The regulations mandate that the market operates that way. It's the government that should be held to account.

Prediction markets are nothing like stock markets. Maybe they are more like binary options markets. In the UK for example, these were for a long time regulated as a gambling product, and for the past 7 years have been banned to retail consumers.

(a) It's not prostitution, and (b) while prostitution is illegal in the US it's perfectly legal in the UK and many other countries.

A year ago, they announced that half of their engineers will be in India by 2026:

There is actually a hypothesis around this, but I don't think it's really been investigated: https://www.nature.com/articles/nutd20122

70% of the energy in a petrol car is lost as heat. Only around 30% or less of the energy actually propels the car. I imagine that's why there's a big difference.

For mobile app development, running all my local docker containers for backend services, plus 2-3 iOS/iPad simulators and 1-2 Android emulators quickly pushes the memory limits.

In the UK there's a lot of TV advertising for "weight loss medication" that never refers to any drug by name. But if you look at the small print, it refers to "Orlistat", which is technically available without a prescription. Of course, nobody (or few) actually want Orlistat or end up being prescribed it after the consultation.

> 1. Something is systemically wrong in the US when we are cutting off people’s access to meds, like GLP-1s, which have profound health benefits.

The US is the only country, aside from New Zealand, that allows direct-to-consumer marketing of prescription only medicines.

> So what’s happened here? Well, whoever collected these emails first converted from CRLF (i.e., “Windows” line ending coding) to “NL” (i.e., “Unix” line ending coding). This is pretty normal if you want to deal with email. But you then have one byte fewer:

I think there is a second possible conclusion, which is that the transformation happened historically. Everyone assumes these emails are an exact dump from Gmail, but isn't it possible that Epstein was syncing emails from Gmail to a third party mail server?

Since the Stackoverflow post details the exact situation in 2011, I think we should be open to the idea that we're seeing data collected from a secondary mail server, not Gmail directly.

Do we have anything to discount this?

(If I'm not mistaken, I think you can also see the "=" issue simply by applying the Quoted-Printable encoding twice, not just by mishandling the line-endings, which also makes me think two mail servers. It also explains why the "=" symbol is retained.)

It's not perfect, but this is the point of tender.

Just because you read an article, doesn't mean you have to agree with it. (Yes, I read the entire article before I commented.)

Clearly the site is intended for a few mega-employers to push out as "training". How many employees do you think need to take the training to recoup £4.1 million in GDP? Not many.

If it does upskill 10 million people just a tiny amount, £4.1 million is incredibly cheap.

It later transpired the real reason the Police wanted to ban the group:

"West Midlands Police did have "high confidence intelligence" that members of the local community in Birmingham were planning to arm themselves to attack Maccabi supporters."

The gas and other base load infrastructure are largely built, it just needs maintenance which is a lower cost than building something new. The CfD is a competitive process, so the price (should) fully incorporate the cost to build the infrastructure, maintain it, operate it and make a profit.

It's a contract for difference, so that 9p is paying for both the infrastructure and the cost of the electricity it produces I believe.

No, I mean consumable, as in spending dollars to buy a product. Palatability is an input to consumption. It drives consumption and profit.

The concern I have with vegetable oil is if you heat it past the smoke point, you end up creating toxic compounds. The saturated fats are most stable.

I prefer lard because it's slightly lower in saturated than tallow, and doesn't alter taste so much.

The fundamental problem with UPF isn't the nutritional qualities of the food. It's the _process_ itself. UPF is basically derived from A/B testing food continuously to making it (a) highly consumable and (b) low cost. Repeat that process over decades and thousands of times and you get overconsumption of shit food.

It's kind of mentioned in the article, but I'm more comfortable cooking with lard than either tallow or oil based on the current evidence. Avoiding UPF is probably the most important factor though.

It followed the hippie trail, that was the motivation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippie_trail

Beans and pulses are mostly long chain carbohydrates, which are not a problem.

Protein may be associated with satiety, but so is fibre, of which beef has none.

They could reason about the Pythagorean theorem in 2000 BC. It's not a surprise they could figure out when the sun set in 2800 BC.

For what it's worth, there are AdSense interstitial ads on the site, so you probably got duped by one of those ads.

> Also also remember, D2 is a vitamin, D3 is a hormone.

As a naive person, what's the consequence of this?

Keeping out communists from a state broadcaster at the height of the Cold War sounds sensible.

Having 8 governments in 9 years probably didn't help

The impact on trade is almost entirely in goods and the UK is >80% services. Services is basically unaffected by Brexit. (https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/BRIE/2025/7657...)

Hits on GDP aren't felt equally across the population.

> Fewer workers in UK etc.

You mean fewer European workers. The UK has far more workers today since the post-Covid migration wave.
