Google should just do what Microsoft did with dotnet. Fork their Java projects, change method names from lowercase to uppercase then give it a new name.

Its kinda weird living in the US where people can't afford to go to university and/or get saddled with huge loans. I do believe free university is a great goal, but free university is mostly to help people start their career or ga

Yes gas is cheaper measured in btu/$. An electric heat pump could be more efficient, but that's not normal for domestic hot water heating. It can be big deal for the environment. Compare "green" solar to heat water is m

It would be great if excess electricity could be used for carbon scrubbing out of the air, or desalination or similar.

Most other countries have a cheaper rate at night which encourages such behavior, eg Economy7 in the UK. The other device is a Night Storage Heaters which warm up thermal stores like bricks that release heat during the day. https:/&#x

Yes I subscribe to my local newspaper. Most days I don't even read it, but there are a few reporters there that report on the local city politicians. If these reporters don't write, I don't think anyone will be keeping an eye

I watched "Enemy of the State" again on the weekend. Its 20 years old and a great movie. It was talking up about what the NSA could do 20 years ago with CCTVs, satellite imaging, bugs, wiretaps, voice recognition etc. I remember b

A huge issue is the stagnating population growth in European countries. Over the last 10 years Germany, Italy, Spain have only barely risen in population. Of course that means lots more retirees and fewer workers. Maybe flat economy is actu

I've been trying to get lots of disparate teams that are experimenting with python to use notebooks for shared, resuable tasks. Its been really hard and I think I'll give up. Intellisense is the big one, modern IDEs are really goo

It would be great if you could install Chromeos on any hardware. I guess Chromeboxes/books/bits are cheap enough.

Rank and Yank. Hire lots of people and get rid of the people that aren't performing. Its great when you're a high performing company that everyone wants to work for, doesn't work if you aren't doing well and people have

Are the people who work for you busy as well? I'm great at taking in all the extra work and not delegating. Often its because the people under me dont know how to do something - they should be able to figure it out, I'm just not g

What are buyers agents for? I've lived lots of places around the world and nowhere else has buyers agents. Its just an American thing. What do they do that's useful and costs so much? Search online for you?

I can kind of understand how people get addicted to Video games, spending all their days and nights behind a screen. I dont understand how you can do the same feeding money into a random machine with flashing lights and nice sounds non stop
