There's many differences to consider before calling it 'waste', however that's capital expenditure and not operational which is completely different.

400 MW not 400 MWh. The power generated by the wind farm is enough to power 400,000 homes at peak. The link you provided talks about energy generated.

The obvious caveat in this is that they could only estimate an average salary. You could state that your salary progresed rapidly during your previous employment, although they may not buy it.

I think the Olympics is slightly different, the IOC normally requires host countries to enact laws giving them special privileges for the event. "Since the Sydney Games in 2000, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has required bi

Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but I was wondering where you get the National Rail train data from. Is it based on the open data from ATOC/RSP or do you have your own agreement from them? I ask as I was thinking about writing a lib

Routes aren't infallible though, diversions occur because of predicable (planned maintenance) and unpredictable (crashes or weather incidents), and diversion routes may vary significantly. Not an insurmountable problem - may even just

Even agricultural jobs you can't consistently (as in year round) do that. Seasonal variations, set-up times and travelling all factor into this.

That isn't a reality due to the massive cost of either options (basically, pick one). Successful mass transit using the roads (eg bus rapid transit) require taking capacity out of the highways and therefore aren't mutually compati

Nice! What caused the 10-yearly spikes for 1900, 1910 & 1920 - was it some kind of construction census?

I've always opted for Ghost.py rather than selenium as I've found it uses less memory and pretty capable. Admittedly my scrapes are normally pretty targeted and not over 10k+ sites. One query I had from your piece: "When I&#x

Really? So you could cut open whatever's holding it, throw all the powder in the toilet (1 kg will be more than 1 flush also), dispose of the bag, clean the knife/scissors and there be no trace? I'm sceptical. The police don&

I wonder if the audio data from television programmes combined with subtitles would make a good training set. Here in the UK many of the subtitles are very good quality (presumably human transcribed), and would be easy to strip out non-lang

I'm a great fan of the going from first principles - but I think it and your post ignores one big part of the reason for design by analogy. A lot of error/bug fixing is evolutional and this knowledge is built up over time through

I don't agree, because when you start dealing with regulations you see that 'loophole' as a term is often bandied around for minor things. Some may even be the intention of the regulation.

What I don't understand is how they don't run out of talent? If you assume students are at school for 10 years (always), teachers for 30 (some dropout), this puts the staff:student ratio to 1:36, or 6% of the top graduates (if as

There is a diversionary slip road for overheights (OHT) on the approach to Blackwall after the first pic and before the second. If you've made it to the second (having ignored a good few red lights), expect to be prosecuted.

The hashing is not for security though, so why not keep a store of your hash + key. Again, added overhead but you wouldn't have to hash twice and you could just use the mapping table for debugging, rather than in operational code at the exp
