Biometric data in UK passports is nothing more than the digital storage of the information in your passport (name, age, passport number, facial photo). The UK government does not collect any additional data
As an aside, I always find it amusing that as a British person that have visited both the US and the Schengen area since the new entry/exit system. Both the US and EU have taken my biometric information (i.e fingerprints) but the UK government has not.
What a brilliantly depressing graphic
freedom of movement to the EU (that the British hated so much)
A generalisation that only applied to, at most, 52% of the voting British public
I played the Map mode and got the same page several times, and then the game ended with half my "life" left. It was really fun but I passed a lot of rounds just on memory
There were reasons, they just weren't good ones
Interestingly I just got what seems to be a complete and coherent answer from GPT-5 mini. No refusal, many steps given
Free to US citizens would be a better policy, the state investing in its own people.
The idea (in theory being the key word) is by injecting into the stratosphere minimises acid rain production and maximises cooling requiring less SO2
In this context, its not so much the prejudice but the exploitation of such students and the devaluation of the degree as a result.
The most challenging axis in my opinion is the roll axis of Super Heavy, if there is a roll angle error, the pins could not sit properly on the chopsticks and the whole booster slides off.
We're not good at building nuclear power stations, partly because we haven't the skilled workforce to do so.
A lot of the (finanical and time) investment for Hinkley Point C has been certifying and upskilling the workforce.
Sizewell C is projected to be a much smoother and 'cheaper' operation, as it is a near clone of HPC. And the timing means the workforce will just transfer over to the new site.
In the North East of England, theres a point where these houses aren't even worthwhile purchasing to rennovate. Houses can be purchases easily for £60k but require at least that to modernize. But while you've done well to purchase a house for £120k, it doesn't reflect in the local market.
The solution would be to knock the house down and build a modern one on the reclaimed land. But you've just bought a mid-terrace, so that's out of the question.
I'd say 1/3rd is a rather large chunk of an SSDs TBW if its just for hibernating. In practice, for reasons you outlined, it would be a smaller amount but I would only find 1-2% tolerable.
Being able to track a bus via GPS works well like this. It doens't matter if the bus is 20 minutes late, if you can check that the bus is 4 minutes away.
A bit like usnig the metro. You don't know the schedule, you just know the realative time to the next train
I guess the reality is, as a passenger, you either wait several minutes on the bus at a stop mid-route. Or you wait much longer at a bus stop in a crowd waiting for four buses to show up.
99 years or 999 years. AKA a leasehold
Nothing wrong with paywalled content, given its still accessible. Especially in this case where several archive links have been provided
I'd learn. My capabilities aren't static with time
I imagine having stereo video would also help generate a depth map from disparity?
Given it is on the border of Europe, geography alone is a sufficient answer.
While not as much skin, we sadly have more skin in this game as I'd wish
The election of the next President will have a large effect on the security of Europe with respect to both Russia and Israel
If your video source is of a static scene that the camera is moving through. You could try poly.cam
Upload you video directly to the website for Gaussian splat processing
Buy an microSD card from Amazon, use the packaging the microSD card originally came in [1] - it is a solved problem.
Plenty of scope to add your own branding
Does anyone know if these chemical are removed via distillation processes? Not that I plan on distilling my own tap water, but just curious how "pure" distilled water can be
Off topic, but I like this blog style/layout. I can imagine it isn't everyones taste, but it just works for me
Prior to it all, the majority of my Reddit use was on mobile.
So browsing Reddit on mobile via a desktop website is clunky enough to have the same effect as above
This has reminded me how much my Reddit usage has dropped off a cliff after the third-party apps debacle.
At first, it was as a futile protest, but then the inevitable addiction hunger kicked in. But this time, I had no choice to use the offical Reddit app.
The sluggishness of that app added enough latency, that my Reddit consumption is now non-existent
Absolute worst case, Starship delivers a couple of Dragon capsules to LEO for crew transfer and return
Conversely, in the UK we don't have ID cards, but have a fair bit more surveillance
