Why the empty atom picture misunderstands quantum theory
https://aeon.co/essays/why-the-empty-atom-picture-misunderstands-quantum-theory?utm_source=DamnInteresting
I have asked the agency why and pointed out that I will scan in said lettter and e-mail anyway.
They have a copy of my DBS, know from my CV that I have worked here before, so I am hardly trying to work illegally.
They also seem to suggest that N cards are no longer valid.
I understand the process but agree with you that sometimes they make it far more difficult.

@msbellows @CitizenWald that's really interesting. I think there's really something to it, though: when you start approaching risks as a profession you become a lot more aware of them and horrified by the cavalier approach others take with them. Interesting paradox.
If this was the UK a threat like thatr would probably get kids taken in to care, assuming the local social services were competent enough to act, and their managers are not a bunch of idiots who decide not to act.

Fox News' Tyrus promises to assault his children if they share their preferred pronouns
Ah thanks. I was born here, I am trying to sign up with an agency, they want a letter from the DWP with the date and NI number on, This was sent to me via the journal system for UC, however this employer seems to suggest it HAS to be sent via post.
So the DWP now probably have to print, send via post for me to scan in to a pdf to send to employer, the exact same item as was sent electronically.
Seems that for those born in the UK employers make life very difficult sometimes,

I wonder if this is legal in the UK
If looking for work in the UK a job offer is generally required before a visa can be issued, the language here seems to suggest don't bother unless you can work in the UK.
This is from the senploy website they are an employment agency or help to find work from other agencies, I am not too sure.,
What happens if they block an IP address that is say from a library or another place where there is public internet access, they may forget to tick that box, so their IP would be blocked but so would it be blocked for anyone.

why the fuck is everyone in the computer industries pushing LLMs and generative AI so goddamn hard.
it feels like blockchain all over again but it’s catching people i expected better of. i don’t even think generative AI is useless, i just don’t understand why everyone wants to throw caution to the wind on a technology that is *known* to lie regularly.

So, it turns out Tesla isn't the only racist company run by Elon Musk. Quelle surprise.
"DOJ sues SpaceX for hiring discrimination against non-citizens/lawful permanent residents"
"Between 2018 and 2022, SpaceX wrongly claimed that export control laws limited its hiring to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents"
It also shows lack of respect, if a company respected its workforce it would be able to trust people to do the job.
