The AT protocol I was looking at the other day has a concept of choosing your own algorithm to aggregate content. I think that’s an important option in order for a dominant platform to be useful to society. I think the submission is exactly

The members weren’t allowed to choose Badenoch, she was eliminated at an early stage by the MP vote, probably because she was too radical and lacked ministerial experience. Rishi Sunak was claiming to be resident in the US while Chancellor

The most popular candidate with the party members was Kemi Badenoch, a black woman, so it doesn’t seem credible that people voted against Rishi Sunak mostly because of race.

Rishi Sunak was claiming to be resident in the US while Chancellor of the Exchequer, while his wife was claiming non dom status to avoid paying tax. He was also hated by the supporters of the previous PM because he wielded the knife. Also,

Yes, at a moment of inflation, they announce significant tax cuts which will have a big inflationary impact. The Bank of England was already behind on interest rate rises, and now the government is relying on them to not only counter global

I think that tax credit withdrawal still exists, so now the effective tax rate is 40% from £50k to £100k, then 60% from £100k to £125k, and 40% above that. Also, despite 10% inflation they’ve frozen the tax bands, so all workers earning abo

Hi, are there Jacobson papers for 100% renewables looking at geographical distribution of generation, storage and interconnectors, then modelling them against weather and demand, or are they cruder than that? If those papers exist, can you

Wind has higher average output in winter and at night, but even in winter and at night, it has lulls which last for many days. Look at the wind and solar generation numbers for Germany for a month last winter: https://www.energy-

Has anyone seen any good explanations or visualisations of how long term storage would be achieved? For instance in Britain solar in winter has 1/10th of the output in summer, and we can have lulls in wind output for many days at a tim

How do you build your intuition about creating queries in a way to avoid this? Is it a matter of having a conceptual model of relational algebra and the way the different db engines work, or is it more an accumulation of heuristics over tim

I thought circumin combined with pepper was to increase bioavailability, which has since been found not to be useful because the effects occur in the gut, and don’t require absorption into the blood stream.

The obvious thing to do was continue to invest in Servo. If they could have produced a parallel layout engine, which could provide app like animations without fiddling on desktop and Android, and then make that easy to embed, they could hav

When I was looking at it, I got the impression a produced work was something like a t shirt with a map printed on it. Is that wrong? Or any idea where I could read about how the interpret that permission?

I doubt most of the countries with much higher excess deaths had strict lockdowns which extended for long periods of time. Russia for example had one six week lockdown in March 2020 and then held the economy open for the next 18 months, but
