John Turner from the Association of Elect Administrators says "Whatever address you are living at time of nomination is what should appear on nomination paper."
Begs the question; what does living mean.. I’ve got to say that I had a lot of sympathy with the view of the RO who challenged me; where does the candidate ordinarily with his/her(etc) family (if any). Perhaps address from which they ordinarily pay Council Tax and/or appear on the Electoral Register!
For someone like Dr Nuttall I'd give him a bit of leeway, as he works abroad as well as having a family home in England.
For instance, I think it is reasonably credible that Watson could be programmed to be a PB contributor and if he got away with that for a year, that would be easily as good as passing a Turing test.
Of course, this may already have happened...

The problem was Root falling behind the run rate and his inability to hit the ball hard enough and high enough to penetrate the field and score boundaries.
Consequently Root was out attempting an impossible shot as were the others that followed him and were put in the position of having to score at 14 runs an over. The result was the England batsmen having to go for impossible shots off decent bowling.

Family home is fine. Wondering about it was why I went to the RO well before the closing date.

Half the reason I didn't stand for UKIP in the end was I knew I would be confronted with Enoch Powell quotes from here (even though isam isn't my real name!)
"2016 is a year that we will remember as the year in which two great friends decided to focus their policies chiefly upon themselves.... They seem to wish to turn the course of history - and this conflicts with their own traditions of openness and generosity, of joining our common dream and commitment."
The King of the Belgians speaks.
The world pauses - wonders if that noise it heard was a mouse farting - and goes about its business...
This is more than 50% of the problem with the EU, that politicians from proper nations busy themselves with national politics, and those from toy countries gravitate to the eu because nothing interesting enough happens at home.

So, to re-cap on Stoke, the leading contenders are: Labour, who've selected a candidate with a whole sheaf of discoverable "deplorables" tweets; and UKIP, whose candidate (as seems to be their norm) is too incompetent to fill in nomination forms properly.
Betting on this is like watching a boxing match and trying to figure out which of the idiot sluggers is going to knock themselves out first.
The interesting thing is are you in charge of it, or is it in charge of it? Difference being if it's in charge of it you could presumably be as drunk as a skunk on the way back from the pub and all would be well. Bad day for taxis is that.
Yes, the car is in charge. You just have to slur your address. It will be great for pubs - no more worries about drink driving. But terrible news for cabbies and Uber drivers, as you say.
I reckon a personal car driver will eventually become a status symbol for the very rich, like a butler. Otherwise cars and buses as we know them will go extinct, as the horse and carriage did, before.
Cheap, and sustainable, no buses or taxis - how about trains? Personal conveyances a necessity. Each child has one to get to school?
All the extra vehicles will need to be parked somewhere. Parking is difficult enough now, without every single person having their own individual vehicle.
Good evening, everyone.
AIUI the predicted model is that once your self-driving car has dropped you at your workplace, it either goes back home or heads off to a big out-of-town car park, or you hire it out to Uber or Lyft and it goes around doing taxi runs until you need it to go home. Indeed, some forecast that there'd be little point for most people to own a driverless car, it'd be cheaper for most people to just call one from Uber/Lyft/etc. There would still be a peak demand at rush hour, and possibly that could be met by ride-sharing.
But, everyone will now say, people like having their own car because everyone hates sharing public transport with the great unwashed, however it would be possible to group together with people you know and like (or at least broadly don't object to): friends, neighbours, workmates, who are making the same sort of commute as you.
Personally I wouldn't quite expect all the cabbies etc to be on the dole queue *quite* yet as there are still a lot of edge cases the AI drivers can't cope with very well, and after a few well publicised fatal accidents with truly driverless cars there'll probably be a lot of public pressure to require the cars to have controls and whoever is in that seat to be a licenced driver, at least for a few years. (A situation not unlike the Red Flag Act.) I've heard that those working in the field reckon we're still a generation away from cars that can truly be completely automatic even when no people are inside them.

