Donâ(TM)t expect that the Danes are reversing decades long policy on the back of the recent power outage in Spain. This change would have been long underway. Also donâ(TM)t expect that we will see any traditional large scale nuclear reactors in Denmark. The change will be in recognition that Nuclear has to play a key role in decarbonisation but itâ(TM)s the *new* nuclear: Copenhagen is base to two Small Modular Reactor (SMR) companies: Copenhagen Atomics and Seaborg Technologies. The strong promise of these modern solutions (and intense lobbying) will have been tha basis for the new policy.

Have you actually used ChatGPT to generate code? I Work in a large enterprise code covering a large portfolio of applications. While I wouldnâ(TM)t use it to produce unmonitored code for production, itâ(TM)s a game changer in terms of productivity. No more need to Google and review search results for details. I get tailored responses on the use of even obscure APIs. Is it perfect? Certainly not. I regularly get responses that are sub-optimal or even wrong. However I can typically spot that and ask ChatGPT to correct itself. Even with these issues it has helped me massively improve productivity during Spikes / experiments where I typically spend most time.

Banks and financial service providers must by law prevent financial crime including tax evasion, money laundering, bribery, corruption, fraud and terrorist financing. Yes weâ(TM)re seeing our largest banks support crypto currencies such as Bitcoin. A fundamental aspect of Bitcoin is that it by design prevents the traceability of transactions, i.e. it is impossible to trace how you came in possession of the currency, whether legit or otherwise. This, alongside their high valuation, make the crypto currencies super attractive by criminals of all sorts. Whilst technically perfectly possible, even logical, to establish a crypto currency designed for traceability, the one that is winning hearts and mind in Wall St. Isnâ(TM)t. Why? With all the regulations and mandated processes such as KYC ( Know your Customer), screening for politically exposed persons (PEPs) and other steps banks must take to prevent financial crime, it is a conundrum how these currencies are being allowed into the âkosherâ(TM) financial markets and seemingly not causing concern for the regulatory bodies. Are regulators buying time or is this simply too lucrative a business for the banks not to be allowed a slice of? Whatever the answer, unless we see a change in direction donâ(TM)t be surprised for the next decades to become the golden era of financial crime.

Faster than 98% of sold laptops... vast majority of those would be sub $1000 and suddenly the claim is no longer far fetched. But put aside the marketing ploy (and that none of us have actually tested the new macs hands-on yet) the interesting fact is that benchmark comparison to their own previous generation (Intel) laptop and demonstrate factor 3x+ increases. That is remarkable. When did we last see anywhere near that in incremental CPU upgrades? Never. My guess is you will be impressed when trying them out.

I believe it was Tim Cook who stated âoeWe pay all the taxes we oweâ. As a long term Apple shareholder (1997), I think itâ(TM)s time Apple actually commits to the sentiment in that statement. Letâ(TM)s see some corporate responsibility and have Apple pay taxes back to the society that is fair and reasonable; stop letting the tax advisors silly games ruin your reputation.

Fundamentally I don't believe Apple's issue is if there is a button on the front of the phone or not. Think back to the presentation of the iPhone in 2007 and how this leapfrogged any other mobile device on the market. Apple's frustration with Android is that it "shamelessly copies" the core concepts and user interface that they introduced when re-inventing the mobile phone. This is the achievement that they are defending. They have seen once too many how, a couple of decades ago, a competitor started taking their Mac OS UI concepts and almost killed their revenue streams.

I'm personally impressed with the pace in which Google has managed to build an OS that catch up with this innovation. It proves they have a tremendous development team behind Android. I am also very sceptical around the current patent system and the way it can prevent small, innovative and independent new players (as apple / google once was) from competing in the market, not to mention the wider macro-economic effects it has preventing developing countries catching up with the industrialised world.

Having said all this, at the end of the day it should be clear to all that Apple is the breakthrough innovator in the mobile phone business and as long as the patent system is as it is then Apple needs to protect itself / shareholders where these (patented) innovations are being infringed.

Might I add that the Nokia Windows Mobile phones are bringing a new and fresh UI which clearly brings innovation to the market demonstrating that there are clearly more than one way to build a great mobile UI. I will leave that as a thought to anyone believing that Google did not copy the iPhone UI and as a thought for the hard working, brilliant engineers at Google: try to 'think different' - it matters.

Agree with the posts about patents often being restrictive to innovation rather than promoting it. However, when thinking about how one could improve things, the route towards campaigning for patents as a whole being abandoned appears futile given the considerable commercial interests. Now, how about taking advantage of one of the pillars of the patent system, prior art. Imagine a website which would allow anyone to describe an idea at a high level and would certify the entry with a timestamp. This would presumably prevent anyone from being able to patent a similar idea in the future, but allow anyone from picking up the idea, implement it, and profit from it. Think of it as a 'open ideas' repository. Would that actually work? Has it been done? -if not, here's your chance, but you can't patent it ;-)

I was travelling around the world 2005-2006 and originally left the uk without a laptop thinking I'd use Internet caffe's to stay in touch with family etc. I quickly realised I spent too long time getting my camera connected, photo editing software installed, cd's burned etc so the time I arrived in Thailand I bought a lovely Sony vaio tx laptop at a bargain prize. It was a great travel campanion and lasted all the way around the planet. In it's sleeve it fitted in a small daypack so I could always bring it with me (when I didn't feet comfortable leaving it in the hostels). I was doing glacier climbing, liveaboard diving, 5 days inca trail walk/climb, downhill cycling in Bolivia etc... Always carying the laptop with me...and avoiding letting too many people see it when in transit.. I did treat it with care but i'm still amazed how well it lasted. I'd buy the same again today - highly reccomended! Enjoy your trip!
