That's good to know, but presumably that happens every year so doesn't explain the year-on-year increase in March shown in the graph.

Can anyone explain why the number of US passengers increased in a proportion at the same time? Perhaps airlines dropped prices due to the lower demand, causing US citizens to snap up tickets?

No, those numbers do not speak for themselves. Firstly, if you earned £80k and needed a 3-bed flat, you would categorically not try to live in Westminster. The rent alone would come out well over £3k per month [0]. It's one of the mo

> tech-lead driven Would you expand on this please? Especially how it differs to agile. Very keen to learn alternative approaches, as a tech lead struggling struggling with the company's half-baked attempts to go agile.

Yes, true. I had the impression that the tiles themselves were being stored as geometric data in the postgres DB, then fetched and served. But I might have been confused by the article starting "Once you have created your vector tiles.

Not sure I agree; it sounds like the vector tiles are generated in advance of testing the servers. This description is from the linked GitHub: > six open-source vector tiles servers (BBOX, Ldproxy, Martin, pg_tileserv, Tegola, and TiPg)

Intuitively, the richer and more productive a country becomes, the better care they can take of the populace. Education, transport, welfare etc... . Yet it feels like the opposite is happening. We're seeing transport costs and tuition

The USA accounts for 15% of China's exports. That's big. But the US is facing retaliatory tariffs from not just China but also Canada and the EU and others, accounting for over 35% of US exports. China is betting on the rest of

Not if this doesn't actually destroy their economy and gives them even more percentage points. Also the USA has imposed tariffs on almost everyone whereas China has specifically targeted the USA with tariffs. They have much more scop

Emotional investment is a subtly different issue to package-deal opinions.

Might some of that be due to long-term medical conditions (such as cancer or dementia) that were treated less effectively during the pandemic, but which didn't cause immediate loss of life?

We also knew perfectly well that allowing it to spread among teenagers would make it impossible to control. When I got vaccinated it was to protect elderly friends and family, not myself.

Whilst safer in the short term, 20-rep machine sets are not a great way to build muscle. Perhaps something in the middle like a smith machine is best.

This is surprisingly common with Metallica for some reason. Could just be that they have so many tracks that statistically there's bound to be some overlaps. Another example is "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)": https://