Give it 15-20 years and there might be more unicorns jobs going than many traditional careers.
This is how it works. Driverless cars are all linked to one system. Because they are computers. They will be instructed to slow down or speed up by Overall Traffic Control as and when traffic demands, the way human drivers are told to slow down or speed up on motorways - but humans are unreliable, computers always obey.
Really ? And then they enter a network blackspot (of which there are many in modern first world cities, never mind the third world) what do they do pray tell ? The plan is not for SkyNet for this very reason, Driverless cars are going to be AUTONOMOUS for the foreseeable future, not to mention network latency is far too high for real time safety critical decisions.

That would be the sensible Chinese style grant plan, but if it was the case there wouldn't have needed to be the $100's million spent in research over the past 5 years. Computers controlling a car has been solved for donkeys years. All the effort over the past 5-10 years has all been focused about the car being able to adapt to uncertain and changing environments and what do to when something really odd happens like a tramp wearing stilts riding a unicycle decides to ride up the middle of one way street the wrong way.
Mr. Rex, we've already had that vote. If Leave is split or stays at home, and Remain turns away from Labour, the Lib Dems could win. No idea how likely that is, but *someone* has to win.
There's a unicorn in The Witcher 3. But it's rather NSFW.
If people are still driving but in driverless - and apparently much cheaper - cars, how will traffic problems have been solved?
There will probably be advances in pollution control. That is a good thing. But a bit of healthy scepticism is in order. Remember when diesel cars were seen as the answer to our pollution issues?
Jesus FUCKING Christ PB-ers are THICK.

This will, by itself, immeasurably improve traffic in cities. Your driverless car will work out the best way to your destination, that maximises traffic flow FOR EVERYONE.
Driverless cars are electric = no pollution. Roads will be emptier without all the crap that goes with human cars, petrol stations etc. Driverless cars are much smaller, because no drivers = again emptier roads. On and on and on. There won't be parked cars clogging roads, almost no one will have private cars, the way no one has a carriage and horses today, or stables in the mews.

Personally, I like driving. I enjoy being in control in my own space with my own music. I like having a beautiful looking car. I hate being a passenger.
I agree. Imanure, and pure finders, and livery, and coaching inns.
I’m still mind-boggl;ing over a mix of driverless cars and motor-si taxis in Bangkok.

While, in principle, I agree with you, I think you are significantly underestimating the difficulties involved. I would however be very surprised indeed if the majority of cars and not self-driving within a decade and a half - and there will be plenty of jurisdictions where it's simply illegal to drive yourself.

If they were smart they would keep very quiet over the next 4-8 years and hope he doesnt notice the 4ish billion dollars the US throws them every year.
Interestingly I was watching a talk from Google about code formatting / commenting and the guy basically said that the automated system Google use internally is superior to the vast majority of manual formatting produced by humans within Google and thus it isn't encouraged.

More alternative facts…
https://newrepublic.com/article/140286/trump-ignored-obamas-adviceand-now-hes-world-trouble Trump officials called the immigration order a huge success and then contradicted themselves by blaming the chaos on Trump policy adviser Stephen Miller. After meeting with Trump and a number of other White House sources this weekend, Joe Scarborough reported that Miller was able to single-handedly rock the conscience of the world because Trump has done nothing to establish an orderly and lawful process.
“It was Stephen Miller sitting in the White House saying, ‘We’re not going to go to the other agencies. We’re not going to talk to the lawyers. We’re going to do this all alone,’” Scarborough said on Morning Joe. “And I’ll just say it right here, and reporting will bear this out, you’ve got a very young person in the White House on a power trip thinking that you can just write executive orders and tell all of your cabinet agencies to go to hell.”…
…Heeding Obama’s advice might have helped Trump avoid making an obvious and monumental error, but Trump either lacks the capacity to run the government in an orderly fashion or intentionally discarded Obama’s recommendations, or both. When reality quickly asserted itself, as Obama promised it would, Trump claimed (out of ignorance or malicious dishonesty) that he was merely reprising “ what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months”—a “ban” that quite literally never happened…

The Macron-Fillon dynamic works against Le Pen in the first round - whoever of those two wins will be sufficiently popular in the second round to win. In fact the VI required 41-59 poll for Fillon probably sees him (Via Bayes and whatnot) lose to Macron in the first round.
I've got those two dutched against Le Pen currently, with a comedy saver on Sarko.

