It isn't Iraq especially in the sense that Iraq had no where to go. On the other hand Russia can get the ** out of Ukraine and then carry on (more or less) as before. Yes, their economy is totally doomed now because it depends on energ

I think it's more likely that he retires to the country. Precedent matters if you may be on the other end of it in months/years. Also retirement to the country is not forever, which again is useful in political struggles to come.

I think that the bull market was definitely created by QE - there were some bloody days on the market in 2008. It was a massive bail out for the financial sector. Did it work - we will see, current signs are not good.

But it does provide some interesting ideas about measuring new contributions and identifies them in the combination of electronics and domains of industry.

This would be the radical monetary policy experiment called "avoiding a depression by preventing the financial system from collapsing"?

As per other comments - this isn't a decline in productivity, but a decline in growth of productivity as the tech is adopted. But I would argue that the internet has made people far more productive in many ways. Especially software peo

I am so sorry. I hope you can take a lot of comfort that even with hindsight you feel that your decision was the best one that you could have made. I imagine your sister would have agreed and would have understood. We never know the storms

The reason for this though is that we do have a marine gas terminal infrastructure... unlike Germany.

One thing that this will do is accelerate the move to domestic solar in the UK. With a battery it's pretty viable already, throw in the possibility of 0 power it becomes pretty compelling - if you have the cash.

There are lots of jobs in the UK right now - in fact there is a labor shortage. What we don't have is large domestic natural resources, or access to the global market guaranteed by force of arms. We used to have that, but we had to giv

Are you sure that this has nothing to do with the war in Ukraine? If it is down to the Tories then they have really screwed up the EU as well! https://www.iamexpat.de/expat-info/german-expat-news/energy-...

yeah.... it's not good, but it's better than the alternative. And, if we wiggle hard we can probably get out of it in a few years. Once we go under the Russian hand that really will be that.

I think that they may have intended that for "phase 3", if Ukraine had fallen swiftly then 2 years from "then" a push into the Balts would have very much been on the cards.

the "energy war" isn't an economic blunder, it's a consequence. It's a consequence of politics and and it reveals alot about what is going on under the covers - but the outcome will be simple. We swap growth and pro

The market that they access is essentially the USA. They got allowed in for political reasons and the USA can tolerate that.

Well, there's one large German Tech company - SAP. But no French or British ones.

I've spoken with Hauser about this - his point (in 2012 when I had the conversation) was that the UK simply did not have access to a market big enough to support a global champion. I said (given the date) but what about the EU and he s

I am no expert, but my off the cuff thought is that buying a gpy and trying to run it as an external for any of those machines will be pretty pointless. First it probably won't work; certainly for the mac you will face driver issues th

I forgot to mention something else - the exact results of QC algorithms are read probabilistic from the instruments that read out the state of the machine. The confidence intervals for these results is important. I do not think that the

The physics underpinning fusion was proven in the 1950's. Since then it's been an engineering problem. The physics underpinning qc was arguably proven in the 2020's. It's not quite done (in the way that fusion was not qu

I also loved the link between the behaviour of the British in India and the turn of sentiment in the Americas. What got me was the link between the tea in the tea-party and the famine inflicted in Bengal. What goes around comes around.

HR finally got smart and found something to do. At some point in the future there'll be a turn and we'll go back to an hour with the hiring manager.

I would like them to find methane & oxygen in an atmosphere. I don't have a clue really, but I think that would be pretty convincing evidence of life. I expect that they are busy looking and we will get a result like that in the no
