I ask friends and neighbours for recommendations for this kind of thing. Given you know the industry, what made you search online in this case?

I read it as saying they are making the same kind of error rather, than a direct comparison. My subjective impression is that the poster is wrong on the point about RMS.

I have the impression these are consumer products so I would them to be designed to be installed by people who do not normally work with electrical systems. If they are only sold to tradesmen that would be different.

Funny you should say hiding in the woods. The closing scene in the film of Fahrenheit 451 is a group of people preserving books by memorising them and hiding in the woods.

I wonder if there's just a mismatch in what 'a beginner' means. Perhaps the tutorial is aimed at beginners _in this specific topic_ ? I have also read 'intro to x' tutorials and had to do a lot of wider reading, I j

There are a great many things that the NHS pays practices for on a unit basis which is very much like them seeking payment from an insurer. The system has a far lower administrative cost than the USA model but the contract management proces

The resistance to innovation in the screening invitations is more down to empire building by low-talent management than to the NHS 'religion'. Dr Ben Goldacre wrote a memorable X thread on a closely related topic some years ago.

Your post highlights how shocked people who don't live in a database state can be when they encounter one. In the UK you can expect to be asked your ethnicity, sexuality, sex, gender, religion and a few other things every time you app

Not on an age basis since we have decades of precedent for retail staff to judge age and not keep a copy of ID. It will have to be on a more blatantly 'we want to be more like the Chinese communist party' basis.
