It's a big issue there but it's very localised to that specific area (which is itself in the bottom 25% of areas in the UK). They are like having a whole load of idling lorries sat…

Cruise ships certainly used to moore up in the Greenwich stretch of the river at the and a few years ago there was quite a lot of coverage of the issue around it. Cruise ships requ…

There are still cruise ships that dock, and they have been a big issue for local kids. They use a lot of power while docked. I believe the solution is to hook them up to the grid, …

The other striking aspect for me is how, as has often been the case, those most affected are the poorest. Levels of asthma in London are highest among kids in the vacinity of the d…

Ah, sorry, I missed that.

In this case it's not communication, it's using the school buses as power supply From the article: > V2X technology, which lets vehicles feed power back into the grid, is currently…

Aha, I did wonder. The language was just so spot on. Keep up the excellent work.

I love how closely this matches how GDS built flows work, not just the visuals. The careful step by step pacing, the direct wording, it's all absolutely spot on. Perfect.

a) That is a fantastic way to put it. It does feel like the whole world seems focused on just moving money around b) I really must make the time to watch The Wire.

I feel like a portion of it is the way that many/most companies have been captured by their finance departments. Everything is accounting. The CFO in many organisations has become …

I've always appreciated Ada's approach to arrays. You can create array types and specify both the type of the values and of the index. If zero based makes sense for your use, use t…

That reads like the script from a sitcom. Amazing.

I moved across country and left all my friends behind at the age of 9, The Sign was a hard watch. I was those kids. I can still remember my reaction to being told we were moving (I…

In the UK Craigslist was never really a thing. eBay is too complex for many of the things people sell. My wife sells a lot of our old stuff on marketplace. It's quick and simple to…

It's frustrating. They have completely stomped every other marketplace in the UK. Things like Gumtree are ghost-towns in comparison. I don't use it but my wife has sold loads of st…

Great, thanks I will have to check them out. A UK firm would be perfect as a brit, but just not-US is great.

Who do you host with btw? I'd love to avoid the big US SaaS providers if I can but would like something a level above a VPS, especially for database.

Perfect timing. I've been working on a little side project which is getting close to actually being done. Being able to use at least one non-US company for it will be great.

Just to add one more wrinkle to the link between DNA and the presentation of sex, there is also androgen insensitivity syndrome, in which the person has a Y chromosome, but the dev…

Thanks, I hadn't known about the connection. It's a great film.

I am convinced Just Stop Oil are. Everything they do simply makes people angry at the environmental movement. XR seem to be trying to distance themselves, but it's too late, I don'…

Aha, thank you.

As I mentioned in another comment, one of the most amazing examples of this was the British Army/MI5 mole inside the IRA, Freddie Scappaticci, codenamed Steaknife. He was a leading…

I've been struck by how often it is really quite senior people within criminal/terrorist organisations are the ones that get turned by the various agencies. In the UK, there was an…

Well that is delightful! Especially as I've always really like that song. The world needs more of that.
