There's an excellent book just out about this and how the US has taken over the UK business world: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/199503848-vassal-state

Self-checkouts, like many problems, seemed to be solved when I visited Japan. They have 3 stations, 1 where an employee scans your items and then puts them back into a new basket. They then direct you towards (one of many) terminals where y

This is an excellent podcast around the Dunning-Kruger effect, how we can all be afflicted by it, and what it actually means. Setup around a (true) airline hijacking. https://timharford.com/2021/03/cautionary-tales

The demand for a Tesla at $25K is going to be huge. Given previous manufacturing delays, I wouldn't expect them to anywhere near keep up. Therefore although they could sell at $25K, due to the insane demand they may as well sell at $30

It's suspected that this mutation arose from a single patient who had a long case of COVID-19. Here's an interesting pre-print study on an individual (not the one from this mutation) who harboured many mutations over a 101-day per

For those (like me) who are looking for some more details of this new strain, I found 2 papers from the `COVID-19 Genomics Consortium UK (CoG-UK)` of great interest. It seems like the prime reasons for concern are increased frequency of mut

They didn’t reject the bidders because of the materials, they were rejected due to the overall bid price. They had a budget (£8 million iirc), most came in at ~£11 million except the winning bid which was at ~£9 million. They then engaged i

There certainly is! Initial architecture selections were based around appearance and price, and in fact specified a zinc fire-resistant cladding. But due to ‘value engineering’ (read: cost cutting) this was switched to aluminium (flammable)

Corporate witnesses who do testify are immune from having their own admissions used against them in a criminal proceeding. Though it’s worth noting things said about others can be used against said others. https://www.independent

I would highly highly recommend this podcast. I've listened to every single episode from phase 2 (from episode 114), and a large majority of those from phase 1. I believe listening to this podcast should almost be mandatory for any eng

A common trick the universities use is to tell candidates that they'll upgrade them from a conditional (e.g. AAB offer) to an unconditional offer if they make that university their firm choice within X days. I believe it's a way f

It does look at all Harvard students, however the analysis is done from a racial point of view, in-line with the original law suit.

Use what works for you. Personally I frequently switch between the two as I find that light mode works better in the day for me, while dark mode is better in the evenings/night.

In the UK we have similar questions of plotting and describing geometric functions, however we were simply taught how to plot them by hand, or just directly interrogate the equation to spot where an asymptote might be, roots etc. IMO this g

It’s worth noting that ‘established technologies’ have not been eligible since CfD round 2 in 2017. This includes onshore wind, solar PV, energy from waste with CHP, hydro (>5MW and <50MW), landfill gas and sewage gas technologies. [1

Mechanical simplicity and standardisation. The windscreen wiper is very likely to be outsourced to a 3rd party company, and they can reduce costs by having a repeatable design. In terms of a blade going on a straight line, it’s much easier

Both sides are now at a point where they feel like the other is trying to stage a coup. The remainers believe it is a coup that the PM has suspended parliament seemingly in an effort to bring the country closer to a no-deal Brexit. The leav
