Scotland, with 8% of the UK population creates more than 25% of the UK's renewable energy, exporting around 28% of its generation. Renewable energy now makes up over 90% of annual Scottish generation with a target to reach 100% by the end of this year. Wales is pulling its weight, with around 50% of consumption coming from renewable energy. Northern Ireland gets 45% of its consumption from renewable energy. The remaining country in the union only publishes UK figures. ;-)

Those foolish countries. Thank goodness we're not doing that in the US.

WTAF?

Alternatively it could be argued that this is the reason that we have a parliament - to mitigate against the undesirable effects of the uneducated masses from implementing poor decisions that seem right in their limited view. The referendum is not constitutionally binding, and until we enact a form of democracy where it is, we're bound by the will of the (presumably) meritocratic representatives that we have chosen to elect in the one case where our direct vote does count. In America one votes to elect a representative to an electoral college. I do believe that there have been cases where the college decision did not represent the majority of the plebiscite but which were considered democratic because of the constitutionality of the college. As a member of the popular voice one may regret the outcome, but one would have to admit that it was within the scope allowed by the legal and documented process.

I'm with you on this (as a D800 owner). I possibly wouldn't have actually used the SDXC slot as I have an even faster USB 3 card reader and faster CF cards, but it's convenient to do so without involving a hub as I can plug a pair of portable USB 3.0 drives into the two (sigh) USB ports on the last generation MacBook Pro and back up my photos from the SD card to both drives using Photo Mechanic. Losing the SDXC slot is in theory okay as there are now four ports available for media, so I still shouldn't need to carry a hub around with me. I would now need to connect two drives and a card reader. The problem is that since we're now getting those ports as USB-C format ports, existing drives will need new cabling or I'll be carrying idiotic numbers of adapter cables in addition to the existing cables. Sure, I don't need to buy new cables with every drive that I buy, but I do need at least a pair of each of USB-C to USB-microB (hard drives), USB-C to USB-miniB (card readers, cameras) cables and I need to keep the older cables around in case I need to connect things up to the previous generation hardware or non-Apple systems. Overall I'm okay with it - four generic device connections is more useful overall than a handful of specific connections (power, display, media card) and two generic. It's just going to require some initial discomfort and additional cost as well as some more thought when picking what cables are needed on trips.

Perhaps it's time for some American 'researchers' to publicise details on how simple it would be to DoS the Israel 100/101/102 emergency services.

Also, now we need to carry organ transplant boxes full of eyes and hands every time we nick a phone with intent to fence it for cash for bad scag. Thanks Samsung and Apple.

I'm fairly confident that even an underachieving, isolated, centrally planned economy of the scale of North Korea's can if sufficiently motivated manage to copy publicly available 1940s science that was implemented in the 1960s. Whether they can simultaneously manage to feed their military let alone their lower servile population during that program is another matter.

Thanks to the power of The Internet (I'm old-fashioned so I capitalised it) I was able to glean that there is a rotary dial telephone on every table, handy for making voice calls but not so useful for Facebook, Pokemon or Reddit. You can even use these provided telephones to call other tables, although the bar etiquette demands that if you do, you buy a drink for the people at the table that you call. In any case, the twenty-first century schizoid terrorists won't be able to coordinate their attacks without WhatsApp so they'll be in the bar down the road, and probably far enough down the road to not be in the disproportionately geriatric single-home areas of Central Hove. You're welcome.

instead of passwords. Sweet.

The US aircraft are, at least when flying over Den Haag.

You could argue that but it would make you seem pretty stupid. There are historic and legal reasons why the state is a United Kingdom of multiple countries and why this is not constitutionally similar to the United States of America.
