The management team had also failed to report the deaths appropriately. It meant the wider NHS system could not spot the high fatality rates. The board of the hospital trust was also unaware of the deaths until July 2016.
This is devastating. Monitoring systems were set up after Harold Shipman, to make sure that such clear signals of something untoward would not be missed in future. Hospital management appear to have subverted those systems to protect their own reputations.
The Metropolitan police has won its battle to stop attending most of the mental health calls it receives after a tense behind-the-scenes row with the health service, the Guardian has learned....
This is obviously right but the Met has just cut (what it says is) 7% of its workload and handed it to a dangerously underfunded NHS without any funding attached.
STS (Secure Time Seeding) uses server time from SSL handshakes, which is fine when talking to other Microsoft servers, but other implementations put random data in that field to prevent fingerprinting.
The media are getting a bit hung up on this. Trump’s state of mind is entirely irrelevant. His actions are not.
They’re not being prosecuted for stating that they believe fraud happened (or was happening). They’re perfectly entitled to say that whether they truly believe it or not. What they’re not entitled to do is bypass the courts, threaten officials, fraudulently access voting machines, fraudulently put forward fake electors, and so on. Stone is planning some of the illegal actions taken after the election here. This video is one of many pieces of evidence of an active conspiracy to subvert the election.
No idea. It is a kind of defamation but I think you’d struggle to prove it. You could, however, get shedloads of free publicity by banging on about it for clickbait.
Ryanair will ship a physical gift card to your doorstep free of charge if it starts from 100 €, but ask 2 € for a virtual one that is sent via e-mail....
t’s also possible that their transaction fees are slightly higher for fully-digital goods (the emailed code) vs physical (the actual gift card through the mail).
How on earth is that possible? If an email cost more than printing a certificate and paying postage, there would be a lot less email flying around.
I mean, don’t get me wrong. I’d love to get less email. But it is not true.
More information is alway s useful. But it’s pretty obviously quicker to build because it only needs to handle 40% of the liquid and it’s not on a mountain.
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. They’re doing it and there’s an outside chance that they’ve thought it through properly (and a good chance that they have not, of course).
Green hydrogen is used to store renewable electricity that cannot feasibly be stored any other way. There are some small Scottish islands producing so much wind power that the UK national grid cannot take it all. There are no battery packs or hydroelectric facilities that can store it. [So they’ve been producing hydrogen instead.]((bbc.com/…/20190327-the-tiny-islands-leading-the-w…)
It might not be the best solution anyone could ever wish for. But it is the only currently available solution for some storage problems and for a lot of heavy transport. And a better solution for cars than batteries. If you could wave a wand and abolish private vehicles, you should do so. But you can’t. You can make electric vehicles a lot lighter and a lot less polluting while you work on getting rid of them in this real world that we live in.
Fuelling time in real world situations favours the vehicle that is sitting at 80-100% full every morning over the one you have to visit a fuelling station for.
Not unless the batteries have enough capacity to last all day. And hydrogen refuelling stations are being built at bus depots because obviously they are. Do you imagine carbon-fuel busses head to their local filling station when they run low?
And what were the dominant terrestrial species at said time? Would there even be any? I have zero idea of what’s the expected survival rate of an iPhone in the fossil record, but I like to imagine a giant sloth stepped on one once and we are none the wiser....
If they dropped just one piece of future tech, the chances of any archaeologist ever finding it is infinitesimally small even if it could survive indefinitely. They haven’t dug up every inch of the earth’s surface. The stuff they find is the stuff that was common enough for them to have a decent chance of finding it.
Maybe read it again, in context, and decide if there are equal rights to initiate that particular interaction (no matter what the genders or sexualities involved are).
Then have a stern word with yourself about being so incredibly defensive that you end up portraying yourself as a sex pest.
It’s not intelligence at all. It does not understand what you ask it or what it tells you. It can string words together in a plausible sounding order. It cannot think.
