Do you not have regular calls with teammates? Sure I guess someone could physically turned up to an office to collect a laptop, be onboarded, get ID checked, then dial in to a few hours of meetings a week, muddle through any questions, rely

It took me worryingly long in my career (like 20 years) to realise that the CTO doesn't care if the technology solutions work, or if they're cost effective. What he cares about is not being interrupted on the golf course. If you h

Depends on your definition of "good". To me it's impossible not to be as good as Chrome, as I define good as not being run by google.

You define a bunch of "constituencies" Farming, Tech, Fossil Fuels, Civil Rights, etc. Maybe as many as 50. Each one puts up candidates, perhaps on a list basis, You give everyone 10 votes to distribute to those candidates. If you

Europe has tried this in the past and the US has vetoed it. The dirty secret is America wants Europe to spend more money with American companies, not just spend more on defence. America would rather 80% of a 100b defence industry than 20% o

European tarrifs on AWS/Azure/GCP would be an option. European tech companies expanding into SAAS is less of a mountain than physical production.

So you want the HN submitter to editorialise to emphasise your political view that the tarrif charged "might not be too bad"?

The headline doesn't say that Any vehicle at 85% is exempt Any vehicle at 84.999% or less pays a tarrif That tarrif may be 1 cent or $100,000, the headline doesn't say anything about that. Given the need for transparency though it

You don't need HSR, just a normal 125mph train line. Imagine you are born in Bakersfield, your family is from Bakersfield, perhaps they are agricultural workers, but you don't want to be a farmer, you want a job in a big city, per

Security theatre. What's the point of metal detecting you on eurostar? You going to hijack the train with your knife? Cars and vans in the tunnel don't go through metal detecters, and you can smuggle a far larger bomb that you can

LA to Bakersfield is 110 miles. That's about an hour, certainly plenty of people do that journey in the UK multiple times a week. Tamworth for example is exactly 110 miles from Euston. In peak times the fast trains stop there for the c

It's not just speed that's critical, it's frequency. I believe that they're only proposing one train per hour, or 18 per day? Feels low for such a long piece of dedicated track. In the UK the existing West Coast mainline

The cause needs to be investigated and appropriate measures put in place. Renewables however can't be the only answer - storage is key too. Wide scale blackouts aren't exactly unknown, no matter what the generation. And while you
