It says "nhs.uk" is an invalid domain. Is it restricted to just certain TLDs?

No, you'll max pay the same. May pay less.

They‘ve stated clearly that you pay the same. Its just calculating stuff differently that you can now remove a dedicated machine mid-month and get the remaining time‘s money back. Which wasnt the case until now.

They have been using this business model for years for their VPS products and Hetzner has slowly been moving to unify their products because it's such a disjointed mess right now.

Like, it's completely unreasonable to expect to pay more.

They are doing it to stay competitive. Remember, cloud computing is a highly competitive market and customers can and do switch providers.

This is actually revenue-loss for them as canceling a dedicated server in the middle of the month will no longer result in a full month charge...

Exactly.

Sure, I could bet $1000.

(Source : I work in vaccine research, including challenge studies, in the UK, but only in IT/Digital, I'm not clinical).

In the UK at least (and as I understand it in most countries that subscribe to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki), all of our studies have to have insurance to cover such eventualities (which are exceedingly rare these days). In addition, we provide clinical contacts for the participants throughout the trial and follow-up, and ensure that participant NHS medical records (and central NHS databases such as for the COVID vaccines) are updated with the necessary details for any future related care.

Money/Payment is always a careful balance. You don't want people taking part in the trials purely for the money (i.e. doing something they wouldn't otherwise be comfortable doing), but you need to ensure they aren't disadvantaged by taking part in the trial.

Technically, that's not true either! That's the current format, previous formats (still legal and transferable/usable) have included XN, XNNXXX, XXXNX, and others!

The revolution WILL be televised, as it turns out.

I'd call it users_facts. But that's just me.

There's definitely some ambiguity there, that's a good point.

I'd probably say that users_facts would be a to-many join table between users and facts, like if you had one row per fact and a multiple facts per user though that example doesn't really make sense here (could just have the FK exist in Fact and not need a join table). If UserFacts were stored in a table with multiple facts in one row about a single user, I would probably call that table user_facts.

Would probably also be fine with running across either in any codebase (or even singular table names, for that matter! as long as it's consistent :D )

user_facts if it's one to many

users_to_facts if it's many to many

Yes, but they're only allowed to use the data for the (legitimate) purpose it was retained. If you ask them not to retain/use it for marketing purposes, they can still retain it for statutory purposes but they can then only use it for that (not for sending you advertising emails etc.)

You are right, I misread the gp, my bad.

Looks like I may be in the minority, but I've had nothing but good experience in the month or so I've had a 5G phone (Samsung S22, Three network, mostly in and around Oxford, UK). There is a 5G mast visible in the distance, and I consistently get 500-800Mbs down and 20-50Mbs up at home. Similar story when out and about if there is a 5G signal (occasionally download goes down to ~5Mbs). It's better than the ~400Mbs my Virginmedia home line maxes out at.

"Does the covid vaccine cause cancer?"

The answer is apparently :

"The Covid vaccine is linked to cancer."

Hmmmm.

Thanks for trying out Andi. It would be great to find out more about this, as I can't reproduce that result with any keyword combination I try.

The "deep answers" feature generally doesn't get invoked on unsafe or controversial topics, and you'd typically get results from a keyword search for something like that, with an extract snippet from the closest match result page for the keyword query (probably from Bing in a case like this where Andi itself will mark it as controversial for semantic search).

But it is very much an alpha and experimental, so it's helpful to get reports like this when something goes wrong. We don't log searches, so if you are able to provide some additional information it would help to investigate, given I can't reproduce it.

Andi is specifically set up to not give an unattributed direct answer to a question like that. It provides a quote or extract or summary with an "I found some information matching your search" or similar depending on the type of content. And the response is always in the context of the search results that it summarizes. It would be unexpected to have an unattributed answer to anything other than a computation question (eg what is 5 x 3)?

Thanks again and grateful for any additional information you can help with.

Indeed, but even centralised coal fired electric generation produces less carbon per mile travelled than petrol/diesel engines. We're not there yet, but proper grid management and diverse renewable sources mean that an increasing number of countries are heading towards large parts of base load being renewable. In all scenarios (apart from not travelling at all) electric cars are a carbon win, and it looks like it will only increase.
