Thank you Ben! This is exactly what I need for the data science and analytics problems I work on. We import data from a variety of sources via an ETL process, but we want to distribute the data analytics to multiple read-only process nodes.

Nice to see this sort of thing coming back - it was a problem I worked on for a couple of years during my MSc / PhD. I think that there is probably a lot of scope for this type of approach. IIRC a key issue is around tuning the Genotyp

The dangerous thing is not the tank production halting, but the tractor production. If the Russian agricultural production fails and they can't feed the population then it is an existential threat to the Russian State. And they have nu

There are areas of the UK where local property taxes and other financial incentives (some form of zoning I think) to reduce the number of holiday homes. The problem is that local people are being priced out of the areas by holiday homes. An

It's called the Technical Ghetto. The basic problem is technical folks who are too good at being technical to be allowed to do any management or less technical stuff. I've seen it time and time again in my career. I've discus

In the UK we are actively planning in battery electric hybrid trains. The idea is that you can easily retrofit 90-95% of the line with overhead power, and use relatively small and cheap battery systems to cover the other 5%.

That's not the point. The point is that this was an organised event at a time when such an event was illegal. For public confidence in the system during extraordinary times, it is important that the people in charge lead by example. Th

I regularly have issues with new hire data scientists straight out of Uni. Connect to database, pull multiple tables into pandas / numpy. Then start joining to find the records they want in python. Why, why, why ???

This looks really interesting. Not a replacement for large scale (e.g. offshore) wind, but a complement. I work in infrastructure management. This might be a good solution for site power roadside or trackside.
