Replying to my own post, here's the blog article discussing the open-sourcing of the app. Worth a quick read.

And why not? You just need to hold your government to more account. There was a recent/topical outcry over the UK's NHS Covid track and trace app for the same sort of reasons. The upshot was that its source code was uploaded to GitHub.

Advocacy for open government works.

You know, for a long time I thought the STEAM advocates just wanted it to be officially recognised that the full expansion is "science, technology, engineering AND mathematics".

I thought it was pedantry, but not overtly ridiculous. Then I discovered they wanted to put arts into it...

The wrong way around:

• Ambulance group founded 1991

• The trolling group founded 2002 (I can't actually link this because of Slashdot's lameness filter).

At any rate, I'd not heard of the trolling group before this comment - I can't be the only one.

Actually, the settlers copied all the originals. There are counties with all these names in Massachusetts. For the avoidance of doubt, the Biogen conference happened in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, not Boston, Lincolnshire, UK.

It's a bit like when the Americans quote units of power as BTU. BTU is a unit of energy (around 1050 Joules), so they actually mean BTU/h, but the 'per hour' is left off by almost everyone. If you know, great, if you don't, well tough - the dimensional analysis will fail.

Because for some users the article may be available. For example, beyond subscription, the FT allows you to read the articles if you come into them via a Google search.

Example: Visit this search result of TFA's headline, click through to the top FT link and you can see the article for free.

Except for the way that fission generates many terawatt-hours of electricity every year and that fusion doesn't work yet.

Both can be right.

Sweden has a higher death rate than its nearest neighbours (true, your graph).
Sweden has a lower death rate than the marjority of Europe (also true).

The majority of Europe is the more populous countries. The UK, Spain, Italy, France, all have higher death rates than Sweden.

Nuanced interpretation of facts seems to be a dying art.

Not the OP, but it is actually 46% production, this year so far.

For reference, the previous years have been:

• 2010: 19%
• 2011: 23%
• 2012: 26%
• 2013: 27%
• 2014: 29%
• 2015: 33%
• 2016: 34%
• 2017: 38%
• 2018: 41%

• So it's clear that large changes can be made in relatively short periods where there is the political will.

There's a 2GW link between France and the UK and that's been showing that the UK is recently exporting power to France where they are normally importing it:

It's interesting to see the effects of such a shutdown on the balance of the European grid.

Even better, the GP's values are wrong. The sun has a power density of around (3.846E26 Watts / 1.4E27 m^3) = 0.27W/m^3. Humans are thus nearly 10,000x more energetic than the sun per cubic metre

Mod: +1 (Hopeful)

"If someone can't afford a car, they should go first" - I love the insinuation that the only people who don't have a car are those that can't afford one. I quite often forget that Musk is an American but every now and then, he makes it super obvious.
