Wind and solar won’t do it alone but I think it will become the primary energy source for electricity production. It probably will be supplemented by natural gas, coal, oil for the foreseeable future. These source have much less capital req

What about the name, website, marketing, contacts etc.? Is that just being given up or is transferred to the new company without you?

I do a bit of work in Angular (2+) at the moment. And that involves a lot of boilerplate code; in fact so much that the framework comes with a tool (ng generate) that generates the code for you. A single component is split in 4 files and ne

Judging from the incredible press, it would be amazing if the management can hold the company together and it actually exists in 3 years.

In general I write unit tests as I implement. I would not write them unless I was convinced they were immediately beneficial to my productivity. Some parts of my code is not covered. In the beginning the test cases just outputs the result t

Boo - this is clearly excellent work by someone with both engineering and design skills. If no-one pushes the envelope then what a sad and boring world we would end up in.

As 2008 demonstrated so painfully. Iceland is extremely vunerable to misconduct in its financial sector. A population of just 350,000 people; a free floating currency, outside the EU. Main industries are fishing and a tourist boom driven by

One would think that Iceland would have learn to reign in their financial sector after 2008. But hey, maybe they just like it like that up there ...

Copenhagen. I would say the big difference is that in Australia (or least Brisbane where I was) laws against littering are actually enforced. And public drinking is a lot more regulated.

Reminds me of the article about "cancer-prone personalities" finally being classified as junk science which just dropped off the hn frontpage. We really should be more generous with the word bullshit.
