Whilst historically those publications enjoy such a reputation you can find a body important retractions and delayed retractions in both journals. The Spectator magazine of 12th of August this year has some recent specifics. Titles used to almost regularly pass through phases of better and worse administration it doesn't mean that the name is ruined when things go wrong, but the purpose of publication has never been to establish unassailable truths something that I am sure that every editor concurs with for legal practical moral and social reasons.
Foreign licensed vehicles can operate and drive in the UK for up to 30 days without applying to the DVLA (DMV) for UK registration.
However the UK government has never subscribed to any of the available EU crime and general population administration data sources which has always left the UK vulnerable to overseas criminal activities concentrating here because there's obviously no reciprocating return of information to the continental authorities either and so the UK has become the best place to let the law slip if you're up to no good in Europe.
I was shocked the other day by seeing a physical travelcard ticket for Zones 1-9 and having to confirm from a Tube station map that a Zone 9 actually exists. This is four more than I could remember.
This post really highlights how much of the development in London is infill into already existing Victorian (or earlier) neighbourhoods and how the city is growing without sprawling outwards. The Victorians built the Metropolitan line out almost all the way to Aylesbury anticipating that the city would follow but it really hasn't. When you take the tube to zone 9 you start to go past horses and cows in fields. There are some really nice walks in the Chiltern hills starting from Chesham and Amersham and you don't feel like you're in London at all. We always wonder if people living there even consider themselves as Londoners.
Zones beyond 6 have existed since at least the late 90s. My vague recollection is that A-C basically meant "the top end of the Metropolitan line" - certainly how it seemed for me as an SW Londoner. Then at some point the letters were changed to numbers and more stations were brought inside over in Essex, Kent, etc. The Wikipedia page for stations in zones 7-9 has a changelog of sorts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stations_in_London_far...
Long ago when I moved to London, it was zones 1-6 then A-D for stations outside Greater London. I think changing A-D to 7, 8 & 9 made it simpler; most people aren't interested in what the local government is when they buy a ticket.
To be fair I didn't know that either... For some reason I thought 7 was the last zone... 13 years here (almost to the day) and I've learned something new !
As far as I can recall the population of the UK has hovered around 55 million since the early 80s at least, but this number doesn't seem to make sense to me. I'm reminded of a March 2020 London Evening Standard headline saying that half of the adult population of the UK had been vaccinated and the headline gave 55 million people as the total for that number, which gave me pause for thought.
The UK population is 67 million today - and has been growing consistently year on year since the early 00's. It did hover around 55-58 million between 1970 and 2000 though.
If these entities have a legitimate grievance with you such as passing off fake branded goods or a willful interference with a private exclusive licensing agreement for product resale (tortious interference with a third party contract, common law breach of design rights through passing off which is two torts and obviously the inevitable harm to the revenues expected from that agreement which was never open to you) they can just serve the DMCA notices on your upstream provider and enforce effective disconnections of your storefront.
This statutory and perfunctory hence effectively attorney free process would have relieved the beleaguered BIOS developer's concerns discussed here the other day and this is a and usually effective right of protection that's rare in its accessibility to the common man instead of the largest businesses.
>Humans are highly adaptable and like other changes to information availability in the past they will adapt. This is what societal norms and cultural memes are for. “Don’t believe everything you hear” “Don’t believe what you see on TV” “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” These are all ways that the human species uses memes and cultural norms to teach ourselves how not to fall victim to false information.
But who is parsing all the reciprocal new false and fallacios "truths" in this wonderful human way to sanitise the inputs to the next model that's evaluated? If humans could scale so easily there wouldn't be this problem in the first place.
The USA is a signatory to the Madrid Treaty Protocol governing international intellectual property rights, but never bothered to ratify it. What might a different country who has bothered to ratify the treaty and been subjected to litigation and trade enbargos at the behest of America maybe think about the behavioral example? There's just one example of a international famous trademark enforcement against American interests which is Societé Des Bains De Mer, the owners of the Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco in the 9th District in 2001. Just that solitary case of reciprocal enforcement.
Case law, at least in England and Wales, is on the side of whoever makes something out of disused or dormant designs and patents. The equitable ruling will always be made in favour of the technical infringer paying a reasonable royalty provided that use and application does not harm the rights owner.
Book value accounting only works if you have matching regulatory or matching duration capital for the original loan.
Mortgage banks drove the UK bankrupt cap in hand to the IMF in 73 with far far less of a rates delta than is happening now.
Edit : there was a similar breakdown of society as is happening already today almost everywhere , back in 73 in the UK. The main difference is that the banks managed to put much more of the pain onto the common man since then.
There is ample reason to believe that banks will be fine and the future will continue without random bank runs, SVB was an outlier.
But even if that happens, the delta between book value and market value for the banks is mostly covered by shareholder equity, so banks may fail but the system should be fine.
