10% of Microsoft's turnover is $28b, 10% of amazon is $71b The goal here is to make sure these companies obey the law though, which big tech companies seem to think is optional.

My union does very little for me directly. Neither does my house or car insurance. I've never needed either. Indirectly though my union does do stuff I'm sure Alec Baldwin was happy he was a member of a union to represent him.

As a union member you have a say over that. Imagine if Mozilla's bosses were accountable to the developers

In a few years todays high end AI models will run on your watch Of course that assumes we maintain open access to compute that we've enjoyed for the last half century, and I doubt that very much. Stallman warned about the dangers of so

The logic allows that to continue because "good" and "better" isn't good enough, only "perfect" is allowed, so instead "nothing" is done

Well you'd like to think that. I agree it shouldn't be normal. Half the tech industry thinks its fine though -- at least as long as it's not the government doing it.

The UK isn't exactly cheap, but the >1gbit packages tend to be in the 70 USD per month range, maybe uptowards $100 a month by the time you get to 5Gbit on the more traditional providers (sky for example)

Nuclear generates the same power when demand is minimum as when its maximum. Take Germany for example. It requires a peak of 45GW of power and a trough of 30GW. That means that you need 45GW running 24/7, with 10% overcapacity for main

The US did not abandon rail, it just used it for freight Europe shifts people by train, not freight. The US/Canada/Mexico is about 10% more than the EU, but it shifts 7 times as much freight by rail.

Making it cheaper for people to fly across an ocean to travel around on mass transit is the last place the price needs to go down.

And as usual the nuclear brainwashed lobby on HN still think it's 1990 and nuclear is cost effective. It can't cope with peaks. It has to generate the same power 24/7 to be anywhere near economical at two-three times the cost

Sorry not sure why I wrote Norway rather than Austria! Obviously Norway has massive amounts of offshore wind potential too

Best way for who? Nuclear is vastly more expensive per MWh than renewables. It's better than pumping stuff out the ground sure, but that's about it.

With little land usable for solar and wind I was thinking that Switzerland and Austria would need it more Edit: Not Norway - Doh!

Median property price in London is £542k [0] Assuming a 90% mortgage that's 487k mortgage That's two people on £70k each at a 3.5 multiple. £60k at a 4x multiple. Two people on £180k would get you a £1.5m house, twice the average
