I'd recommend this podcast to anyone interested on what ultra-processed foods actually are (and in general): https://sciencefictionspod.substack.com/p/episode-6-ultra-pr... Spoiler: The science and definitions are

How do you propose it's implemented though? The two sides in this debate seem to be talking at cross purposes, which is why it goes round and round. A: "We need to do this, however it's done, it was possible before so it must

The Henley and partners analysis isn't very good, but nor is this, both are from biased sources. It seems to amount to "that isn't a large proportion" rather than looking at the trend. Dan Neidle[1] and the FT[2] have al

Thank you, I was trying to put a finer point on what I disagreed with in that comment but that's better than I'd have done. It's like saying "just pick the best option"

Obviously few would with that framing, but if they're given policies, lots of British people across the political spectrum would support ones that are more paternalistic. Support for the OSA is very high: https://yougov.co.

Great software, I've been using this since the start of this year, I use it every day, initially as a frustration with ChatGPT and Claude not having proper voice support in their desktop versions and then everywhere. When you are in an

As someone sympathetic to this, throwing in the culture war stuff (make jokes about LGBT etc) is a massive own goal and makes it so easy for people to discredit. This could have far more cross-party support but it's just going to amuse

I got a notification when I opened it, indicating that the default had changed, and I can see it on /model. Only on a max (20x) account, not there on a Pro one.

OK? But I'm not arguing that there don't exist tensions between employers and employees, of course there are. I'm saying that liking isolation and not wanting to interact with others isn't good for employers, and don&#x2

3.1: A skilled person does, but it's still easy to get led down the garden path, even for very skilled engineers, especially when something is urgent, or at least "urgent" 4: Stakeholders really like chat, and it's a con

Well, that's honest! But presumably you can see that it's at odds with the interests of the business..

Because the regulatory environment is different in different countries, and can be changed with political will? The US is particularly expensive: https://www.samdumitriu.com/p/infrastructure-costs-nuclear-e... but it d

Thanks, I just got SpaceDesk working on a cheap Amazon tablet over USB-C (after realising I had to set PTP mode on the tablet...) Should work really nicely as a second monitor when travelling, I have it on 60fps and high settings and the l

I don't understand this at all, a Kustomize base is far easier to read than a Helm Chart? It's a set of manifests with no templating. I find that it's easy to see what gets patched or replaced in the overlays and there's

London's had congestion pricing for 20 years. The ULEZ is a tax on high NO2 emissions, not carbon. It's caused a significant reduction on the externalities of bad air quality, which was the goal.

I scanned through this list, saw Louis Theroux, which seemed an odd one to remove. It's there? https://open.spotify.com/episode/0IGHoKiXvNiWJU9S9xPpei#logi... Makes me question the accuracy of the rest

There's orders of magnitude of difference: https://ourworldindata.org/food-choice-vs-eating-local >Transport is a small contributor to emissions. For most food products, it accounts for less than 10%, and it’s much

Or unless there's regulation, as happened in the EU. Rewards programs got largely killed in the EU by the interchange fee limits in the last few years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchange_fee#European_Union

Quite a few places in London are cashless now, typically non-essential stuff like lunch, where transaction time is important, contactless is much faster. Cash costs are not insignificant, processing time, insurance, it's not really wor

That is quite insane. Card payment fees are illegal in the EU for the consumer, and interchange fees are capped at 0.2/0.3% for the merchant. It should cost the merchant less than 2% all in.

It's the other way around, the film is based on a classified ad, which many years earlier was a YTMND meme/fad. NEDM is also a classic YTMND meme. https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/NEDM It has a complicated origin

The EU limited fees to .3% on credit and .2% on debit cards, and made charging the consumer card fees illegal everywhere though. That's a big improvement on what was otherwise ~3%

A fine of up to €20 million or up to 4% of the annual worldwide turnover, whichever is greater. Yeah there's a reason everyone's panicking about GDPR, it can seriously wreck your business.

I believe they stopped actively guarding it a few years ago, but presumably still monitor it.

This is what horrifies a lot of us (British) about the NHS being further privatised. You create perverse incentives, beyond just providing the healthcare required.
