> The UK just elected a new prime minister, Andy Burnham

He wasn't elected by anybody. The country didn't get a say and he was unopposed in his party.

Because AI will end everybody's lifetimes, I think

There's a long tradition in the UK of comedy candidates, notably the Monster Raving Loony Party.

There's even some talk of a potential Loony-Bin alliance.

Beautiful video. It's very easy to see the parallels to our industry going through the AI revolution.

Why is it bad that one of the key components of plastic is fossil fuel? Isn't locking it up in plastic preferable to burning it?

If they are referring to the energy cost of manufacturing it, that's got nothing to do with the raw material being fossil fuels.

Yep, down from here too (in Israel).

Services too, not just the portal.

It would seem that the optimal solution to both maintain readability and not waste screen space would be to start counting the characters from after the indentation. Since indentation is stepped, you won't (often) be jumping massive horizontal distances.

HP laptops don't last 3 years these days. You're lucky to get past 1.

They haven't made anything good for years now.

Heard it in my head as soon as I saw the title on HN

Interesting that there's no word in English for this. There is one in Yiddish: fargin

Deleting Chrome on Android is difficult but you can go one better than disabling it.

  adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.chrome

It can still be put back, but you need a computer to do it

with interest?! Oy vey, not very Jewish at all!

So THAT'S how you exit it!

I never did figure it out.

Just because AI is new, it doesn't mean it's less valuable than the older things using up resources. AI is far more valuable than, say, television.

If the goal is to reduce overall usage, what to stop should be determined by value, not chronologically/LIFO.

If the government want to help (and the new government has shown a strange attraction to price interference), they could simply let schools choose their own holidays, as long as they have the right number of school days in the year.

It would be a bit harder for families with kids in different schools, but probably most schools would be _more or less_ the same, with just a bit more variation to spread it around a little bit.

Broadly, it's anything made from metal or glass that serves a food-related purpose, is multi-use, and comes in direct contact with food (or drink).

yep, that's what I meant

Jewish law requires some new utensils to be ritually immersed in water before use[1]. There are differences of opinion around electrical appliances, but I have successfully dunked toasters, cheese toasters, and many other small appliances, let them dry for a few days, and never had any issues.

In fact, had OP found this[2] article, they would have seen that

> Practice has demonstrated that immersion generally does not harm most equipment if allowed three days to dry out.

And the government website doesn't use it [1].

So hard to see in what sense it's "official".

It rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway.

seriously?

Zaka is the Israeli first responder organization that did a lot of the work on October 7.

wahnfrieden is apparently an October 7 denier and is annoyed that the BBC does think it happened.
