A lot of powers are devolved away from England to each other country in the UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devolution_in_the_United_Kingd...


Each country also has their own Public Health bodies, so pretty much everything related to health is devolved


Yes, that's what I said - each is named "NHS [country]" (National Health Service [England | Scotland | etc]).


Splitting hairs, but the public health bodies are separate from the National Health Services (so there exists Public Health England _and_ NHS England). Public health is slightly different to healthcare, but of course they work together.

Oddly, Public Health Scotland is part of NHS Scotland; but Public Health England is not part of NHS England, it's a parallel department.


Gotcha, clearly I know just enough about the UK government to prove how little I know about the UK government. :)

I'm British by birth (well, UAE, but they don't do jus soli), but been in the US since kindergarten and naturalized since college.


You give them the keys, then they go to the site to collect your item.

"In this model, mice lived in specially designed cages where food was accessed through a hinged, weighted lid. To eat, the mice had to lift the lid while wearing a small shoulder collar, causing a squat-like movement that engaged the muscle contractions people use during resistance exercise. The load was gradually increased over several days, mimicking progressive strength training."

So the study doesn't really show that weighlifting per se is beneficial, but putting food behind weighted hatches is?

"Voluntary wheel running (EEX) was conducted as previously described in single-housed mice with access to voluntary running wheels and food and water ad-libitum,"

And the runners could each as much as they liked?

Sounds like bunk.


This is great news if you're a mouse with diabetes.


As a mouse with diabetes sometimes you have to wonder how did I get here?


This doesn't even have sufficient controls to demonstrate that.

This title could have been called 'mice like to run more than they like to lift weights'


But do you know why mice is often used instead of says, cat?


Does the average "scientist" even care about quality these days or is it all just whatever headline makes their funders happy?


Selection bias. The average scientist doesn’t write oversimplified popsci articles that go viral.


The editor nearly always chooses the title when an article is published.


It drives engagement. That’s the metric for why this gets posted.


Yes, and just yesterday a passenger train was routed into the path of a freight train due to some points failure. It does make you wonder. https://www.railmagazine.com/news/points-failure-results-in-...


The trains heading for each other was not a direct result of the points failure but a direct result of the manual operation of the points after the failure. Everything was on go-slow so no risk of collision. This was human error.


A bit part of education is (should be) independent learning with textbooks and reading. You don't need to be "tutored".


Tutors should be able to approximate the ZPD better than any student can. Most students lack intrinsic motivation and it's a tutor's job to help them get started.


    > Most students lack intrinsic motivation
Woah, this a wild claim. Plus it is on a spectrum per subject. Do you have any evidence to support your bold claim?


Okay, I was generalising from experience; most students I've met lack intrinsic motivation. School systems typically encourage students to depend on extrinsic motivation.


When I was 8, I could use the Internet at school but every website was whitelisted.


I'm probably going down a conspiracy theory, but it's notable when all the Five Eyes countries seem to start talking about the same problem and pushing through legislation. The US would probably do the same if not for the constitution.


Not sure how closely you follow US news, but a majority of Americans feel that the current US administration is not all that concerned with the constitution, so that not really a blocker.


I think there's some sort of 'social pressure' between nations. Policies during the COVID-19 era come to mind.


It's called lobbying.


Of charges, not arrests.


Are your UUIDs generated client side or server side? If it's client side, it could be due to a crawling bot. Googlebot for example executes Javascript using deterministic "randomness".


Googlebot's lack of randomness was the conclusion of a previous incident for that package https://github.com/uuidjs/uuid/issues/546


Yeah, the answer almost certainly has to be this, or that they were using an old version of the package which didn't use the system RNG correctly (the current version appears to do it correctly, but I didn't dive into older versions), or their project has loaded an old broken polyfill re-implementing the JS crypto API, or they were running this on a hosting setup that does something jank like resuming the same VM snapshot with its RNG state on multiple servers. This category of explanation is many orders of magnitude more likely than a true random collision.
