I suspect you're confusing money and cash - they're two distinct things. I would be incredibly to learn that my bank had anywhere near the amount of cash stored compared to the amount of money deposited there. Cash has storage costs and pays a 0% return where deposits with a central bank have historically paid higher than that. (This isn't universally true.)

I would assume that the translator could provide a translation along the lines of:

  ($count -> Jana ($gender -> {addedHis|addedHer}) {n} {apples|apple}) ($gender -> to {his|her} profile)

If you're writing translation code then you're (probably) doing it wrong.

If your clients are happy to only ever have a product in one language which will never have to deal with anything outside the 7bit ascii range then ignoring the complexity required to do it is (probably) fine.

As soon as you hit some requirement which violates the above if you haven't considered how this might affect you you're likely in for some horrible problems when suddenly you need to handle these things.

Think about how often the english documentation coming with cheap products from china is mocked - do you really want your professional output to be treated in the same regard?

Council tax on the most expensive property (band H) in kensington and chelsea is £2,246.14 in 2018/2019. Westminster would be £1421.00.

Council tax for my band C property in south gloucester was around £1700, with the highest (band H) in the area being around £3800.

All numbers yearly.

To address the last point - if your neighbour can't afford to move because the rent is too high elsewhere then under a non-rent controlled system would the landlord not have raised her rent to a point she would be unable to pay it and would thus be forced to move elsewhere?

(I don't know enough to actually have an answer to this.)

The 50m is a slightly misleading point (it includes everyone too young to vote, whatever their viewpoint) but there's a much stronger case to take into account the perspective of the 16m people who voted against this car crash.

To declare that because a poorly defined proposition sold with untruth and misdirection won out in a vote means that we can't reflect on what is now known is absurd.

If you talk to _your_ lawyer about your issue the lawyer can't go and tell anyone else, nor can that discussion be raised as part of a legal process against you. Not the case if you post it to a public forum.

Is posting on a public forum to request legal advice from people with no protection whatsoever really considered a good idea?

I suspect that the fact there's a twitter account[1] collecting the weird and wonderful posts from there doesn't weigh in it's favour.

Huh, today I learnt.

I was curious so I looked at the identifiable image[1] in the article in google maps[2] and it seems that only some of the crossings have these notes - notably the one way street crossing has look left/right on the respective sides of the road and the crossing with the island has them on both lanes, but the crossing over the two way street has nothing. I can't say I've ever actually noticed these (which may be because they're less common outside London or because I just don't pay close enough attention to the floor at my feet when walking).

I'm guessing this is on a one way road? With traffic driving on the left you'd normally want to look right to check you're not stepping into oncoming traffic (although you should probably check both ways on a normal zebra crossing as you'll be crossing traffic in both directions).

But without there being a general audience for those things the cost is generally too high.

The example which springs to mind is the pre-peeled fruit a number of years ago which was similarly dismissed for having a harmful environmental impact, but if you've lost motor function in your hands it means you can eat a wider variety of foods.

Just because you don't see the need for something doesn't mean the need isn't there.

I've said it here before, but these services are a lifesaver for some.

It might seem lazy to someone in full health, but sometimes those small things make all the difference.

In some cases offering money _is_ the best way to offer support. When goods are donated they're often not what's actually needed, or not in the proportions required. Planet Money covered this in an episode: https://www.npr.org/2015/11/27/457565052/food-banks-pickle-g... (transcript rather than episode link). This relates to food banks, but it also affects other organizations: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/03/aid-workers-at... .

If you can't offer that support then I suspect that spreading the word about these projects is the next best thing.

Edited to add additional links, tidy up language.

As someone who has actually interacted with leave voters it most certainly didn't mean that for everyone. Taking such an extreme position and then claiming that it's what the people voted for is farcical.

I came here to say almost the exact same thing. From age ~10 onwards, I would walk to school with my younger sibling in order to get to school for 0850. When I moved schools in year 7, I left slightly earlier to accommodate the change in distance as the school started at the same time, and my sibling walked alone (they were then ~10). My parents went to work whenever they needed to.

