I think the problem is that .co.uk, .gov.uk and so on are very well known in the UK. The .name subdomain rules are not very well known anywhere.

Oh thanks for clearing that up, I misunderstood on my previous read.
The same thing applies in the US doesn't it? There has essentially only been two political parties (three if you squint hard enough) for nearly the entire existence of the country?
The US constitution is very similar, except in two important regards: amendments require two thirds majority votes in both houses and ratification by 75% of the states. We don't have the state mechanism. You could argue…
To "fall foul", i.e. be required to add highly effective age assurance, there's a number of tests you have to pass One of the tests is: > Are there a significant number of children using the service or is the service…
The childcare voucher scheme closed to new entrants in 2018.
> Terminating a train and turning it around takes a lot of space, space that is usually unavailable in a city center. This doesn't happen in London in my experience. Trains don't turn around, instead every train is…
Is there a reason you couldn't build new light rail trains to a higher level of crashworthiness than they are currently? I don't know the full details, but that's how tram-trains in Sheffield, UK were allowed access to…
> We're drunk on the ease of implicitly painting people who can't read as much as us as simply dumb modern westerners. I'm not sure we're doing that. That's certainly not my intention. I know and respect many people who…
This is a ludicrous take. I was on vacation last week and read three books, albeit not weighty novels. I can't remember when I read as few as 10 novels per year. I'm not a CEO, but reading is also far from my only hobby.
People were doing this in the days of printed phone books. There would be an "AAA Plumbers", "ABC Taxis" and so on. Reputedly, "Apple Computers" coming ahead of "Atari" (Jobs' ex-employer) in the phonebook was one of…
Not at all. It means that the UK police can compel you to turn over your decryption keys if it is deemed necessary and proportionate to prevent or investigate a crime.

You're probably right. I just pulled it from https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/zone-2-93814.html without too much thought. Still, a £1.3m house isn't completely infeasible in London :-).
A £1.3 million house in London on a 10% deposit and a 4.7% interest rate over 30 years would be £6094 per month. The average price for a terraced house in london zone 2 is £1.7 million
> now it's been found that a majority of Brits receive more in benefits than they contribute in taxes This has been the case for decades. It's not news.
Octopus are already doing this in the UK,so it does actually happen.
The new builds are made of brick and block, and are indeed insulated really well. It's the millions of older houses, particularly Victorian ones, that are made of brick, are not usually insulated well, and are often…

It's not on the UK taxpayers dime, quite the opposite. The higher fees that international students pay are used to subsidise the costs of educating UK students.
Stack overflows moderation made it, and it will also kill it. There's something about software that attracts people who interpret rules for humans as something to be interpreted by computers rather than people. Absolute…
Build more bike lanes. To an extent, it's a self-solving problem. If you have great non-car transport options and an increase in traffic makes car driving less appealing, then more people will use those non-car…
It's not necessarily the jelly shot, and day drinking is far from unusual in the UK. The idea of an official organised parents weekend where you turn up at uni to party with your kids is a bit cringe. YMCA or not.
Here it's simpler, you fill out the form on your phone, take a picture on your phone and then the passport arrives in the post. Then you eventually sign it after a bored border official passes comment.
