  • If that were true, the text could read “ You MUST NOT park partially or wholly on the pavement unless signs permit it. “

  • Is this one of the services that you supply absolutely all your personal details to, to keep your personal details private?

  • If you are part of the Apple ecosystem, look at Homekit Video devices. All the recognition processing is done locally (on your Homepod or Apple TV, if you want remote access and recording and you have existing iCloud storage, you can use that.

  • Certaintly the Tories mismanagement of the economy and social issues boosted support for independence - but beyond that, no - you're going to have to educate me.

  • You seem to be conflating support of otherwise for Scottish Independence with a criticism of Tory Westminster policies. Brown believes in the Power of the Union, he also believes that the Tories' Westminster policies are execrable. There is no inconsistency here.

  • Almost the definition of celebs is that significant numbers of people find them interesting. They may not be my favourite thing, but views differ

  • Why are you reading Gamespot if you wanyt analyis of geopolitics?

  • Yeh - accelerated quickly from 'could be aiming for ironic humour' to 'I'm a idiot'.

    Probably thinks Tiananmen Square tank man, or the Uyghurs use Linux

  • I really don’t see that. You’ve got 3 million users who are happy using the platform- if it were me I certainly wouldn’t turn on federation for them without asking.

    I’d probably have a process that initially

    1. Make federation opt-in for existing users
    2. Make federation an opt-in during onboarding of new users
    3. Start promoting Turing federation on for existing users
    4. Make federation the default for new users
  • Seems like a reasonable way to soft-launch federation to me.

  • So - the first source there has no abstract available - did you look at it? Why include it when we don't know what it says.

    The second source - what exactly did you take away from that? What's your understanding of the phrase 'surrogate end-point'?

    The third source doesn't say chemotherapy is ineffective - it's saying that it is very unpleasant and there needs to be additional research on reducing general toxicity and therefore effectiveness

    The forth source is saying chemotherapy is expensive. No abstract available.

    At this point I give up the will to live - you aren't providing us with sources that demostrate your original claim that "drugs have never been proven effective at improving survival" - you're just throwing vaguely related links at us in the hope taht we won't look too carefully.

  • "They just report on research" requires me actually looking through multiple papers and ensuring that

    (1) their interpretation of each piece of research is correct

    (2) that the research that they have chosen isn't cherry-picked to fit a particular point of view.

    There are going to be huge numbers of research papers on chemo therapy, some will have better research methodologies than others, some may talk about particular forms of cancer and different forms of chemotherapy. "Doing your own research" involves close-reading and expertise. That's why I prefer sources that I can trust to have that expertise. I don't know that about nutrition facts, which appears to be the passion project of an MD who is passionate about nutrition, but who doesn't appear to have a background in oncology.

  • Yeh, I can actually - I can write to my MP, go and see them in the local surgery and persuade them to table questions and even draft legislation It's quite cool.

  • In her lifetime the Queen gave royal assent to around 2,500 bills. If she directly influenced the contents of more than 3, I would be surprised

  • There are very very few. And all directly linked to the issue of monarchy itself

  • He can always abdicate. It’s been done before. But that wi have no effect on the constitution or shake of government

  • changing the system of government doesn’t require anyone’s death.

  • So, 1 item, specifically connected to the monarchy in 70+ years.
