Except for your HN account, unfortunately.

It's not just France - the way that the NYT treats the UK has become a running joke e.g: https://londonist.com/london/food-and-drink/until-recently-l... https://unherd.com/2020/01/…

Why wouldn't they cut the blade up in situ for transportation at the end of its working life? Seems better than having huge convoys to take them away for recycling.

I built an Alexa skill that sits in front of the local council's website (South Worcestershire, UK) and tells me which set of bins go out this week. Have already probably saved mys…

Well, there are very few projects where someone can make a real difference from day 2 or 3. But given that there are numerous permie developers who want either to be a) Product Own…

You have completely misunderstood the UK market - note that the OP talked about London. Perhaps as a way to get past the recruiting problem, UK corporates pay a premium for exerien…

In case anyone else is confused, the term "en banc" refers to a case which is heard before all the judges on the bench for that court, rather than just one. En banc hearings are ge…

I suspect that this is a question of energy. At high energies, it's difficult/impossible to stop a particle, so you place a row of scintillators out, bend the charged particle path…

If you could find some undiscovered pattern in cosmic rays distributions, you'd be discovering something much more interesting than where to site your datacenter. If you could expl…

This won't work because all particle detectors are noisy. Pretty much all tracking detectors need to use multiple coincidences to determine that a muon has indeed passed by. Indivi…

Poverty is an extremely loaded term - a child in poverty is defined as a child living in a household with less than 60% of the national average income - it has no connection to spe…

> That's been the theory behind decades of such experiments in many countries. Worked out great, we all can see how the money keep s"trickling down". Do you have an example? I don'…

> Can Britain really afford to cut taxes ? It has already cut services to the bone, while running a large twin deficit. Britain has absolutely not cut services to the bone - that c…

Books, religion, university research, fashion trends and charities. Wars, lynch mobs, cartoons, traditions, village fetes, school plays, professional plays, business strategies and…

Germany, Denmark and the UK outside of London too, actually.

A reasonable number of my friends did particle physics PhDs in the States. None of them had their housing subsidised and one got very sick and had to sell her car to pay for her me…

There's a certain amount of one-upsmanship, and gotta-catch-'em-all to travel discussions. I also find it very difficult to talk about things without coming across as competitive. …

That's funny because I had the same feeling originally about there being no normal. But, when I traveled more, I came to a completely different conclusion. Maybe you will too? I've…

As a Brit who lived in Germany for a while, a lot of Brits and Germans will fill each other's glasses before their own when sharing wine or water. Can't say anything about American…

I believe that CINT started life as a tool for medical device development. I count that tool as one of the main reasons that physicists-by-training find 'proper' C++ so difficult t…
