I can see why the government would do this - doesn't capitalism require a steady supply of capital?

Cofounding a startup in the physical space with someone whom you have not only just met, but who's also freely admitted to recklessly destroying your property? Sub optimal.

Years ago I built a cms using these sliders, and one of the users was having problems. I double checked and it worked fine. So I said I'd watch him use it to see what was wrong. He clicked the slider and dragged it to the other side. M

WP is way behind modern PHP. From the article > Right now, WordPress only has beta support for PHP 8.0. Now, to be clear: PHP 8.0 was released in 2020, and is now end of life, three years later — and WordPress doesn't yet support it

This is a charity asking teaching establishments to follow its recommendations. They are perfectly within their rights to ignore this. Nothing very sinister going on.

Would you mind sharing sources on what was done and what the (un?)intended consequences were in SF, Chicago, Seattle and LA?

Wow, I thought of this exact same analogy but with rugby instead of American football. I think the same is true for all subjects. My son has the same issues with English literature, but I explain to him that learning to analyse things is a

Very interesting. I was brought up in Caernarfon, or Segontium (Segontio on the map, although I've never seen that spelling before). I've walked and run part of the Roman road along the north Wales coast. Much of it is the old pil

I think you're misunderstanding here. From what I've seen of ads like this, it shows a woman in the shower using the product. Any body part shown is incidental and not exploitative.

UK centric, but I think the first three years of high school/comprehensive should be selling the subjects to the kids, before they start their GCSE at age 14/15. Teachers should inspire children and make them have that feeling of

A while ago I decided to change my usual music lists. First of all I decided to listen to opera. I started with Mozart then went with whatever sprang to mind or Youtube's recommendation sidebar. I'm now a fan of Puccini (predicatb

I'm exactly the same as you, but my adolescent children all turn to TickTock or YT when searching for an answer. They can't google for shit, unfortunately. My fault probably, but as I managed to learn all of this on my own, I expe

Many Brits still do I'm afraid. It's a sad irony to see 'Dunkirk Spirit' being rolled out at a time of crisis, despite it being a rout of the British army. It was a logistical triumph, which no doubt allowed the British

Work to live or live to work? You feel like this because your job is slowly killing you. Stop working overtime and weekends, and find things to do instead. This won't be an overnight thing, so take your time. If your job pressures you

I first came across this old Chinese curse around 2006 "May you live in interesting times". It took Brexit and a pandemic for me to truly understand its meaning (and probably growing up - both myself and my now teenage children).

My children are now over the age of ten. I find myself in a great place to start doing other things. I can do much more in the evenings, as long as I'm available for their taxi service. And me being out of the house has little to no im

There were huge disagreements at the time. Many people weren't happy with the invasion of Afghanistan, but realised it might have been necessary after 9/11. But the rationale for the invasion of Iraq was flimsy at the time, with p
