I mean it’s worth remembering that some of the poorest areas in the country are in London. https://citymonitor.ai/community/uk-census-tower-hamlets-has-the-worst-child-poverty-rates-in-the-uk
Basically, the government doesn’t give a shit about poor people regardless of where they live. They just want to ensure that hedge fund managers living in Surrey can commute into their London office with a minimum of inconvenience.
Both. It’s like the saying “Governing a big country is like cooking small fish.” (With the explanation that if you keep poking it, it’ll disintegrate) also taught me how to cook fish as well as realpolitik.
The fish advice was most useful.
It’s very true on a Mac. Almost every time you click the green button, it jumps to full screen and then you can’t drag another window on top of it.
It’s a pain in the arse because my workflow is to have a reading screen with documents and emails on, and a work screen with whatever I’m actually doing. But if outlook is full screen, you can’t drag any other windows on top of it.
Don’t know why the first guy was saying this is a Windows thing though. I only run onto it on macs.
It’s good for anything that has thousands of examples on stack overflow.
For example, every time I end up trying to work with pandas, I always forget the syntax and it’s generally good here.
Anything unusual, or that is sufficiently complicated that I wouldn’t be able to Google for, and just forget it.

Is buddy really a problem?
I’d be more worried that someone thinks I’m treating them like a dog, than a man.

It’s a great starting point for any English word hierarchy.
Dev jobs and data scientists often get a lot of leeway.
Very big tech companies tend to be more open to it. When I was at AWS their threat model was basically to treat every end user device as untrusted, which then meant that they didn’t rely on keeping laptops locked down for security.
More generally any personal data obtained from a third party. E.g. if you’re generating a credit score you might contact someone else with a record of financial transactions.
I don’t think you can buy the book. It was 20 volumes in 1989, and they’ve been working on an ongoing update since then. There’s no plans to physically print a third edition.
But yeah, it’s a serious scholarly resource, and they do put out free small dictionaries as well.
Yeah, I think the reason threads is attaching itself to the fediverse is precisely because meta don’t see it as a threat.
It’s an easy way to appear open to the regulators without actually helping any competitors.
It’s difficult. Perjury requires intent. If a badly trained employee in a hurry makes a mistake that’s not perjury.
This means it’s legal, under the current law, to badly train your employees and to set them quotas for the amount of DMCA takedowns they have to serve.
They’re not intentionally making false statements.
To stop this, you need to create new explicit penalties for bad takedown requests.
Ok but LinkedIn and Facebook don’t have a duty to broadcast what you want all over the internet.
They don’t need consent not to share personal information, only to share it.
Because it operates on the data of UK residents.
The internet has made everything really weird in terms of jurisdictions. You can have photos of UK citizens taken in the UK and stored on a UK server, and if a company from somewhere else scrapes the data without permission and moves it out the UK, that doesn’t obviously mean that it’s now fine to use for whatever.
Now of course the law has to have some jurisdictional limits, but it’s not surprising that there has been some disagreement about where they are.
Doom on the switch was amazing for this. I tried to play Doom eternal on the ps4, afterwards, and it was just such a disappointment because it didn’t have gyro.
I mean BMI is also useful for comparing individuals in certain instances. That’s why doctor’s use it.
It’s a crappy measure, but it’s good enough for a range of use. You just have to be thoughtful enough to say, yeah it’s not going to work for this person.
I’m not anti BMI, I’m just opposed to people repeating statements like “BMI is useful to compare populations” which don’t really mean anything.
You should have kept reading about BMI.
This isn’t about speculative genertc factors it’s about medical boards arguing that the thresholds need to be set differently for these populations.
Use lower BMI thresholds as a practical measure of overweight and obesity in people with a South Asian, Chinese, other Asian, Middle Eastern, Black African or African-Caribbean family background, as they are prone to central adiposity and their cardiometabolic risk occurs at lower BMI:

Similarly, new Zealand used to have higher thresholds for obesity for Maori and Polynesian (which includes Samoa), but because a range of issues including diabetes is such a problem for these populations they brought it back down. It still doesn’t work reliably as a risk factor for a range of stuff.
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-06-bmi-inconsistent-obesity-maori-pacific.html
It doesn’t really work at that either.
You can’t use it tell if soccer players are fatter on average than rugby players or if Japanese people are fatter than Samoans. Or even if men are fatter on average than women.
But these are population questions.
Did you have symptoms from low vitamin d, and how long did they take to resolve?

It’s always one of the first things to get cut when companies try to save money.
