    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 amo…

    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} pro…

    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 a…

    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 …

    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…

    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 t…

    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 yo…

    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] c…

    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…

    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 p…

    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 wa…

    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 c…

    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 peopl…

    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 yea…

    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 f…

    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. H…

    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 i…
