In principle there was already some separation of duty as solictors in England owe a duty to the Court regardless of who pays them. However it seems not to have been enough in this case. Hopefully will be looked into.

Washing the salt off will reduce rate of corrosion. Probably the most important to wash is the underneath. I suppose it is more important for cars that do not do that many miles/year as in this case the internal parts will last a long

Very nicely written article. One thing about rust, salt and moisture: salts deliquescence. I.e. they absorb moisture from air until there is enough liquid to dissolve themselves in. This happens below 100% relative humidity (around 75% for

Lots of exciting possibilities in here and good work by the authors previously but this one is a bit of "white paper" paper describing what could be done in the future if the money is there

This is the key. The prosecutions were all "private prosecutions" by the post office, in which a private entity begins (and sometimes carries through to end) a prosecution _on behalf of the people_. There is an enormous amount of

This is the key. Companies that lose money are unreliable long-term partners.

In intensity interferometry the phase is not measured, and the timing accuracy is I believe only proportional to the desired effective bandwidth of the measurement. It was done in 1950's with bandwidths ~10 MHz -> 0.1microsec accura

Developers are gonna develop... I agree if you give them a "new" software project risks are high and chance of success surprisingly low. Making do with existing software often better choice.

The problem for this listing as I see it is that yearly profit Arm makes is about £600 million. If you had £10 billion three years ago you'd be lucky to earn 100 million in interest. Today you can earn very near £600 million / ye

Between the various articles this week I learnt about the Kronos gurantee described in the F-1 ( https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1973239/000119312523... Note 19). As I understand it if Arm does n

Yes it was more than just thinking. However the firm commitment from NVidia was I think only $33.5 billion . The other $5billion was contingent on future performance (don't know the terms) and 1.5billion was for staff. https:/&

This type of technology has been around for a while, there are some commercial offerings in the UK -- search for PV-thermal. Should be a useful source of heat into a heat-pump system, either for space or water heating... The whole idea tho

I also tend to just use a CAS, specifically maxima (either commandline, via emacs, via wxMaxima or via notebook, see https://github.com/robert-dodier/maxima-jupyter ). It has the plotting, great units etc, and also inc

Very much so, and especially since a scientific paper that was published (after peer review) means that it is of interest to other scientist, not that it is a fact. But there is also another good point in the post: scientist need to be full

I know there are many newer tools with various advantages. But I've used SWIG bindings in production for almost 20 years and some of the code is still live. An amazing achievement of the SWIG developers. So the stability and longevity

There is the git send-email & co. I understand the extreme convenience of things like github and gitlab but as everything moves onto them it does seem we are becoming really dependent on a few sites.

Also surprised, it seems to make such a big subjective difference. One tip I got from a busy dentist who did not want more business: smear a little toothpaste on the floss before using it, work through all the places where teeth contact. Ge

One example which is applicable to majority of the working population: in the UK at least the fixed-rate mortgages are priced off the Swap rates as that is how banks hedge them.

I don't know about Guardian specifically, but marketing spend is a big part of what the gambling companies do: e.g. GVC spent about £500million on marketing in 2019 https://entaingroup.com/wp-content/uploads/
