Any reason why you couldn’t renegotiate your contract? I’m sure you could frame it in a non threatening way and get the bit that bothers you redefined

And the author in fact says in the article that that is what he should have done. The whole thing is about how everyone can be anti social from time to time

Agreed. However that is the point he was making - in the next paragraph he goes on to explain that he was being “a bit of a cock about it” and why

I think you are right. In fact, thinking some more, it would seem that the whole point of the ‘rules of the road’ is simply to prevent crashes - we have just built up a whole load of protocols in order to achieve that

Interestingly all four of those pronunciations for Greenwich are valid. As a local I hear (and use) all of them interchangeably and am only vaguely aware of the difference if I consciously think about it

Why would you want to turn the flashlight on when the phone is in your pocket?

Yes, that’s bad but note that even unpatched it is only an issue if the GUI management port has been left open - which seems to be the case with all the security issues people highlight with Mikrotik I wouldn’t disagree that management port

Just want to point out that the fact that there are CVEs does not mean they are insecure. All kit has security issues but the important thing is how open the manufacturer is about the issues and how quickly they fix them, and Mikrotik have

You don’t need to swipe, just tap the screen lightly and it turns the page. I often read my paper white one handed

Surely the people that voted for him are responsible?

Unless of course, the reason most people spend so much time consuming rather than producing is precisely because their devices are so hard to produce on?

Unlikely. I pay for NowTV in the UK and that is showing more and more ads Or at least I did, until they put the price up and I noticed they had bundled in another service without me realising and I was actually paying 3 times more than I t

I particularly liked the point about how much worse this gets when the output from one (or more) ML system is used as the input to another. Not something that had occurred to me before

> Is it "bias" if it's true? Yes. Statistics are for populations, not for individuals. Using a statistical correlation as the basis for an individual decision is inherently biased, but is something that is seen all too of

As another atheist, that sounds (taken at face value) pretty good to me. Community is massively missing for many people and having a structure that provides that is very attractive. Not disputing your points, just would be nice to have an e

Creatine Phosphate is a fuel - it is converted very quickly and the muscles only store tiny amounts (enough for a few seconds only), and creatine is used in recycling ATP as you say. I didn't realise lactic acid was used to provide ene

Sorry, I was unclear. High intensity exercise is generally anaerobic yes, not a third type of exercise. I was really querying your point about high intensity exercise using lactic acid as an energy source. My understanding is that during a

by funnybeam 7y ago
Not sure this is correct. My understanding is that anaerobic exercise uses glucose and stored glycogen to generate energy and produces lactic acid as a by product. Oxygen is not required for this process but its presence does make glycolysi

Because those species already exist and we are changing the ecosystem (by introducing micro-plastics everywhere)?

On-premises AD has the same functionality but it is a pain to set up and so limited as to be not worth the effort

Which is the whole point. Either reduce your polluting ways or lose business to a company that does.

Actually it’s extremely common but better known as performance related pay. This is framed as paying staff a bonus based on how well they have contributed but is often used to distribute the same pool of money, avoiding giving staff salary
