I don't disagree.

To be clear, I think the company are idiotic in the way they handled this, but I guess the integration probably hooked into the company's cloud-based services - so their servers.

Or ... just post here when an IOS release comes out.

A splendid chap, but I happen to think Sadiq is doing a decent job. The Count can probably find a better target

You don’t have to lose your dogs. You just have to keep them muzzled in public. And lose their testicles, I guess

Seems like they follow the law as voted for https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64947695#

Are you absolutely sure rage the Uber driver comtract requires exclusivity in Australia? That would five substantially different to the other countries it operates in - and I would expect that any such requirement would lead the tax authorities to put them squarely in the ‘employer’ category

If you drive with Uber or something similar in Australia, I’m pretty sure you will be classified as self employed. I doubt Uber is your “employer”

Yeh. I don’t see the point in that at all, I can’t see how it would practically help his political campaign

Sounds like a boost to the second hand market

Why wouldn’t the IRS want to get tax returns filed directly from the tax payers,

I’m sure they would but some well-funded lobbyists have decided that excluding the free market would be detrimental to The American Way of Life™️

But we don’t, there is zero benefit to building nuclear today over renewables.

What are your practical proposals for generating 25 Gigawatts over a sustained period on a day like today when there is not much wind and negligable solar generation?

And once again - it's not a zero-game and we are in a climate emergency. Nuclear is a useful adjunct to renewables and some people need to let go of their 1970s nuclear doomerism.

It’s not a zero-sum game and we are in a climate emergency.

As I type this, wind is only making up 13% of grid demand, down from well over 50% last week - which means that gas generation is sitting at over 62% http://gridwatch.templar.co.uk/

Nuclear is a reasonable lower carbon way of serving base-load when wind/solar aren’t delivering . I just wish, as with all things climate-related, we had committed to this 30 years ago.

Yup, got the e-mail through today. Nice. Thanks for using my code

You don’t think that the data the companies collect and analyse from their users don’t already give them a decent idea? How do you think targeted advertising works?

The sad thing is that that the BBC - particularly BBC Radio - has been reporting on this in depth for years, as has Private Eye, Computer Weekly etc.

BBC's The Great Post Office Trial

And I’m pretty disappointed that in a discussion as serious about something as the loneliness epidemic that is blighting so many lives, someone tries to side track it onto their own, and quite separate pet subject. But you do you.

Mental health is a profoundly important and covers a diverse set of widely differing conditions can’t believe that you are shutting down a conversation about schizophrenia because it doesn’t immediately conform to your narrow idea of what the so-called ‘topic’ of the conversation is. Horrific.
