What on earth makes you think you could know what's going on in someone else's brain with such confidence. Wild.

For the same reason weights and measures legislation is of course impossible. This is why every time you go to the shops you have to carry your own standard weights and balance scale! The idea that society could regulate the weight and volu

More likely that sensible mainstream journalists will laugh at people under Govt surveillance because they sound like the reddit conspiracy nuts from their youth...

I think the point they are making is that google will let the fraudsters pay to place higher than the warnings because it's profitable to do so.

Seems like a rather large moral hazard if we don't? At some point the courts should be able to say "ok fine you were the directors responsible for the company you're going to prison n years, sorry." Bet we'd see a l

I'm having a crack at making feeds that filter by topic and location using LLM. The current test feed is here: https://bsky.app/profile/super-james.bsky.social/feed/uk-pol... But I'm in the middle o

I have been very impressed with what you can build on it. I built this little service to add UK specific political location data to Action Network CRM. 300 lines for the actual service! code here: https://github.com/jms301&#

I assume the intention is you store actual data in R2 objects and just hold references to them in D1.

I'd have thought the SQLite database (D1) would be a more obvious fit for a blog?

I think the assumption is more that someone who's offended that the Guardian didn't explain a mainstay British playground game to their readers... Is probably from the USA.

Capitalists abhor the market. But they captured the political class and well here we are.

Pay them from general taxation to dig holes and fill them in again with spoons? If you can only succeed because you're government is holding back others at the barrel of a gun do you really deserve to?

As I understand it (and I would like to know if this is wrong). Carbon dioxide emissions take 5-10 years for their heating impact to work through into warming. So even if we could get to net zero today we'd still be in for 5-10 years o

Huh I enjoyed some of is books but they were generally quite meh and the pricing model on Amazon started to seem a bit much. Guess now I know why.

The user was asked to pay 20% then 5k on a service that's called "free" but has some extras which actually cost money. After this the CEO comes along and says that the policy is actually not to bill for this kind of event...

We're pretty obviously going to do geoengineering at this point. But we're still need to decarbonise our economies.

Individual actions to fix this kind of problem are pretty ineffective. That isn't to say it's not worth doing. In the US / UK with FPTP it's basically all you _can_ do voting and activism under FPTP is also pretty ineffe

A better question is: "How do you get legislation passed to regulate advertising when it controls almost every media and social media platform through which voters can get informed on the topic?" And if you have an answer to that

Same way you prevent any anti-social activity which is highly profitable?!? How do developed countries stop people cutting their products with cheaper alternatives? How do we enforce weights and measures legislation so every shop visit does
