I remember as a child being spellbound by David Munrow's TV programmes - and then they stopped. I was too young to know or understand what had happened. Such a loss. It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation I suppose with these i

It's a little sad how narrow the number of instruments in common use is. Exploring a wider range of instruments I think would be motivational for children learning music and for others. For example, I would vote for the return of the S

I think that there is a bit more nuance needed if you claim 100% legitimacy. Winning an election on one manifesto, being chosen by 100k members, and then ripping the manifesto up and trying to implement a set of completely different policie

Two things: - The UK doesn’t have the $ - I think in this instance it was partly the fact that they didn’t seem to be interested in the fiscal position and didn’t publish an assessment because they thought it was bad - so the markets assume

It would be a reasonable comment if Conservative MP's - who are elected by voters - had chosen her. However, Rishi Sunak was their choice. Instead she was chosen by a bit more than 100k members.

Lost the confidence of the market for UK government debt pushing up borrowing costs for government and for others (as well as causing problems for pension funds who own that debt). She did this by launching a series of unfunded tax cuts and

Thanks - I'm guessing that they get a great deal from AWS too.

Could anyone expand on why it makes sense for Netflix to use AWS so extensively?

Interesting and relevant post from David Allen Green [1] about the historical origins of the title 'Prime Minister'. > It was a title that was used just to describe the most dominant minister of the day, the one who controlled

Thanks and very good point - I suppose I was thinking of the phrase 'Solid State Electronics' - but you're absolutely right.

Could I suggest that a few words on what you liked about the Medium experience would be helpful. Is it the editor or the layout of the posts for example? Might help others to guide you to a suitable option.

For me this is the key quote: > Hoff never even considered patenting the microprocessor. To him the invention seemed to be obvious. I agree with him. The microprocessor wasn’t really an invention - it was a ‘technical milestone’. Once ot

I’m not sure the timeline really works for this argument. Pentium was the first x86 superscalar and that was 1993 so it predates Itanium. Rather Intel wanted to leave the baggage of x86 behind, segment the market for higher profits and hope

> The point in contention appears to be whether or not Wikipedia funnels donations to left-wing causes. Did you actually read the article? This point is not made anywhere in the article. No point in discussing this further.

No one has said it's a refutation but it's entirely relevant and not an ad hominem at all - unless you think that his record is something to be ashamed of? As I said above: > So when an oil company writes a report on the viabil

So when an oil company writes a report on the viability of solar power then that doesn't affect how we should view the report? His motivation absolutely affects how he reports on this issue. He's not a neutral observer and so he p

Not sure why accurately reporting his track record of attacking Wikimedia with a clear - and self admitted - right wing bias is a 'vague ad hominem'.

Your edit is incorrect - not a Murdoch journalist as the Telegraph isn't owned by Murdoch.

It's relevant because he's not really disclosing his motivations. He clearly has other reasons for disliking wikipedia but he fails to disclose them in this article.

Slight correction - Telegraph isn't Murdoch. It's owned by the surviving billionaire Barclay brother [1]. If anything though it's even more biased than any Murdoch paper (eg in the UK The Times). https://en.wikiped

Interesting thanks! Do you remember what software you were running? It's easy to forget that a whole class of computer like this has disappeared from the market - a small company would use the cloud these days I guess.

I didn't have direct contact with the emulator (it was >20 years ago and I wasn't working for the firm concerned) but this was in a highly regulated industry so I'd be astonished if it wasn't compliant with any TOS. Y
