I do agree but I think not enough people become aware of it when they start saving. In a sense it would probably be easier on all if the government just said we'll top up your deposit by 25% upto the value of 5k when you buy your first

Indeed. That's before you've even gotten to places like Manchester, Edinburgh and the like. Instinctively it feels like about 2/3rds of people live in "unaffordable to buy" areas. Worse it's probably the best p

Total rubbish, building regs are if anything not strict enough (see flammable cladding, new build house quality) The restriction is planning permission e.g where are developers allowed to build housing. To a lesser extent the large house bu

4k savings gets a 1k bonus per year so; -It's 16K -They need to wait 4 years. The point stands if they are aware of the scheme when they start saving and save exactly 4k a year every year (more realistically it will be 2k year 1, 4k

What do you think of these solutions; 1 - Create a independent body for housing growth "The house bank of England" and thier responsibility is to ensure 0% YOY house price growth by increasing supply to the point prices no longer

I think we can add "high interest rates" to the above list. That is a symptom, not a cause. If we built more houses it wouldn't matter anywhere near as much. We can't have a situation where demand is outstripping supply

There's a difference between 'a company negotiates on behalf of a number of clients and individuals happen to get a feeling for ballpark figures' verses publishing the exact figures of every deal on the internet.

99% of the time it's just a docker container that connects to a database, an object store and redis. If we need to move it then we move it... not exactly difficult or time consuming. There are always ways of half moving things too, for

I think without aws it would be painful to be honest. Use code pipeline/cloud build then either container registry and ecs or beanstalk. You get everything you mentioned for free with either set up. Seriously it takes moments to write

It changes alot. It is not legal to make a 'CUDA' driver for an AMD GPU as Nvidia own cuda. You can see there was a open implementation of this that AMD sponsored until they got threatened with a lawsuit by Nvidia

I have also been doing this. Usually paying a premium for it to be honest. Mostly because of the delays or cancellations that are happening (or could) on Boeing airlines due to lack of new planes, and 'recalls'. It's also ni

We can safely assume that almost 100% of their traffic is settlement free peered so obsensibly 'free'. They do however haul the traffic on their own backbone extensively before handing it over (which will be part of the reason for

Also it /doesn't/ all go back to openAI. Microsoft for example will make 100X ROI.

'fair pricing' yet no actual, you know, pricing, was such a red flag I didn't even ask for a quote. It's a massive shame that simple table stakes features are behind "get a quote". Folks, I'm not even sure

These maths are quite theoretical! In reality in a 1:32 PON you'll typically use somewhere between 14 and 30 ports (because typically you want to leave at least one spare port). In rural areas the lower side of that is more likely as y

This is really not true in practice. 1:32 split gpon in theory can do upto 20KM but in practice with a typical number of splices, reasonable optical budget and so on you are looking at maybe 15KM. 1:64 xgspon is really only good for about 6

Aws is not a sensible place for general compute even if arm where 10x as performant as the intel equivalent and you were using reserved instances.

That was horrific and so deeply tragic. Without diminishing that I would say this kind of event is extremely exceptional and there's an enormous bar to a police officer even carrying a weapon in the UK and that was an Mi5 failure.

I'd argue a "Pride flag swastika" is a bit more than "current government opinion". JFC. I'm honestly not seeing the problem here.. The fact this is getting up votes is nuts

Living in London almost all my life I sometimes feel like I live in a different country when I read stories like this. I just genuinely can't imagine this happening here. Totally mad and I can't believe the officer followed his bo

The building by hand thing is a bit of distraction to be honest. In the UK we already know we can build 'ok' housing for £2k per sqm, all in. Land is a minimum of /Half/ the cost of a new build house, and frankly that is

They also allow 5 profiles. I don't know why one person would have more than a single profile. What the actual plans seems to be is to keep multiple profiles and multiple streams but insist that users of a plan are "in the same ho

Just make the maximum number of profiles and max concurrent streams(screens) one. Sure people could share a password but they also share watch history, progress in episodes and so on.

Walk on the left, which is enabled by people standing on the right. Quite simple IMO, but maybe that's just because it's ever been thus!

I suppose it depends on what your definition of express is, what you're used to and so on. I think most people in that part of the country equate express to 125mph trains, that are either direct or 'more or less' direct.. whi
