But hang on, Cook has Vision _Pro_!

I’d echo some of the other comments that the first priority should be to find ways to stop further damage rather than adding another human impact that attempts to mitigate previous…

If you’re scraping the estate agents’ sites rather than striking licensing agreements, I can see how you might justify analysing the images to build a property profile but when you…

According to the source statistics at gov.uk there has been an 8% increase in vehicle miles but a 5% reduction in deaths over the period 2013–23. Unless you adjust for the increase…

That is in theory, not in practice. While it is possible to use WordPress for free without any paid plugins, most professionals/businesses using WP do so for the extensibility and …

Very exciting until they figure out the jet is just a Starlink satellite passing in front of the telescope.

Yes, because the roads were used for driving herds of cattle or sheep.

And because a little black book might be carried in a pocket and potentially misplaced or stolen, some teams use a system of small self-adhesive pieces of paper, each with just a s…

A printer’s guillotine that cuts hundreds of sheets at once has a diagonal blade.

I read that as Google ‘Stopping Coding’ Competitions, which would hint at the process by which they kill all those projects.

The first news story I saw about this only mentioned the amount. I assumed it was one-off for a new app, or maybe annual. Per month is crazy. I don’t object to subscriptions, but i…

Yes, I wasn’t suggesting that this solution was more efficient, but that solutions that are more efficient than what they replace are what we should be focusing on. It’s fine to sa…

The article doesn’t say it explicitly, but I’m assuming it heats water on demand, rather than heating a tank which immersion heaters do. You can buy a resistive element electric sh…

I remember seeing an episode of Tomorrow’s World (BBC) in the 1980s where more or less this system was used to generate electricity from anywhere there was a change of water height…

Of course there is often opportunity coming out of catastrophe, though I doubt the displaced people would see it quite like that. In reality, sea level rise (barring any sudden shi…

Meaning that social impact is prioritised over profit. There’s still no constraint on making profit, and there is the same potential to be financially successful. Many, if not most…

A ‘not-for-profit’ does not mean it doesn’t make a profit. It means that profits generated are used to further the purpose of the organisation and not, for example, for shareholder…

It’s only taken the last 25 years to add 30% to the human population, and the rapid increases of the last 50 years owe a lot to reduced infant mortality and people living longer. S…

I’m sure that’s true, but if you have poor teachers or poor administrative policies/systems then you have a much bigger problem. As a lecturer that has used TurnItIn (because it wa…

> Yes, trust and honesty. That is what's wrong with WhatsApp. The quote was it made WhatsApp “potentially more dangerous”. Bad information spread through a trusted relationship can…

No, schools are not parents. Acting in loco parentis means acting in the place of the parent while they aren’t there, not becoming the parent. It places a duty of care to safeguard…

While I agree with your points, I’d reframe them slightly: it’s a sucking chest wound of teenage mental health. Schools are having to deal with young people who come to them with p…

I wouldn’t say the _whole point_ becomes moot. As you have to have a legal basis for each type of data that you are storing or processing, relying on different legal bases can add …

I wasn’t aware of the click to chat function, so I checked it out. On the Whatsapp website it gives clear instructions on how to place the link on your website. It’s a hyperlink th…

Sure, and humans have hardware exiting the solar system. A very different story to put a person there.
