. The article states that Basic Income allows for the recognition of the value of non-market-work. I can't
