What's the difference in pay between a "full doctor" as you put it consultant (UK) or attending (US)? UK a consultant earns £100k pretax and pays approximately 30% net tax rate and 60% marginal rate. What about US? Apparently

By definition the gamers are adults, and playing at murder. Some as terrorists. Can't they just mute or block people they don't like? Cheating is the only real problem.

This does seem nice and even simpler than TI's Ez430-chronos [0]. That said, 3 years on a single battery doesn't seem great of course I suppose it depends what apps you use and load..and that it's programmable that is cool. [

> The word for that is "trolling". Oh that is fascinating, so highlighting a verbatim quote, in context can be trolling? What that makes me think of is that people are in denial about what the quote tells us and have displaced

I'm actually quite enjoying how divisive a simple quote can be. I wonder how often I've made a comment and gotten no engagement. This quote seems to have gotten more engagement than the original comment. And quite emotive engageme

I think it's too valuable to Meta and Alphabet to retain the option to exit a market than comply with these restrictions. Similar attitude to the UK Online Safety Bill. Giving in would just start a landslide of restrictions and demands

I doubt if either will have any interest in paying any amount since it'd open the door to every country wanting some payment. Better to continue blocking Canada and ignore.

The estimate is the estimate (1280 with SEM of 131). It's be foolish of them to mask it intentionally. Once independent estimates are made then you might synthesize an reasonable estimate. Both the editor summary I'm science and t

Yuzu also has an android build although I believe it runs only on snapdragon devices. https://yuzu-emu.org/entry/yuzu-android/ On desktop at least it has an early access programme via patreon (but available here

This must depend on your jurisdiction. But if you own the game, does it matter how you got the ROM?

Yeah feature creep is a crime in open source projects. It's killed more useful projects than it's ever benefitted.

It feels like it's pretty much gameover for free speech in any context. Too much of the population of the world wants rid and it doesn't matter much that they disagree on precisely which opinions are unacceptable.

Indeed there are dramatic differences between ascending and descending colon cancers. They are also dissimilar in their chances of presenting early with symptoms making screening less useful vs those that don't present early. https:&#

This is not an unexpected result. Last I checked breast self examination also does not reduce deaths from breast cancer, nor testicular self examination. If anyone's interested the "Wilson criteria" is the basis of decisions

Suspiciously in time for the even more addictive vaping boom. But this is all beside the point.

It's funny that we're so compelled to innumerate all the ways social media is toxic and not do anything about it. Yet Canada is considering printing individual warnings on cigarettes despite fully saturating understanding that smo

Seems a bit odd for people to order this food additive all the way from Canada for use in the UK? Your local cash and carry probably stocks if. There was also this case which might be related https://www.theguardian.com/soci
