I've been largely out of US assets since Trump was elected, and I am keeping a bit more in cash than I otherwise would, so I expect that to mitigate any falls (I expect ~30%). I aim to stay away from other than broad non-US index funds until the US/tech/AI situation is clearer.

BTW, this is not just me grouching for lolz: I run this laptop primarily off-grid, so wasting energy for background fluff on your project seems a triple shame...

That is better, but it still more than doubles power draw.

I am not a fan of huge background animations generally, because of bandwidth and power and distraction issues.

That is a severely wasteful landing page, making my MBA M1 draw go up several fold, by 10W, and stutter horribly in low-power mode.

Maybe don't rip off content and waste server bandwidth and CPU and feeds for stuff that can't even be saved and used? I see quite enough of those hitting my sites and have to pay a premium to avoid hitting bandwidth limits then keeping out my actual target audience.

My children have no middle name, and neither did I or my brother.

"Build tight, but ventilate right"

Easy low-cost low-disruption insulation should be done, typically for the UK draft-proofing, and loft/cavity insulation.

But very high levels of insulation may never repay their carbon (and financial) cost when a home is heated with a heat-pump from a very low-carbon grid. It's the next part of my research programme: "understanding first" vs "fabric first".

(Not for me, but I'd like to hear any answers too...)

Ditto

A mix of uncorrelated or anti-correlated sources is good, so some solar in the mix is good, optimally a smaller solar fraction in Dunbartonshire than in Devon.

But golf clubs are apparently OK.

(ALL of the UK's projected solar PV generation needs could be fitted into existing gold courses with plenty left over, AFAIK. I do not know if that holds for Scotland by itself, but there was no shortage of golfing close to where I used to live...)

Up in London UK.

Contrast is too low for me to read it comfortably. The WAVE tool confirms contrast problems...

Yes, an Epson EcoTank.

Possibly edit your title to start with Show HN:

in London the 60+ Oyster Card is free to use on many forms of London public transport (outside morning peak) but is very much not free: ~£40 set up fee and an annual fee until age 65.

(Spoiler: there are now far more of the latter in the UK!)

Ah, very good!

Woot! All this is doing on within a short walk of where I am right now!

Only giving out a first name is entirely normal to protect staff from malicious activity, eg doxxing and harassment, and if you have recorded the times of your calls should be entirely enough to legally identify those staff members in court if required. (You are noting the times of your calls to them and their approximate content?)

At this stage with an unusual flow of money of that order into your account Stripe is likely obliged to consider Anti Money Laundering and similar investigations for a start, and delay to handing on the cash is likely its main risk reduction tool at this moment.

I can see a submission from you about SE from ~1h ago.

No.

Microsoft was utterly reckless with ActiveX (as with much of their other tech) as I see things, whereas JS has had a lot of attention from people who care and know what they are doing.

I've hired at least a couple of people at semi-social occasions, ie over a pint, the last two IIRC being data scientists.

That was enjoyable for all parties I hope, and a bit weird: a mathematician/quant coworker that I hadn't seen for many years happened to be at the bar so I got him to improvise a couple of questions!

I predict a LOT more complaining about AI, justified or not!

I don't see how a shared currency (between poor and rich states, with the subsidy flows that implies), a national air-traffic control system and the interstates, amongst many other features, are not "socialism".

Fails to mention the existential consequences of continuing with the 'oil' and 'gas' choices: wind and gas (and nukes) aren't just nice-to-have menu entries in an energy system...

I periodically re-tighten such connections in my much-lower-powered off-grid system. 10A is the most I expect to see in any part of mine. I have had overheats from poor connections.
