It turns the whole world into a computer science problem. A distributed database of state with some malicious data. With various asynchronous processes that have different versions of the data. All needing to make decisions with incomple

At this point they are probably not going to succeed in certification. It is a damage limitation exercise. They can... 1. Return uncrewed and burn up. Nasa complemented for its caution. 2. Return uncrewed successfully. Nasa complement

Perhaps the limit is not around formats but around the type system. You may be able to dump data, but can you actually reliably use it for anything?

What difference does it make who did it? Unless maybe it was someone unexpected like China.

Poor conversion factors may still be viable if the electricity can be bought cheaply enough and the hydrogen sold at a high enough price.

In a sense the secure platform already exists. You use web apps as much as possible. You store data in cloud storage. You restrict local file access and execute permissions. Authenticate using passkeys. The trouble is that people still

In a world of complex systems a "confluence of improbable events" is the same thing as "a disaster waiting to happen". Its the swiss cheese model of failure. Y

Renewables does not need to provide a 100% solution in order to aid decarbonisation.

Not the parent poster. But the people who built the French nuclear fleet are not the same as the people pushing nuclear power in the media. Just because an energy source is technically positive does not mean that the people supporting it

Perhaps the organisations have a similar security posture. And that creates a market that will eventually result in a few large providers who have the resources to service larger corporations. You see something similar in VPN software whe

My employer uses Microsoft as a single sign-on and the poor UX is a huge risk. People just get sick of endless shoddy login prompts and authenticator app warnings. It trains users to enter credentials without enough thought. Something li

That is an apples to oranges comparison. You are comparing r&d on an emerging technology to deployment of a mature technology. Its like spending on developing a new plane to purchasing an existing one.

It is an apples to oranges comparison. You could just as easily say that if planes are so bad why do people use the subway. Different modes of transport are optimal for different things. The miracle of modern transport is that it allows

And often their core responsibility will be security, governance, vendor management, digital transformation etc. Not the actual operations of the business or the comfort and productivity of staff.

It is a shame that there isn't more creativity with these facades. Make something arty or fun rather than just trying to fit in.

My nephew is into this. The great thing about the bicarb style ones is that he can actually play with the ingredients. And this is what "experimenting" should be. Trying things out and seeing what happens. The fun is finding o

London is old enough that it will still reflect patterns from hundreds of years ago. You get old town and villages that have been joined together with newer development. Old roads that used to be a main road and retain some of the inns an

Although space flight tends to have long periods of time where the craft can just coast. You have time to work the problem. A complete system failure could be worse on a plane in cloud than a spacecraft in orbit.

The main reason for subsidy is that the costs are all upfront and electricity prices are unpredictable. That is not a problem that is unique to wind, particularly in the climate change era. Systems like strike prices can be competitively

I think history is full of examples of people using god and religion as an explanation for far more prosaic things than is typical now. An explanation for why crops fail, or a child dies of the flu. An explanation for why a birds song is

Bit off topic but I think there is lots of potential for corporate use of WhatsApp as a way of onboarding new employees and as an backup channel when other systems (like teams) fail. It could be a mix of bots, HR and other employees. Some

For a long time religion was the best explanation for the complexities of the world. And it naturally attracted the most curious people. Of course that all changed with science and particularly evolution. We discovered better answers to th

Maybe that is what you get when you replace social obligation with money and apps. That kind of existence was common in America and increased during covid. And it is a terrible model for situations where people actually need each other in

There seems to be a lot of "first principles" thinking in this debate which leaves out essential factors. It ignores that children have brains of their own with likes and dislikes who will readily decide for themselves how much t

I am in favour of nuclear but a politically unpalatable solution is useless for decarbonisation.

The current movement focuses almost exclusively on the individual. When the best solution to most problems is collective as part of a society, community, family, team etc. It offloads structural problems on the individual and makes people
