I think it is done frequently in commercial development, just not as a product that would be sold directly. The whole point of hiring an architect is so that you don't have to build that team within your own company. Even if you boug

And we shouldn't have prid pro quo on such matters with an ally. Our legal and diplomatic systems should be able to asses each question on its merits. I feel conflicted on the Sacoolas question. Obviously she should face justice. Ho

Although it's not a format, the closest thing I have found is Postgres. You get well defined types that make life easier. They are stored efficiently in binary. And have a sensible text representation that means you can still read a

And the comment about ambulances is also ridiculous considering how often cars obstruct cities. You get to the hospital quickly because dense cities have lots of hospitals.

Cars are a major source of inconvenience and health damaging pollution to a lot of other tax payers. The only window dressing is how we continue to try and nudge people into doing the right thing with taxes and fees. It is a small amount

You generate it locally, use an existing grid connection, or build a new grid connection. The advantage of this is flexibility. You can use spare capacity in one to fill a gap in the other. This already happens with generators. Why not

That broadly equates to... 1. Ads 2. Corporate 3. Cloud infrastructure 4. Ads 5. Retail app sales and hardware. Maybe things get messy when those different models are mixed.

Also, the location of the pollution matters. The same pollutant can cause more problems released at ground level than from a stack.

But the atmosphere is!

That is logic that works at a local and individual level but breaks down at a global and economic level. Think of it like fish stocks. A small pond can be managed by an individual to make sure that stock levels are renewable. You are care

We would quickly end up with zig zag maps.

In Europe it is distinctly less risky as you get arbitrage between different parts of the grid. You make money as long as their is a price difference. The technology is well understood. California is hardly a good case study. I think the

There is a lot of battery storage projects in the pipeline now, about 20GW. They are mass producable, modular, can be containerised and built very quickly. And we need to scale up battery production anyway for electric cars. If humanit

They did it with offshore wind, solar and now battery storage. These kind of agreements are an area where politicians can actually be successful.

It is regrettable that industry could not do better. But I can see some sense from the government perspective. Ultimately you get a big investment in British industry. And eventually a very reliable baseload generator. And people will b

For enterprise I am not sure this kind of name branding makes sense anyway. Surely the user experience is going to depend massively on the deployed app and whoever develops that. Better for another company to slap their brand on it and se

As Churchill once said, "Microsoft teams is the worse system imaginable, except for all the others". On its own Teams is not a great product. But the ecosystem taken together adds up to something that is difficult to beat for a

I think there is much more than the ISP market. Think about providing backhaul for WiFi/5G at festivals. Or connections to robotic farm machinery. Or IoT devices in remote areas. Or WiFi on aeroplanes, cruise ships, oil rigs.

If there is a potential conflict of interest you should tell the client and let them decide.

I am objecting to the ad hominem attack on mask wearers and the suggestion that it is indicative of some kind of moral failing. That does not mean I want masks forever (I don't). Or that I have a problem with people who choose not

by 7952 5y ago
It is perfectly possible that face mask wearing is overcautious. That does not support your suggestion of facism. What I am hearing is that you want people to stop wearing masks so that you feel safer. That the suggestion of a different p

A hallmark of facism is the deliberate suppression of nuance. Every single thing is distorted to align with a particular narrative of fear. Fear of Jews, communists, or secret cabals of lefties using masks to destroy freedom. There is mor

The companies going bust buy energy wholesale and resell to consumers. The companies generating the power are different.

Tonnes of release doesnt tell the whole story though. Domestic burners are closer to the ground and other humans. Coal power stations have stacks to shoot the emissions higher in the atmosphere. In developed countries it just seems like a

People approach things at different levels of abstraction and argue with people at a different level. You saw this all the time in the pandemic. At one level of abstraction it is about the physics and biology of body fluids. At another l

Give the N Korean leadership some assurance that the next president isn't going to do a u turn on a peace deal. N Korea just wants to survive. And America is an unreliable partner in peace.

But I want to do the right thing if I can. Of course that won't have a global impact. But so what? Impact beyond oneself seems like a high bar to set. Really I think your appeal to heodinism is just a value system like everyone else

And probably lower variance in noise compared to ice cars which are sometimes designed or modified to have excess noise as a feature.