It would also seem to be because 191 other members are too cheap to pay a proper percentage of the running costs. 39 of which are paying on just over $25,000 each per year in total, less than they probably pay for the private school fees for the kids of one of their ministers.
Things are not helped by the countries that pay the 2% of the costs between them are able to out vote the budget proposals set out by the countries that pay the other 98%

Consequently Root was out attempting an impossible shot as were the others that followed him and were put in the position of having to score at 14 runs an over. The result was the England batsmen having to go for impossible shots off decent bowling.
Wondering about it was why I went to the RO well before the closing date.
Half the reason I didn't stand for UKIP in the end was I knew I would be confronted with Enoch Powell quotes from here (even though isam isn't my real name!)

I don't think either byelection will be dominated by Brexit. That is a done deal and the electorate has moved back to more mundane issues.
What does UKIP offer the people of Stoke that Mays Conservatives do not? I think the Tories are too long there, particularly if the carpetbagger kipper is off the ballot.
Terrible choice by Labour. Absolutely terrible.
They couldn't find a Leaver in Stoke? REALLY?
lol.

I see the King of Belgium lacks the marvellous restraint of our own splendid monarch.
Labour, who've selected a candidate with a whole sheaf of discoverable "deplorables" tweets; and
UKIP, whose candidate (as seems to be their norm) is too incompetent to fill in nomination forms properly.
Betting on this is like watching a boxing match and trying to figure out which of the idiot sluggers is going to knock themselves out first.
But, everyone will now say, people like having their own car because everyone hates sharing public transport with the great unwashed, however it would be possible to group together with people you know and like (or at least broadly don't object to): friends, neighbours, workmates, who are making the same sort of commute as you.
Personally I wouldn't quite expect all the cabbies etc to be on the dole queue *quite* yet as there are still a lot of edge cases the AI drivers can't cope with very well, and after a few well publicised fatal accidents with truly driverless cars there'll probably be a lot of public pressure to require the cars to have controls and whoever is in that seat to be a licenced driver, at least for a few years. (A situation not unlike the Red Flag Act.) I've heard that those working in the field reckon we're still a generation away from cars that can truly be completely automatic even when no people are inside them.

Interestingly I was watching a talk from Google about code formatting / commenting and the guy basically said that the automated system Google use internally is superior to the vast majority of manual formatting produced by humans within Google and thus it isn't encouraged.

Trump officials called the immigration order a huge success and then contradicted themselves by blaming the chaos on Trump policy adviser Stephen Miller. After meeting with Trump and a number of other White House sources this weekend, Joe Scarborough reported that Miller was able to single-handedly rock the conscience of the world because Trump has done nothing to establish an orderly and lawful process.
“It was Stephen Miller sitting in the White House saying, ‘We’re not going to go to the other agencies. We’re not going to talk to the lawyers. We’re going to do this all alone,’” Scarborough said on Morning Joe. “And I’ll just say it right here, and reporting will bear this out, you’ve got a very young person in the White House on a power trip thinking that you can just write executive orders and tell all of your cabinet agencies to go to hell.”…
…Heeding Obama’s advice might have helped Trump avoid making an obvious and monumental error, but Trump either lacks the capacity to run the government in an orderly fashion or intentionally discarded Obama’s recommendations, or both. When reality quickly asserted itself, as Obama promised it would, Trump claimed (out of ignorance or malicious dishonesty) that he was merely reprising “ what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months”—a “ban” that quite literally never happened…

Agreed, but the areas without network coverage are generally quieter so it isn't so important there to know about traffic etc.
