The UK has also now passed laws that criminalise hogging the middle or fast lanes on motorways (UK highways). Unfortunately it's not strongly enforced. It feels like a significant cause of congestion during peak hours.

It’s surprising how many people get them mixed up even in the UK. England is one country of the United Kingdom. Scotland, England and Wales make up the island of Great Britain, the largest of the British Isles. The UK also includes Northern

I’d agree nationalism played a big role, but I’d also argue that was being driven by a right wing press that had used Europe as a scapegoat for decades to explain away economic disparity. Meanwhile there are legitimate complaints about the

The British empire reached its territorial peak in about 1921. This article is more about its domestic economic decline during the late 19th century.

Interesting, is your model still based on radiographs alone, or can it look at cross-sectional imaging as well?

Even without the US guarantee, I strongly doubt the UK would have entered an actual shooting war with Iceland over fish.

When you say the UK, what you mean is a group of corrupt private companies that find it more convenient and cost friendly to dump raw sewage rather than correctly process it. I'm fairly sure the majority of people in the UK would be in

I’ve heard that distinction used in the UK. The other down side of buoyancy aids I was told about is that many (most?) will not turn you face up if you are unconscious. Gives useful extra mobility for sports but can be fatal if the wearer i

Like in the youtube video's comments section, I suspect everyone on HN is going to assume that the ATC was simply being petty, and perhaps that was the case. But... We don't know what the approach into SFO looked like that night,

If you look at the recent SEC filing, they present evidence Coinbase likely knew what they were doing was illegal and coached companies wanting to list coins on the exchange on how to remove “problematic language” from their promotional mat

If your coin meets the Howie test it’s a security and must be registered with the SEC. If you go to the SEC and say “hey, please register my security so I can scam some people”, and they say no, your security doesn’t stop being a security,

Genuine question (I don't really know anything about crypto or finance): why isn't coinbase buying up USDC at these prices? They should have confidence USDC will repeg as they hold the backing assets, and may as well prop up the p

Not the parent poster. The vast number of commenters in this thread seem to assume that these LLMs are close to, if not actually, general AIs. It’s quite refreshing to see comments challenging the hype. Don’t you think the burden of proof l
