Try apps advertising cheap international calling. They often forward through local numbers on both ends. It worked when I needed to call a US toll free number from the UK.

In the USA the statistic I always heard was border encounters so whether to count students didn't come up. I've been wondering why different countries have different conventional stats used to reflect the so-called immigration problem - it seems like something you'd might have an interesting take on

Sign instructing walkers on how to walk in Pentlands Hills Training Area.

It's a few kilometers from an MOD training area though, hopefully they can set up over there next time.

I personally don't trust the Greens to declare communications equipment dangerous, they don't have a great track record.

What's that based on? Per Christie's 2023 Hotel Market Snapshot, Portugal has 113,000 rooms. Blackpool's not one of the cities in Christie's UK report, but they have London at 140,000, followed by Manchester at 20,000. I've never been to Blackpool, can it plausibly have London-level hotel figures?

FYI for search results (not instant answers), especially for less popular queries, DDG mostly just forwards results from Bing.

After Trump's win, Black women are rethinking their role as America's reliable political organizers Donald Trump's victory has dismayed many politically engaged Black women, and they're reassessing their enthusiasm for politics and organizing.

There were some relevant articles right after the 2024 election, if you didn't see this at the time you might find it interesting. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

In China they do things like requiring game companies to lock children out on school nights. I'm not sure how well it all works but it seems like there are options that can improve the situation.

Thanks, that's interesting.

You're right it's all technically public. That said it feels like something the public would feel differently about, like say the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

Is this your interpr of ofcom or have they actually suggested this?

Wait, ofcom wants us to use hacked *stolen data* to track private activities of users on other sites? That's crazy. Did they actually say that?

In America local government and charities operate free cooling centers during heat waves. Heat exposure builds up, resting and resetting your body for a few hours makes an enormous difference.

Email-based age estimation – you provide your email address, and technology analyses other online services where it has been used – such as banking or utility providers - to estimate your age.

Ofcom's vision of email based age verification is not at all what I expected from the name. I'd call that bank/utility based age verification via email. I don't see the banks setting that up unless the govt requires it. Also has privacy issues - banks can't just publish a list of customer emails.

I did this with k3s on a single node and after a month of tinkering (and leaning kubernetes for the first time) I spent the last year ignoring it and it just worked.

I like the all the state goes in a sqlite db.

We can all see it's a fake, only a British person would forget it was (formerly) the bill act. /s

There is a long history in the US of militias attempting this cunning plan. But I'm not sure it actually works.

The post seems to only be about very specific FPV drones, not drones in general. For example the bit about the limitations of unencrypted analog radio links.

Al Jazeera is alleging that the Israeli military censor is suppressing reporting of hits on IDF sites. Would it be feasible to apply this methodology in Israel?

What about Yemen?

There's no coating so if you accidentally get something really burned you can scrape it off with a metal spatula or some steel wool.

Can recommend the IKEA cheapo aluminum pan. It's not nonstick but it's nonsticky enough for most things.

To clean it I put it back on the stove with a little water at the bottom and bring it to a boil. Then it's easy to clean with a sponge.

Bloomberg published an interesting tangentially related article about the EDGAR hack(s) a few days ago

I did feel slightly stupid when I realized that it's always more expensive to buy from their website though.

If I order maps from a reseller that turns around and sends their own order to OS the maps are maybe 30% cheaper

Outdooractive sells an app with OS and Harvey maps for less than the OS app

The Ordnance Survey is overall such an impressive organization. Even though they have to self-fund they still release significant open even when it can substitute for paid data. And they give anyone £1,000/month in free API credits so you can use their premium data for personal projects.

WCK is a great org, but no they aren't.

"With no aid allowed into Gaza, WCK is doing everything we can to support Palestinian families. Water is the one thing we’re still able to provide—so we’re delivering it daily to people in need because every drop counts."

Has anyone made a bunch of new accounts with different names, locations, phone prices, ect and validated that you get a consistent experience?

It's so interesting. I imagine Europeans said similar things about the crazy American tradition of putting tomatoes on food five hundred or so years ago.

I did this with a desktop computer in it's original box.

I've heard it's handled more roughly than air freight fwiw.

I waterproofed by putting a plastic bag over the contents in case it sat on the tarmac for a while.

By the gimmicked definition people are proposing Starmer use Biden did in fact lower net immigration!
