<p>I'd have thought an OAuth flow to a government run ID system, to create an account you first must verify your age by redirecting to the ID provider logging in via FaceID/Fingerprint to verify it's you and then you are redirected back to the original site with a verification code.<p>Admittedly on paper that means the Gov system would know which sites you were approved for, not logging that would require legislation to not store these logs.</p>

<p>The population of London at the last census was still 60% British born. The difference between 2000 is that the figure was 60% white British.<p>He's not saying London doesn't have enough British people, he's saying it doesn't have enough white people in it.<p>That and saying it was heartwarming to see a Tommy Robinson march who represents the most extreme fringe of British right wing politics.</p>

<p>I think Singapore has a pretty good experience worked out now, the immigration is automated just with an iris scan.<p>Additionally moving security to the gate rather than having a single security point for all flights also makes the wait here shorter and more importantly predictable.<p>If I'm just taking a cabin bag I always arrive 35-40 minutes before a flight and have had no trouble with time, normally enough time to grab a coffee too before boarding.</p>

<p>Out of interest, from a US point of view since I'm not there, is this going to end up as a relatively damp squib in the very near future now we have access to 5G and all the competition there.<p>Last year I was able to abandon completely my broadband provider and now have two sims, one for a home router and one for a mobile router with pretty much unlimited data.<p>There is so much competition in the 5G mobile space that the ability of these older closed market providers over cable/fiber is surely going to be a thing of the past very soon and thus the need to enforce legal neutrality will fade?</p>

<p>People bring the value that they generate for an economy. Once they can be replaced with AI/Robots then that labour can be reallocated further up the value chain which in turn makes our economies and culture richer and more productive.<p>Imagine if we were all working 18 hour subsistence farming jobs now just to survive, it's ridiculous to argue that eschewing automation for anything is detrimental, it only serves to enhance society and make it more productive.</p>

<p>Let's put this in context, Reddit has somewhere in the region of 1.2 Billion users a month and supposedly earn somewhere in the region of $350Million a year in advertising revenue. This is a very good business and something that could easily be profitable.<p>The issue is they took in VC investment at a $10Billion+ valuation and for that $350M is not enough they need to probably triple it to get somewhere close to that valuation.<p>So let's not confuse on paper profitability with desired profitability at current VC valuation.</p>

<p>Always remember Ed Whitlock, he didn't start running till he was passed 40 and he was still running sub-3 hour marathons at 69 years old.<p>You have plenty of time, I've trained with lots of people that started late and were still running impressive times.</p>

<p>Echoing the other advice, good shoes, get fitted for the first pair at a running shop that analyses you first.<p>Secondly don't fall into the trap of thinking that you can jump back into running 8km or so daily, you need to build yourself up slowly first, use an easier program like couch to 10k after which you should be in good enough shape to start increasing frequency of runs.<p>While you're in this phase concentrate on easy paced runs, so hopefully the lungs shouldn't be an issue, you should run at a pace where you can hold a conversation without struggling for breath.</p>

<p>When you see good language use in writing it communicates its own sense of quality. This differentiates low-value sources where some people communicate without an appreciation of the minutiae of the language.<p>Now for forum comments or low-value writing it's not an issue, but you can argue that having someone who is experienced with using a style guide and communicating consistently adds some authoritativeness to the publications.<p>In the case of Wikipedia that is a valid thing to aim for.</p>
