I mean, you can very easily google and see there is scientific consensus that teenagers require more than 8hrs of sleep, with 9 or 10 being optimal although there will always be outliers.

the 7-8 you reference is for adults 25yrs+. As a general rule humans require less sleep the older they get.

What was the overall outcome, did they withdraw?

They went to prison over console chips so I don't think anyone will be rushing to be sued by HP.

This is just the CCP system, but privatised (worse).

Law enforcement won't be happy until every last one of us is under 24h surveillance at all times.

I've played plenty of games on M1 that are graphically more impressive and have higher base requirements than Civ 6.

Seems that others have pointed out that Civ is more CPU bound than GPU so I don't know if that's something that could be optimised without completely changing the mechanics of the game or if Civ is just an unoptimised beast but then again the M1 is way above the minimum required spec for Civ 6 so i don't think it's some unfeasible concept.

No problem. I thought I was reading an onion article about the traffic lights.

Truly seems like they desperately don't want to enact any social or 'left' policies so they're willing to go balls to the walls with anything else they can think of.

While I understand your point that nut milk chemically isn't at all related to animal milk, I don't think that's the association that comes to mind when using a product. The association is in it's use. By calling nut or oat milk, 'milk', you're making it clear to the consumer what it should be / can be used for, which is a substitute for animal milk.

By removing the word milk, all you have achieved is confusing the consumer as to what it can be used for. Can I put it on cereal, is it safe to cook with, can it go in coffee, etc, etc.

There isn't a consumer alive who thinks almond milk came from an animal. This is obviously nothing more than industry lobbying gone wild.

I don't disagree with your assessment and if anything it really opens the door for someone else to step in and offer these tools because if Skyrim, Minecraft, Gary's mod etc have shown us anything it's that these tools can create vast communities that will keep growing and supporting your work and any future releases. Just a shame to see so many companies prioritise profits over gameplay / replayability and community these days.

Everybody already knows that nut milk is different to cow milk. Calling it nut juice isn't going to to change the contents of the bottle or who would buy it.

What would you predict are the amount of people total who bought almond milk instead of semi-skimmed?

i don't disagree with you, but if you're already terminally online whats the difference.

The internet and social media has exacerbated a societal problem that has always existed, so now we have the problem why not make it more meaningful and less depressing.

I'm not completely ready to rule out a Labour win next election but Starmer just isn't inspiring. And he's endlessly damaging his own reputation by cancelling a new pledge every week. How can anyone believe a word he says anymore. Hell, he's been given a free pass by the media for the most part and he's still messing it up.

I don't disagree a staged license for first time drivers might not be a bad idea but the restrictions are too severe and i don't think age should play any factor, it's everyone or no one.

And if they're going to introduce restrictions of young drivers then at the same time there should be an introduction of mandatory retests at 50-60 years of age to prove road worthiness and update road knowledge.

"Veggie discs" gave me a chuckle.

As a vegetarian I don't actually care for meat substitutes anyway, I call them veggie junk food since most of them contain dubious amounts of actual vegetables but I just don't see consumers being confused or hurt by calling veggie burgers, burgers.

Just pointless lobbying in a vein attempt to turn people away from switching from meat.

“We’ll soon be unveiling an app that will allow people to log the household chores that different members of the family perform so we can see how many hours of work we each spend on housework and thus reorder the time we spend doing that housework.”

On a person note, I feel like if you're in a relationship where this hasn't already being communicated and agreed upon then I'm not convinced a mobile app is going to be the big game changer women think. This could potentially backfire on the women and cause arguments and resentment since it seems like the intent of the politician and the apps creation is to shame men into doing something that they would already be doing if they cared or wanted / were able to do.

I wonder if the app be focused on domestic jobs traditionally carried out by the wife, such as vacuuming, dusting, laundry, ironing etc. Or will it also take into account repairs and maintenance work traditionally carried out by the husband.

Are you truly not able to comprehend the distinction? Genuine question.

This. While not me personally, there is obviously a market (Japan comes to mind) for virtual, non-human based interactions and relationships.

While it seems pretty clear to me subjectively that removing human interaction from your life has a negative effect it's still desired by some and they're entitled to that.

I mean, Europe is dominated by US corporations. Every high street in Europe has multiples of US owned businesses so why shouldn't we return the favour.

The US is still the worlds largest economy, this shouldn't really be a new idea.

"The draft suggested plant-based products should even be prohibited from saying they are ‘not milk’ – or describing themselves as ‘alternatives’ to dairy products."

The UK speed running it's way to become the silliest little land.

Probably this will all get watered down during debate but the fact this and the recent traffic proposals are even being suggested shows the current regime is at a dead end and have nothing better to do unless they start moving to the political centre or god forbid do something popular like closing tax loopholes or legislating markets that are actually scamming consumers like supplements.

"The claimed breakthrough, which has yet to be formally reviewed by independent researchers".

I remember seeing articles about peoples inability to afford or purchase naloxone so unless this is significantly cheaper I don't see how this improves the situation. It doesn't strike me as a breakthrough when these treatments have been around for decades (60 years!) but people still just can't get their hands on them.

The minimum requirements for Civ 6 are far below the capability of the M1 series macbooks so I don't know why you'd think so.

Level editing tools are created to build the levels by the devs. They just don't want to give them to players because they want to sell you additional content.

Talking specifically about the usual suspects but hell, even some indie games are doing it now, in indie games it seems more popular to release a new game entirely which is basically 1.0 with new maps but thankfully there are tons of passion projects that get new content for years and years who really deserve more support.

Kind of have to agree with this sentiment. The UN is toothless and while the idea was good, I believe it has failed in practice. That isn't to say we should just scrap the whole thing as there really isn't an alternative, even though I believe it will eventually be abandoned.

It does seem like the golden age of international co-operation is at an end and more and more countries are becoming insular, entering conflict or creating factions with specific neighbours.

Isn't this kind of exactly what the EU is showing us, that a global power isn't needed if countries actually set requirements and regulations. There has been a lack of desire from law makers worldwide to protect consumer data even though it's very obvious that it should be a fundamental right to control who gets to know your personal information and worse, whether they can sell it.

What I believe is happening here is the EU is setting a new standard that the US and UK and others will have to follow if they want to do business in the EU, unless they invest millions in infrastructure and staff.

I believe the same happens in the US, one state such as California will make progressive law changes that force companies to just apply the same standards across other states as it's less legal and regulatory burden, so effectively one state can actually change the system for everyone, no global super government required.

> reflect back on the machine assisted admissions model for the UK medical schools which entrenched "men get a +2 boost, women -2" enrollment because of how they modelled "do it like now"

Would you happen to have any further reading on this please, as a Brit this somehow passed me by without me ever hearing about it, sounds fascinating.

Actually Elon gifted thousands of blue ticks to any accounts that had over 1M followers and other notable accounts in order to obfuscate who paid for their tick and who did not.

The furniture itself is 60's-70's American decor, the colours are Wes Anderson and the camera angle and room layouts are IKEA catalogue. Pretty interesting output and I actually dig the vibe even if it's not really that close to any real life IKEA furniture design.

Depends on what metrics you are using. Compatibility, APIs, Performance, Firefox is objectively worse than Chrome on all aspects.

I like Mozilla as a company and I still use Firefox over Chrome knowing that it is objectively a worse browser and experience because I dislike Google and their business practices and i support businesses that I believe in. I am very much against the monopoly Google has over the web space and their positioning to dictate future web standards that will probably benefit their ad revenue over user experience.