I could alternatively have taken a (public transport) bus, but the fare would have come out of my pocket (i.e. out of the small monthly allowance I was given to spend on whatever I chose).

Whilst it's likely that from a historical perspective unions (or other collective action) fought for rights for workers, in many (most?) modern societies there is now legal basis for them.

I have found myself in the same position as the parent as a non-US resident who ended up in discussions where the assumptions made by those from the US and those not from the US about the rights of workers are so wildly different it stalls the conversation.

It's worth noting that Fritz Haber is also credited with the development of chemical warfare, being one of the leaders in the deployment of chlorine gas during the 1st world war. His life is an interesting read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_Haber

He was reported on by Radiolab in an episode about the good and bad that people do: https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/180092-the-bad-show/

I'm certainly guilty of getting partway through books and never returning, but I don't know that if I'd jumped into the data first I would have been so engrossed.

(Obviously this is entirely a personal perspective.)

I read this over christmas and was completely engrossed (to the extent of being borderline antisocial).

I can certainly understand how you might find it disheartening and depressing, but I don't know I could quite see bored. The retelling of the situations was captivating, and the descriptions of how the system fails those most in need was harrowing at times. I've been recommending it to anyone who will listen.

Consider: - A landlord holding incorrect data on rental payments. - A company holding personal financial data.

In both of these cases if the information is misused it has consequences for the individual, and (relatively) higher cost for the individual on minimum wage.

In the former, this can affect your future ability to find housing. This potentially leads to extraordinary stress.

In the latter the consequences again affect both wealthy and poor, but the person living hand to mouth faces much more serious consequences if their wages are adminstratively docked to pay for costs fraudulently registered in their name. Further, they're unlikely to be able to pay an expert to resolve this or take time out of work to do this themselves.

This might seem fair to the person incurring the direct cost of the response, but is markedly unfair to the person earning minimum wage who is concerned about the handling of their personal data.

The law needs to be applicable to everyone, and imposing high costs is generally considered to do the opposite: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40727400

As a pedestrian in a major city in the UK I see drivers jump red lights / not stopping at mandatory pedestrian crossings (or worse, not stopping when the crossing is currently in use).

I also see cyclists performing similiarly unlawful acts.

The difference from my perspective is one of those groups is totally isolated from the outside world in a 1 ton metal box. Neither is in the right, but (from experience of both) I'd much rather be hit by a cyclist.

A side point of this is it's pretty difficult for a cyclist to not notice they've hit someone and drive away, as we see fairly regularly with drivers:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/12/11/four-drivers-ran... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-essex-41174459/cctv-... http://metro.co.uk/2018/02/12/driver-leaves-pedestrian-dead-...

I personally find a similar service in the UK an absolute lifesaver.

Both myself and my partner have struggled with depression for a number of years. Cooking (and eating freshly cooked food) is one of the few things I can rely to lift my mood.

Having to work out what I want to cook on the way home, figuring out whether I have ingredients, go to a shop to obtain them if not are things I can reliably _not_ do. If I hit this point we end up eating ready meals or takeaway.

I'd be the first to admit it's an expensive service, but honestly the extra capacity I gain from using it is absolutely worthwhile.

Is this really surprising? I'm (still) more surprised when I click on an article with crypto in the title and it's not about cryptography. (There may be some underlying bias as to the links I see/am sent.)

So you're suggesting that because they have the ability to buy additional housing and charge people to use it, someone else should bear the risk?

If one douche bag can harp on without being challenged on this?

Audiobooks are expensive to produce, and generally have a smaller market than written copy (whether ebook or dead-tree).

I know at least one author has written about this: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2015/06/cmap-why...

The trains from Paddington through Bristol have this type of door. I've never found them notably awkward - The main issue I see is people using them with the wrong hand (as the man in the photograph is doing) as your arm doesn't bend the way it needs to.
