@sallonsax Can’t stand Harwood, but this isn’t it. The issue isn’t that the NHS has no data scientists; it’s that NHS data sits in fragmented systems that don’t interoperate well. Palantir/FDP is mainly a platform for connecting and operationalising that data. Supplier choice is separate.
@Woges74@Steven_Swinford True, but that’s not the issue. The issue with the triple lock is it ratchets costs up unpredictably, making long-term budgeting harder and squeezing fiscal room for everything else. State pensions can be comparatively low AND the triple lock can still be a bad uprating mechanism
@jakebackpack I think generally, there is slightly more choice. But different categories of things have more variety in different countries. Examples: wider variety of Indian spices in UK supermarkets; wider variety of tomato sauces in US supermarkets.
@BernoulliDefect@J_Elliott94 How much do you think 24-hour care workers are a week? Because that would be what’s needed to replace the family members they move away from, who provide the necessary (and free) care that would otherwise be subsidized by your taxes. If that’s how you want to look at it.
@hydro_capital@BernoulliDefect About 55–65% of full-time employee jobs in CAZ10 pay below what is needed to afford a market-rate studio apartment on a single salary. Homes managed by local authorities plus housing associations were about 30% of homes in CAZ10; 20% of new social housing is at 80% market rate.
@raweceek_@moorehn It is very strong in Heathrow. Wouldn’t say it’s cleaning supplies. It’s a soapy scent, with a hint of a leather note. More like Fairy laundry powder and imperial leather soap.
I wish i could casually explain that kpop at its peak used to be for freaks and weirdos and it mixed jpop’s anthemic sound w/ synths from western 80s pop and occasionally orchestral strings and it was once uniquely a product of the nation’s zeitgeist during the 2010s
@2024dion I think people underestimate how many of these groups involved gambling. Church bingo. Uno games. Poker. People show up when they can win money. Small-scale gambling keeps communities alive.
@mcrandomfaces@JillFilipovic They have other infographics that go into more detail. My favorite is the aromatics one; gives a good overview of flavor bases you can build any dish off of.
@mcrandomfaces@JillFilipovic This is a good list. I recommend Cook Smarts for anyone who is a beginner. They have good infographics and simple guides to cooking.
@Hyperexcellence@mmjukic Yeah, I know the Cartesian/dualism frame, that’s not the issue. The issue is he’s mixing multiple distinct claims into one argument, but he never pins the terms down enough for the therefores to follow.
@s8mb I don’t agree. From my experience, traffic moves much slower in the US because of road design, not stops. Stops may be farther apart in Europe, but you can also expect to arrive much faster given the same distance. Without more stops, the commute time just wouldn’t be worth it.
@Recipe4Groo@ningvinyl Actually Kpop exploded during the pandemic. 20-21 was lit a record-breaking year for K-Pop. There was a 44.8% increase in revenue and physical album sales rose ~37% in 2021.
