The title could be fixed from "in £1 deal" to "as part of £1 deal". No ambiguity there, although it doesn't adequately explain how that came about, but that's why there's an article.

And even if someone consistently cannot separate work from home life - 'traditional' employment will not vanish. Many companies will have zero WFH (or very little), while others will have a gradient between full-office worker and

Adding to this as someone who has mingled with people that worked at some casinos: if you're losing very badly and seem like a 'problem gambler', sometimes they'll send someone to try and dissuade you. It's bad PR i

Indeed. I'd further say that remote work can benefit those occupations that cannot work remotely! If we imagine that a large percentage of the population doing work that can be done from home is doing so, there will be less traffic on

Sweden also has a fairly low population density outside its larger cities, as well as a relatively small (10M) population. And its measures aren't without criticism - consider they have 100 deaths per 1M people, which places them 10th

It's not just the US. This happened across countries in Europe as well; Italy had it happen, Germany had "Coronavirus Parties", even. It happens because some people are idiots, and others aren't quite aware of how seriou

As others have pointed out, while it's easy at a quintessential level, it's not easy if you're dealing with actually complex (and clever) structures. I don't know if you've ever had that experience in your OllyDbg-u

Isn't that a different paradigm, though? A posting bot set loose on a forum/platform will (normally) visibly degrade service in a much more visible and impactful way than a scraping bot. And in either case, writing (and running!)

I think the argument around it reeks of dishonesty, really. People arguing against political ads or speech on Facebook are often skirting around the main elephantine problem of democracy: most people are disinterested or maliciously misinfo

I fully agree with you. Back when Google was doing it, I also thought it was a really dumb idea - you're essentially signalling "If you have these ideals, we want you working for us", which locks your company into a vision of

I don't know if you're posing a rhetorical question, but I'd genuinely like to know this. Lying in politics isn't new, and political ads are also not new. Is lying in political ads a new thing? If not, why is it a proble

Is there a reason DHCP can't be extended to provide DOH, too? As long as the OSes of connecting devices support it, I don't see why not.

You're correct in the definition of 'resigning'. However, there are many cases (and this seems to be one) where people are pushed into resigning against their will. People will still resign, whether out of a sense of honour,

I'm not fine with Discord as a replacement for TeamSpeak. I recognise some of its advantages, but the voice quality is absolute garbage when compared to what you can get TeamSpeak to do.

This article seems (to me) to be advocating some sort of scientific cognitive dissonance. Where you can 'believe' different (and contradictory) things about the nature of systems surrounding you. I'm not sure I buy it.

That is not non-determinism; it's just difficult to predict determinism. I postulate that we cannot build non-determinism out of deterministic pieces - we can just get it complex enough that we can't accurately pre-determine what

Yeah - I did not mean that line in the sense of "it cannot work any other way", but more that I hadn't imagined people could feel differently than me about that topic, so I didn't conceive of it evolving any other way. T

Huh, given all the answers here - I guess I might be different from the average, I never considered a different experience. At my Alma Mater, we were always "mass-mailed" when grades were released. The email didn't have our g
