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 near your house all at the same time, normally fo

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 require a lot of power while docked, and unless they connect to

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, but that requires that they and the dock both have the facil

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 docks where cruise and container ships and moor. They sit the

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 the most powerful exec, and many CEOs seem to come up t

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 that, if something else makes sense use that. e.g.

That reads like the script from a sitcom. Amazing.

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 do, and there is a huge market. It's all small st

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 stuff that we no longer need. In that sense it'

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 developing body does not react to the testosterone produced by

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't think most people distinguish between them.

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 member of the IRA's internal security team. It re

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 informant for MI5 in the IRA for years codenamed

I absolutely adore mechanical systems like this. If I had the time, space and money I would spend my time collecting examples of clever mechanical systems. My mother in law used to be a comptometer operator and I've always wanted to ge

I feel like it would be more useful if it recorded what people clicked through to and then just showed you those. No need to weight this too much, just exclude the things that people never click on.

That really is an excellent (and rather long) piece. I've often wondered how much of the original HHGTTG radio series was really John Lloyd his producer, who often had no choice but to take what Douglas had produced and bash it into sh
