So you don't think a laser is an interesting invention? Those require quantum mechanics for the stimulated emission.

Quantum tunneling is key to many devices as well.

Then of course there's the reality that the mere existence of everything we see around us - the stability of atoms themselves - requires quantum mechanics.

The BBC is pro-Establishment rather than in favour of the government of the day. I.E. Strongly pro-EU / anti-Brexit. It's also decidedly pro-Woke.

I've been doing UK self assessment tax returns every year for over 15 years. It really does just take 10-15 mins for people that have one job (as an employee) and typical investments - savings accounts, shares, etc.

The income numbers are already there and if I want to check it's easy: my employer gives me a form with the same numbers in the same numbered boxes. I just need to specify how much income I had from bank interest.

The tax witholding system usually works as well - the main exception being straight after starting work for the first time or changing jobs, when you can have a temporary code. In these cases I just called HMRC and told them what was going on. The employer gives my pay numbers to HMRC and HMRC give my employer a tax code that determines how much to withhold each month.

Look up the videos "blackbeltbarrister" on YouTube. He's doing a good job of explaining the law as it is and how it's really being applied in the UK.

In a non-interactive case, what is supposed to be reading a response and deciding which links to do some something with or what to do with them?

Let's say you've got a non-interactive program to get daily market close prices. A response returns a link labelled "foobarxyz", which is completely different to what the API returned yesterday and the day before.

How is your program supposed to magically know what to do? (without your input/interaction)

I think they're referring to quantum wavesfunctions being in configuration space rather than real spacetime.

I've seen another example over the last few days.

Quite a few people who have been vociferously pro-EU and in favour of their protectionism, tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers have been going crazy over the US imposing tariffs, even though the US rates are far lower than the EU's.

A similar group has historically been strongly against government corruption but recently have been attacking efforts to uncover and stop corruption in the US Federal government.

Nope...

The UK electricity grid is nationalised - it's run by the National Energy System Operator (NESO).

No, read the article again. They didn't need to pass the same test to the same degree - the criteria was also changed to have "qualified" and "well qualified".

You don't seem to understand the difference between equity and equality (of opportunity).

Equity is actively discriminating, based on measures like race or sex to try to force an ideological outcome.

Equality (of opportunity) is treating people the same irrespective of race, sex, etc...

Equity is clearly racist, sexist, bigotry. Progressives seems to think this is okay, unlike previous examples from history, as their preferred race isn't white and their preferred sex isn't male.

Equality (of opportunity) is the opposite - it isn't racist, sexist bigotry.

They couldn't drop it as it would have affected their ESG rating, which impacts the ability to get loans and raise capital, etc.

You could try a 2 sec search...

There was also another case where the police launched an investigation, which by itself is ridiculous:
