The restaurants are proactively inspected but nobody is checking that the sticker on the door matches the real rating unless you do it yourself*. Some companies have been taking the piss. * Which you can at the website you listed.

Traditional urinals [1] are very effective. As are the steel variants [2]. The latter tend to become very grim over time. [1]: https://www.hlwashrooms.co.uk/healey--lord-niagara-urinals--... [2]: https://acornt

It has the content three times (not including the title). Once in json (as escaped html) and twice in meta tags (as plain text). They used to have it in plain html too but that got hidden then removed. You see read the unescaped html here

This has already happened in other areas. I'm old enough to remember when customer service people spent all day handling customer problems themselves, which gave them the understanding needed to solve more unusual problems. These days

Do you need the tablet? For the usual 2fa that generates a six digit code you can just install an app on your laptop. Of course it's not actually 2fa but the website doesn't know that.

They don't need to go after Americans. They could go after the head of their bank in Belgium, or wherever, for not providing service.

Yes. Ten years ago mackerel was cheap and abundant but the quota was set in excess of scientists' recommendations. Stocks are dwindling now (surprise!) and mackerel has gone from cheaper than tuna (for a tin) to nearly double. It&#x

It's a shame there isn't something like github badges for CEOs. This post would merit a "Motivational Message Master".

If you're in a browser without native support maybe they implemented a jxl decoder in javascript.

Apparently they won't delete your old comments if you ask them to. I'm someone who goes to somewhat absurd lengths to avoid tracking, but HN's policy doesn't bother me because I know the data exists elsewhere and deletin

To be fair, the rules are insane. There are several different ways in which you might be or become a British citizen, and there are five other kinds of British (non-citizen) nationality. Irish citizens are in a category of their own. And

That's what I wondered. I found the spec*. I'd vaguely thought that 1em was the width of "M" but apparently it's just the font-size, and the connection between font-size and the actual size of the text is very fon

The emoji and symbol picker on Windows 10 has type-to-search for emojis but not for symbols. It's such an annoying restriction. It's quicker to find and copy symbols from the web than trying to find them in the picker. I don&#x2

America is huge. Why do they need to be constructed next to people's homes?

by masfuerte 1mo ago
Because you need to prove you have insurance to drive and the proof is on your phone rather than a piece of paper. I don't know about America but in the UK, if you can't provide proof immediately the officer will give you a "

Factories were originally located near housing (or vice versa) because the factories needed lots of workers. This doesn't apply to data centres. They don't need to be near anybody's home, so why should anyone be obliged to
