I hope others realize how dehumanizing this is and actually DO something about it instead of just going along with it. Keep in mind that we STILL have mobile providers touting how "connected" they keep people through their mobile devices. This is what the algorithms and echo chambers are leading us to. Social media and video chats are not real connection, but people allow it as a substitution for face to face because it's easier than real relationships. AI "relationships" will be easier as well. “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.” Helen Keller

What a mess this article is.

23GW to 60GW isn't even a 250% increase, it's 160% increase.

And then 23 to 300 (or 300 +60) isn't x25 either.

For now yes.

When my wife and I had 1 baby we put the baby things in storage when he out grew them.

When we had a 2nd baby we gave them away after they outgrew them.

There is a difference between a short term lack of requirement and long term one. These planes were already parked up. They spent $1B refurbishing the inside recently. This is not about passenger numbers in the next couple of quarters.

Did you calculate that for a full car (say 4 people)? I'm not sure it changes the outcome, but cheapest flight won't be the best times and there is some value to having control of your travel.

I've switched to train - I can do my location in the UK, via London->Paris Eurostar, and onward to W. Europe for not much more time and a bit less money than flying, and my phone works the whole way and I have WiFi. Seats are more comfortable, food is better, less silly queuing (why do people fight to get on the plane to a fixed seat number!), and I can take more luggage.

Yes, but with no new planes immediately, BA's total passenger capacity on long haul just dropped 25%.

Hard to imagine they are unique among carriers. So that's a 25% drop in the supply chain for long haul.

From wikipedia BA Fleet info, this looks about 25% reduction in passenger capacity for long haul.

They don't have any 737. Looks like Airbus wins this time.

Some reading for you.

It's 1000 photos not 1000k (a million).

In 8 years at 10 a month you hit the limit. So it's not really useful for anyone wanting to share. Depends if you think there is value in the free users - they may not pay but they are traffic, which means ad revenue.

Google Photos is a much more suitable option for low photo / month users. You'd have to be a real "pro" to really justify $50 for the storage - so actually the other benefits to Pro are still the main selling point.

It is odd. I choose GMail and Google Search. As a result I buy an Android phone. It needs a browser.

I used to use Firefox, I moved to Chrome as it was better.
I haven't looked at how easy it would be to switch back (stored passwords etc make chrome easy)

So to me Android+GMail+Google+Chrome isn't too much bundling and FBook (vs G+) and Spotify (vsGoogle Music) and iplayer/netflix/amazon (vs Google video) work perfectly fine - which is more than can be said about Amazon or Apple equivalents.

In summary Chrome stands out as the odd thing - it's what did it for Microsoft (OS + Browser) and Google already offer Chromium to the community.

I don't think buying an Android phone really forces any other products on you, but Google do make several awesome products, so unsurprisingly Android users use more than 1.

See if you can install Google on your device, it will let you learn things.

Au contraire Blackadder.

Where we're going, we don't need cables...

40 x 50kW chargers.
That's a reasonably large grid connection they'll need.

They're not truly wild. They live in the managed ecosystems of our towns and villages.

Whilst feeding animal in the true wild is bad, feeding back garden birds that would otherwise fail to find sufficient food in bird-unfriendly gardens (lacking the correct plants and enough prey) is necessary to prevent further decline.

For example:
"House sparrow numbers were not monitored adequately before the mid-1970s. Since then, numbers in rural England have nearly halved while numbers in towns and cities have declined by 60 per cent. Because of these large population declines, the house sparrow is now red-listed as a species of high conservation concern."

Indeed. “Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.” Mark Twain Truth should be self-evident and able to stand on it's own merit. It does not need to be defended and is not culturally relevant. Truth is universally relevant.Our interpretation of truth is what screws everything up.
