Good graph that shows how imports from the US have exploded since Russia invaded Ukraine... The UK is the same as the rest of Europe. They don't leverage their gas reserves and have a shambolic renewables and nuclear strategy (or lack

Yes. Strategically Europe keeps getting things wrong while, e.g., China keeps getting thingss right: they leverage their domestic coal reserves while going all in on nuclear and renewable, and they do it comprehensively with battery tech, s

If Europe does't buy gas from Russia then that leaves Qatar and the US. Qatar does sell a lot to Europe (hence you'll notice how "friendly" Europe is towards Qatar) but is vulnerable to instability in the straight of Orm

Well they did have to innovate once SpaceX showed up, didn't they? But they played a Nokia, instead... And soon they'll a double whammy of Chinese launchers on the global market. Arcane has become a launcher for EU government ag

Not so. Europe has the Guiana Space Centre and Ariane. Arianeespace was the world's first commercial launch service provider. But in a very European fashionthey were slow to innovate and to adapt and were completely blown out of the wa

Europe has managed, again, to self-destruct along the way. Last Russia carried out more launches than Europe and India was just behind.

The more important point, I think, is that it means that the trebuchet is lethal with similar range to a handgun.

How is it relevant to a consumer? If I pay for an app I am interested about how much I pay, not about any fees Apple charges the publisher of the app. Same as when I buy something in a shop...

I still often check the map, albeit now on Google Maps, before I go somewhere I don't know, whether by car or on foot. I find it provides much better and needed awareness of my surroundings. It sometimes also helps falling for sat-nav

You don't normally hear about these things if/when they happen, there is no official reaction, and you don't normally hear about the retaliation, either. That being said: https://edition.cnn.com/2026/04&#

Labour got in because people voted for Reform instead of the Tories for the reasons you mention but also because of the handling of immigration (remember it was just after largest net immigration on records) so Tories dropped and first-past

Yes most immigration is legal, so a policy choice. That's exactly why the Conservatives lost the last general election as voters shunned them and voted Reform UK. Why? Because for years they say they wanted lower immigration but actual

Hmm, their manifesto said " A fair and properly managed immigration system "... That's the absolute minimum lip service and a platitude, not any sort of pivot, which they cannot do considering the various power groups within

I think people voted Binface in protest but knowing that he would lose. Because what if he had won (apart from Farage's utter humiliation, of course)? Would he sit in Parliament in costume? Need to know when to stop so that the joke do

> a polycrisis of far-right immigration agitation I think an important issue in the UK political landscape and public is the polarisation that makes people label immigration a "far-right agitation". Immigration is a serious a

Sometimes they do know but do it anyway (or even for that very reason) because it serves their political interests and then the great bill they were supporting is blocked by someone else, which can be blamed as needed. I think Trump played

Yes that can happen but from the hiring side does this necessarily made them the "best candidate" or simply the best-known and safest?

by mytailorisrich 2mo ago
If applying to a job is a sign that you are not part of the "best candidates" then there is no hope, is there? ;) That said, in this case it was via a recruiter so probably the recruiter reached out to potential candidates, so peo

Please don't do that... Your reply does not address my point nor does it bring anything of value and only misrepresents what I wrote in a rude way.

> As the person doing the hiring that kind of incentives me to strive for a lower salary, at least for that first year That's a very bad way to look at it. If you think recruiters are too expensive don't use them, but I suspe

What? No, the economy was destroyed at the time of Mao's death and it was the market-oriented reforms that came afterwards that started the economic boom. HN always manages to produce extra strange posts.

Oh interesting. In China it is still used (you can still see prices with decimals beyond share prices and petrol stations) though on the way out.

No there are cents, they are called fen (分). It's in Japan that it's all just Yen.

Frankly this is the least of the problems we have. There seems to be a big lack of perspective and priorities, as well as consideration of root cause of things like surveillance, and perhaps this is by design.

I'd say not really because most common use is to plot metrics like deficits where lower is worse so people may be accustomed to that... thus best practice should indeed be to always label whatever the direction of the chart to make cle

Thanks. Ah yes, I skipped over their own figures in the article. K-Quant-17GB seems possible, though as they state 24GB.

Yes and they seem good at this, too. News reports are that they started stockpiling in January at the latest in prevision of a conflict in Iran that did start right at the end of February.
