Interesting, thanks!

How do they do that without sending your actual passwords somewhere off your device, or downloading the full list of hacked passwords?

I think you’re missing something here; in the UK we also talk about pre-tax income.

It’s important in lots of ways, for example you choose how much to pay into your pension, and you get tax relief on that.

If you just talk about post-tax income you would miss the enormous difference between someone who is on £54,350 and pays the minimum 8% into a pension (£50k taxable) and someone on £62,500 who pays 20% into a pension (£50k taxable). The second person is a lot better off overall, because they have saved £12,500 in their pension and the first person has saved £4,350, which compounds pretty quickly.

I agree although presumably when you add more devices and types of signal you can build a much richer picture without 3 access points.

For example, in my living room I have a cordless landline, Bluetooth soundbar speaker, WiFi access point, a fixed media box that uses WiFi. Presumably you could build a picture from the interference patterns of these different types of device, which are all on similar frequencies (2.4GHz ish).

Unfortunately, neither Labour nor Conservatives are parties of liberty, although there are some individuals within both that see the importance.

Good shout!

I recently bought a pair for about £35 and was expecting low end quality but they are more like midrange in my opinion (I bought a Chinese brand, “Sanoto DG08”, so I reckon I saved on marketing compared to the market leaders).

I use them all the time now - cycling, listening to adult podcasts around the house or while cooking without being totally antisocial etc. They are great!

I get what you mean, for it to be comparable I think we’d need a “should there be legislation to protect kids on the Internet” referendum and then this is the implementation and everyone hates it…

We very much did have a referendum on brexit though

We didn’t have a referendum on this though, and if we had done I don’t think it would have passed

In my experience (as a Brit), people generally only refer to Americans as Yanks in a mildly pejorative way or if we’re taking the piss, otherwise it’s Americans.

Agreed. And alternatives exist, like Kobo

Oof

He’d probably like today’s politics, it seems fashionable to just lean into anything bad someone says about you.

It’s also because jurors are asked to judge the probability of something happening, not just whether it happened, so it’s not something that you can leave to professionals because judging motive etc requires a representative sample of the population and not some remote legal class of citizens.

So much better, thanks!

“Append…before”, AKA “prepend”!

What’s sobe?

Are those things in the middle at the back soft pretzels? They look like conkers (horse chestnuts), confused the hell out of me!

The irony of the autistic person using a metaphor, and someone else taking it too literally. You have to laugh!

Sounds like what he actually said is that the market would crash if he got elected again…? Presumably he meant the opposite.

The man has never made much sense but this is absolute drivel.

This plane needs a “No couches are left unattended in this vehicle” sticker.
