Kenny Dalglish for Liverpool too, winning the double whilst a player-manager.

Nice, mine is 5082

I'd have thought an OAuth flow to a government run ID system, to create an account you first must verify your age by redirecting to the ID provider logging in via FaceID/Fingerprint to verify it's you and then you are redirected back to the original site with a verification code.

Admittedly on paper that means the Gov system would know which sites you were approved for, not logging that would require legislation to not store these logs.

A local beer in a bar will normally be around 60k IDR so $3-4, wine is more expensive generally in SEA you'll normally pay around 90-100k IDR per glass.

The population of London at the last census was still 60% British born. The difference between 2000 is that the figure was 60% white British.

He's not saying London doesn't have enough British people, he's saying it doesn't have enough white people in it.

That and saying it was heartwarming to see a Tommy Robinson march who represents the most extreme fringe of British right wing politics.

If anyone is interested Gruf Rhys (from Super Furry Animals) made a film, Separado!, where he tried to track down his Welsh family that migrated to Patagonia.

I believe the Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand ones are linked too, I noticed last time I went over to Malaysia that they could accept the Singapore PayNow payments too.

I think Singapore has a pretty good experience worked out now, the immigration is automated just with an iris scan.

Additionally moving security to the gate rather than having a single security point for all flights also makes the wait here shorter and more importantly predictable.

If I'm just taking a cabin bag I always arrive 35-40 minutes before a flight and have had no trouble with time, normally enough time to grab a coffee too before boarding.

Out of interest, from a US point of view since I'm not there, is this going to end up as a relatively damp squib in the very near future now we have access to 5G and all the competition there.

Last year I was able to abandon completely my broadband provider and now have two sims, one for a home router and one for a mobile router with pretty much unlimited data.

There is so much competition in the 5G mobile space that the ability of these older closed market providers over cable/fiber is surely going to be a thing of the past very soon and thus the need to enforce legal neutrality will fade?

This is awesome, thanks for the link.

variables and constants too

People bring the value that they generate for an economy. Once they can be replaced with AI/Robots then that labour can be reallocated further up the value chain which in turn makes our economies and culture richer and more productive.

Imagine if we were all working 18 hour subsistence farming jobs now just to survive, it's ridiculous to argue that eschewing automation for anything is detrimental, it only serves to enhance society and make it more productive.

Let's put this in context, Reddit has somewhere in the region of 1.2 Billion users a month and supposedly earn somewhere in the region of $350Million a year in advertising revenue. This is a very good business and something that could easily be profitable.

The issue is they took in VC investment at a $10Billion+ valuation and for that $350M is not enough they need to probably triple it to get somewhere close to that valuation.

So let's not confuse on paper profitability with desired profitability at current VC valuation.

mainly we're moving to the fediverse sites, for most people it's one of Lemmy, Kbin or beehaw and a lot of communities have grown to be really substantial over the last few days.

2000 employees at an average cost of 200k / year is a $400m a year burn rate.

If they're not breaking even with revenue then that money starts to run out quite quickly.

Always remember Ed Whitlock, he didn't start running till he was passed 40 and he was still running sub-3 hour marathons at 69 years old.

You have plenty of time, I've trained with lots of people that started late and were still running impressive times.

Echoing the other advice, good shoes, get fitted for the first pair at a running shop that analyses you first.

Secondly don't fall into the trap of thinking that you can jump back into running 8km or so daily, you need to build yourself up slowly first, use an easier program like couch to 10k after which you should be in good enough shape to start increasing frequency of runs.

While you're in this phase concentrate on easy paced runs, so hopefully the lungs shouldn't be an issue, you should run at a pace where you can hold a conversation without struggling for breath.

When you see good language use in writing it communicates its own sense of quality. This differentiates low-value sources where some people communicate without an appreciation of the minutiae of the language.

Now for forum comments or low-value writing it's not an issue, but you can argue that having someone who is experienced with using a style guide and communicating consistently adds some authoritativeness to the publications.

In the case of Wikipedia that is a valid thing to aim for.

The correct way to do this in most style guides is to add (sic) to the quote which means you're aware of the incorrect use but are quoting directly.

Is this really the case though? All shareholders are pushing for higher returns because of inflation, it's not an indication of collusion, it's an indication that the market conditions have changed.

As I said on the flip side the fact that all workers are pushing for higher salaries isn't a reflection of collusion between different sets of workers, it's just a reflection of the new economic conditions on the ground.

Don't forget supply and demand works on the capital side of the equation too, higher inflation means shareholders push for higher profits in the same way that high inflation causes workers to push for higher wages.

There's increasing supply of investments at higher rate of return, bond yields are close to 4% which means riskier investments need to pay more to compete.

Yes the Virgin trains that do the Manchester to London route all have buffet carriages where you can buy beers and wines, they have a few standing tables too so you can even stop and drink in the buffet carriage or return to your seat.

But obviously not in the same league as this pub carriage.

I think it's to do with these new 'Signals' they seem to be building profiles of interest based on services.

There are a few instances where using == is desirable, for instance it allows you to compare two instances of an object and returns true if the properties are the same.

In this case === will always return false since it checks if the two instances are the same object.

Don't forget to multiply by 12 for yearly revenue.

There is still even at current levels something like 1 pub for every 1,600 residents in the country.

Not any more, the majority are owned by the brewery groups and leased to the landlords.

If you see an independent pub in the UK it will be labelled as a 'Free House' that means it is independent of a brewery and can sell any beers it likes.

There does need to be a little nuance though, since the vast majority of pub owners are actually on a wet lease then the pub itself doesn't get all of the margin, the breweries normally take 20-25% of that margin.

So an example from a recent wholesale catalogue, 1 30L keg which you can probably sell 58 pints out of will cost around £150 so that gets your cost price of around £2.58 / plus VAT and beer duty and you're up to cost price of over £3.00 / pint

So margins are variable but as you can see if you want to sell at around the average price around the country which is £4 / pint then you're not talking about a massive margin.

The reason why food is a popular option for bar owners is that the breweries don't take any of the margin so the owner takes all the profit from food sales, plus in many ways, the food is extra income from people that would be taking up the space to drink too.
