Why is this comment so unpopular? I also fail to see how these ex oil companies will profit from carbon reduction. A far more likely scenario is they apply what they have learned in oil and gas to offshore wind generation and continue to ha

I'm Scottish. There is a resurgence of Scots in the cities (I'm in Glasgow) but it's a bit hipster. Even most central belt (Glasgow or Edinburgh) Scots think it's a little bit of a joke language. So this is article is in

Also 'braw' in scots, or 'bra' in swedish, which both mean 'good'. Picked this up while watching The Bridge... there are others as well.

Ask HN: What VCs/funds are focussed on hardware innovations?

I don't understand your point. The UK contains the largest proportion of STEM workers in Europe, equalled only by Germany, and the UK contains some of the best unis in the world.

This is interesting. I'm UK native and my feeling was that the UK is struggling to develop more engys/scienstists. But other countries are evidently struggling even more. I also thought that Germany's contribution would be wa

Even if the message contents is encrypted, doesn't whatsapp still log the source and destination and their phone number and associate these with real persons? It should be trivial enough to figure out who delivered which tip by knowing

I run a start-up so I'm biased. I also used to work in academia, and went straight from that to a start-up because I loathe the idea of working for a big engineering firm (I'm an electrical/electronic/photonic engineer).

OP here. I'm glad to see hardware start-ups getting a focus. For those that don't know, IMEC are probably the largest silicon chip research foundry in the EU (covering both electronic and photonic chips). Anyone know of any other

But you need people to use vanilla HN in order to feed this ranking. Should they use both?

I wrote it like that because the absurdity amused me, not as a cheap attention grab.

I wasn't contributing then, but it's still very nice to hear, so thanks for posting. Well done - keep going. And well done to those that gave their time to support someone.

A lot of comments here seem to think having a hardware failsafe to backup the software failsafes is the key thing. In fact it doesn't matter about it being hardware. Hardware can fail too. The keys are 1) redundancy and 2) having multi

Games (and books, films, music) exist in an interesting middle ground between commercial enterprise and pure art. Although I suppose most art these days has to sustain a business in some form. It wasn't always like this: art used to be

If you are willing to embrace the term 'cloud' - as everyone here seems willing to do, including the Cloudflare (...) guy - then you have already admitted that you are happy with that type of garbage. 'Edge' seems trivia

Send me an email to fankle@pm.me and we can discuss how to do it. I can introduce you to various people and also tell you about government funding that may have less strings attached.

Hi, yes I have done this in the UK but for electronics/photonics/instrumentation company, not software/data company. A good first step is to find someone who has done this before and convince them (using the value of your ear

Tor is way more secure and anonymous of course, but not at all practical for high bandwidth / low latency applications. Yes you need to trust the VPN that they don't log (your points 1-3). If you trust them not to log, then there

The performance of my network is certainly not terrible when connected to the VPN. Download speed is not noticeably affected and my ping to quake servers (I run VPN all the time, even while gaming) is often lower with the VPN connected. Reg

I could be on the wrong track here, but the MACE ad-blocker built into the PIA VPN seems to work very well by itself. It's not free like PiHole is, but pretty cheap, and a VPN is probably a better starting point for security than a loc
