What I would like is to be able to add a meta tag to my web app pointing to my mcp server and have this browser load it in automatically whenever I visit

Nothing that anyone ever posts anywhere is completely free from bias. What singles the BBC out as somehow uniquely deserving of scorn? In what way is everything single thing they post untrustworthy? Did you read the article? It happened exactly 100 years ago, which presumably is why they posted it


> What singles the BBC out as somehow uniquely deserving of scorn?

I'm not sure I'd have said that the BBC is uniquely a recipient of scorn.


> I see open debate as part of a healthy society. I value the ability to hear perspectives other than my own. That's what "freedom of speech" means to me

I don't think this open debate you're talking about actually happens much on social media. At least, outside of a few select Subreddits, I've very rarely seen it.


> Google was never able to build or buy a social platform to build their walled garden higher.

Does buying YouTube not count?


A fair point. That one is a blind spot for me because I do not use the social aspects of the platform.


Isn’t the vast majority of YouTube videos user-generated content?


I think social media implies there's more than one person involved, if you only watch videos and read no comments that's not really social media. The vast majority of Google search results is user generated content as well


> Want first class tuples/immutable arrays.

On this subject specifically, see the records & tuples proposal (currently at stage 2): https://github.com/tc39/proposal-record-tuple


> Which can be explained by teachers assessments being too optimistic

This can also be explained by teachers assessments being an accurate representation of students ability, but students traditionally not faring as well in exams as their ability would suggest due to exam taking being an additional unrelated skill.

fwiw though, you only need to look at some of the outliers to see that the algorithm failed. It's all very well to say that it produced a consistent result in general, but each result specifically applies to an individual person so needs to be fair to each person as well as in general.


Whatever algorithm used though the truth is that qualifications achieved this year are not directly comparable to qualifications achieved in other years due to the lack of exams.

While nobody's fault, imho we'd have been much served by admitting that they're not comparable and doing something else (e.g. add an extra qualifier to the grade or something) than by trying to make them comparable and obviously and predictably failing at it.


Not really, predicted grades have exam taking ability built in. The predicted grade is the assessment of how the student will perform in the exam. Coursework that was completed was already marked and the component of that set normally.


> fwiw though, you only need to look at some of the outliers to see that the algorithm failed.

I'm not arguing it's perfect, I'm just saying what we have now is worse in the aggregate. If you inflate so many grades then the grades become meaningless. You have devalued the work of the high achieving students.


> It's also a bit sad that most English names are gendered.

fwiw the name George in English can be applied to women as well as men (though only rarely I guess). See for example Famous Five books


In The Famous Five George's real name was Georgina, she preferred to be called George because she wanted to be recognised as a boy.


> Name one retailer that lets you hock your product in their store without paying anything?

This is a bad take. Hey is a subscription service. If you buy a magazine from a newsagent and then sign up to a subscription from it, the newsagent doesn't get to claim 30% of the subscription fee.


You do however pay the retailer something. Also, the physical retailer doesn’t provide you in further infrastructure - automatic updates, notification support, a printing press to help you create your magazine (ie developer tools), etc.


1 times faster means "the same speed as". 100% faster means "twice as fast". Though of course nobody would say 1 times faster in reality.


So what do "0.5 times faster" and "50% faster mean"? Are both identical to "half as fast"?
