> UK has a lot of onshore wind energy potential that was banned from development to placate the shires. That ban is no more.

there hasn't been a ban since 2021:

> In 2020, the Boris Johnson-led government decided to permit onshore wind power, and since December 2021 onshore wind developers have been able to compete in subsidy auctions with solar power and offshore wind.

> Doesn't the UK have some of the highest electricity prices in the world?

no.

> They're on trend to drop below the world average for energy availability per capita too according to ourworldindata.com

it's not energy availability. it's energy use. and yes, energy use should come down worldwide over time.

that’s not how it works. you can’t build long term wealth just by copying. this is why both china and japan had to innovate.

agree. but competition will always trump protectionism in the long term.

> but now the market is mature with less untapped opportunities

at a macro level i don’t think things stand still waiting for the europeans to catch up. i think things are moving extremely fast and you either adapt or “stagnate”.

fine is suspended. it will take 4 years of appeals :)

this take is naive.

building alternatives takes time and resources. the EU has neither.

a diverse, competitive tech ecosystem with both EU and non-EU players is better than a protectionist approach.

hoping for an exodus of major global players when you’re leapfrogged by both China and the US…

i guess we’ll hear more about this in 4 years.

> that's not the culture EU has

this has not been my experience at all. i see them supported everywhere in london. and even supported in cornwall recently.

not so in the UK, especially London. strong presence. they’re accepted even at local shops where they dropped their fees in order to encourage adoption.

> the risk of failing the compliance checkbox it satisfies is paramount.

i'm curios as to what compliance is there to be satisfied to necessitate such a hardcore measure?

> - Services at London Stock Exchange disrupted

just their news service.

> The London Stock Exchange says it's working as normal - but says there are problems with its RNS (regulatory news service).

> "RNS news service is currently experiencing a third party global technical issue, preventing news from being published on www.londonstockexchange.com," the statement says.

> "Technical teams are working to restore the service. Other services across the group, including London Stock Exchange, continue to operate as normal."

> My guess is you haven't worked much in the private sector

the waste in the private sector is nothing compared to the public sector. you have no idea.

> Elon Musk just got Tesla to pay him $50 billion. For what, exactly?

for this: https://fortune.com/2021/03/16/elon-musk-net-worth-tesla-sto...

a computer yes. a device that you carry everywhere, that you drop, that gets stolen etc etc less so

> The point is that most people who will buy a $700 Chinese drone will buy a $1000 US drone if that's all they can get.

the time when the US could actually decide this sort of thing at close to planet scale is long gone. if you ban those devices, there will be countless other nations (including close friends of the US) where you will be able to buy them no problem.

not being accustomed with microsoft products i initially read this as copilot “plus” pcs.

yes, i remember this:

i think you need to prompt it to use statistical analysis. it will then run python to figure out the result.

interesting. thanks for the reply. i also used to have lots of tabs open till i realised i need to organise better. since then i keep a few tabs open at max and regularly close all my tabs. i also tend to open a tab, read what i need to and then close it. no more clutter this way.

> However. This is the holy grail of computer usage

i’ve seen this often and i’m trying to understand the issue. i have never wanted to go back in history or have a comprehensive history of all my actions. the only exception is the terminal and for that ctrl+r/history is more than enough. i learn, apply and move on.

what’s the use case for this recall thing?

there’s no PS Store in those countries. that’s why people can’t play it.

of course, and this is a valid proposal. but that was outside the remit.

my task was to rectify an issue in one of these crowd sourced lists of ad servers.

they were blocking a whole domain instead of blocking the ad-serving subdomain.

the issue was rectified, the main domain was replaced by the ad-serving subdomain.

yes, one of my clients was hit by this and i was tasked with solving the situation.

i had to create a ticket in a repo explaining why blocking a whole domain instead of a single subdomain was actually pretty bad. they approved it and reverted the change.

finding where exactly i had to open the ticket and what to write was a “down the rabbit hole” experience.
