If I remember correctly, I think the link was established initially with the assumption that it will be good for the UK since it will mostly be used for exporting electricity to France.

There is a lot about the wording of this that I really like. It clearly acknowledges the real cause of the problem, which is basically locally rigged markets, and actually suggests a solution that won't simply help entrench the incumb

I wonder if the data is accessible. What I'm interested in is testing my theory that people in urban areas are more pro-environment.

I've always thought some kind of automated drink mixing system would be good for busy inner city cocktail bars. You can still have a bar where people can sit and watch someone mix drinks, but the rest of the venue can be tables with t

You sound like me. That said I still try to buy property, just not where I live, so I look at as purely a long term investment that will hopefully be profitable in the distant future.

Thanks, you actually reminded me why I am doing this. I'm working harder than I've ever worked, but the influence and autonomy that I have over my side of the business and the rapid changes I am a part of beats a 9-5 in many ways

It certainly resonates with me. Co founder of a bootstrapped startup with a 7 month old son, and office far away from friends or family. I'm working many more hours per week than I've worked anywhere else over my 20 year career, b

I feel your pain, especially when people say that others pretend to be busy for various reasons. They must single. I'm the father of a single infant and co founder of a startup, with no family nearby to support us. Choosing to be bu

I can't help but think this is one potential super cluster of potential unintended consequences, if it ever happens. Net neutrality implementation, or enforcement, has been in limbo for a very long time, and exploitation as a result o

Since this has been dragging on for about a decade now, what has been the effects in the US? Also, will net neutrality force cable companies to unblock port 25?

I don't know about SF, but it certainly didn't stick in London (UK) post the dotcom bubble. Many people ended up either with no work in tech or taking voluntary pay cuts, and the hourly rates for contractors dropped dramatically

Yup, the article also leaves out networking, where developers 'who can do the job of others' are usually the most blatantly incapable of not being able to do just that.

Back in the early to mid 90s most Unix sysadmins I knew started out as computer science students, so they could code (the most practical language being C) but ended up coding less over time.

I spent many years bashing Oracle. Sometimes it's for the pain of the installer being different to deploying open source software, other times it's for the bill the company had to pay to Oracle. Then I actually started working w

I remember someone on the Windows CE team telling me how they wish they had the better build tools like you have on Linux. What was even more interesting was that the Windows CE team actually maintained a Linux distribution because a Windo

I've lived in the UK on and off for a big part of my life. I think there are several reasons for what you hear. The most common is that expats tend to complain about their country of origin, hence why they are expats. The other thin
