What’s the rate of failure on your CV system? How often is it going to decide a bird flying around is a car on the runway? How much will it cost to develop and implement when adsb already exists and works and is cheap? How much effort will it take to implement that could instead be spent making sure transponders are installed on ground vehicles?

You think I can remember to set that?! Well look at you, miss functional adult!

That’s having wet laundry sit for most of the day, which the person above already said they didn’t want to do.

I do realise that yes.

Maybe you need to accept our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, into your heart, to cleanse such sinful thinking!

(j/k if it’s not obvious)

I don’t know about this effort but I believe the California bill has specific clauses to tie the California redistricting to unfair gerrymandering elsewhere.

Explicit, limited, linked retaliation, not just blind “we gotta win any way any how” is exactly how to win practically without compromising on principles.

Hmm, fair enough but I would say latex gloves and latex condoms are equally prominent (the latter obviously not helpful as far as avoiding dodgy results on Google)

That’s true but it’s also not really worth very much.

I’m sorry what? What about:

• Shoes
• Gloves
• Tyres
• Elastic bands
• Balloons

All of these are made (partly) from natural (i.e. latex) rubber.

Anyone who, at this point, actually wants a no-confidence vote and a change of PM is a bit unhinged.

If Starmer lied to parliament (and the public) then he needs to go, but that would be an extremely unfortunate situation given what’s happening in the world. The idea that a rogue foreign office should have that fairly dire consequence is not sane.

I know he’s unpopular, but such views are not serious IMO.

Don’t do that to me!

I’m tired, boss

Latex is just a kind of rubber, and a material produced by some plants used for making rubber. Sure, if you’re not careful when googling, you can get dodgy results with “latex” in the terms, but that seems to me to be of a different calibre.

Is this just a reference to The GIMP or are there other common apps with dodgy names? I’m struggling to think of any.

Also The GIMP is not named after a slur, don’t be ridiculous.

The story No 10 is telling is clear enough and answers the headline directly - the FO was trying to ensure Starmer didn’t know so he’d be able to say he didn’t know if it came out.

Fairly plausible but you have to wonder what No 10 said to make the FO think this was important enough to go through with it in spite of serious security concerns.

Aaaaaaaaaa

No, anti-reflective coatings are not matte. They work by producing destructive interference in a target band of wavelengths right at the surface of the coated material from front and rear reflections. Because the effect is wavelength specific, they tend to tint the colour of the reflection, as well, allowing you to tell when they’ve been applied.

Not really. It has to be enough brighter than the reflection that it’s not visually disturbing. And that criterion depends on what’s displayed: a high contrast image is much more robust than a bright single colour which is much more robust than a dark single colour.

Screens nowadays have anti-reflective coatings to make the brightness of a reflection far, far less than the actual light source if you looked directly at it.
