I'm Scots, not British. Roughly 50% of us support independence from the UK.

Everything is tech now. And other things are the value add.

For example, if you are a law firm, or a real estate company, and if your tech is not operating then your company is not operating.

If your Internet is offline, or your local network, then your business is not running.

If your company has a security breach, then you will have massive reputation problems.

If you're a small business, you need to have an online presence with Insta, Facebook, and Google maps.

It's all 75% tech now. Get with the programme.

The conservative obstructionist and scorched earth tactics are obscene.

Nice attempt at shifting the goalposts and shifting blame. And making a false equivalence with nuclear power.

Abolishionists want capital punishment abolished because capital punishment is inhumane, cruel, and morally objectionable.

Clearly Stripe was in breach in this circumstance, and courts look dimly on that kind of behaviour.

I'm guessing in a decade we'll have a viable early stage industrial process, and in 2 decades we have commissioned fusion reactors.

If we don't kill the planet with nuclear war or the climate crisis.

In the UK is 1 KWh is £0.34

So, this costs £28 in electricity to run this experiment. The experiment is a momentary thing.

Clearly there is now some work to, but now this is becoming an engineering problem of how to extend, sustain, and scale this process.

Instead, they are interested in delivering buttons, fields, and streamlined workflows. Technical debt and library upgrades? Os upgrades? Forget about it. They need to deliver value back to the business in terms of faster business processes.

Only when the business is hacked or they fail compliance does the business leadership start to care.

Blaming the people with the hands on the tools is not fair when the business will not give the resources to do their work properly.

It is the biggest tech retrograde since MS started putting UUIDs in to their Urls. Which they largely stopped except for sharepoint documents.

Because some, perhaps many, have abused the originally good idea, does not invalidate its positive aspects.

Also, I do not agree it is a file system. It is a key-value storage system that is leagues better than the win.ini, system.ini, and the prolific ini file collection hell it replaced.

Some form of version control would make the registry better.

Also, auto play of video and sometimes audio also makes it a horrible experience.

There is so much about Facebook that keeps pushing me away.

Knife crime in the UK is a red herring.

That is just not true. BT consumer FTTC is contended up to 40 to 1--that is you are sharing your backhaul with upto 40 of your neighbours. I am assuming that their FTTH services are the same.

Sorry, I don't buy in the fetishisation of that and being instantly available.

If someone needs to get in touch with me, then they will.

Yip, things in London are quite different than the rest of the UK.

While Openreach has to allow access to other providers to its infrastructure, most infrastructure is owned and controlled by BT.

If you want FTTP, the underlying service is still BT Openreach. Openreach is very profitable.

At my previous employer it cost us £30K to have BT put in 3000m of fibre that took them 1 afternoon, then it cost £1K a month for a 30Mbs service.

BT owns provides the vast majority of broadband service in the UK and it is somewhat disingenuous to claim BT is on an equal footing as Hyperoptic, VM, or Community Fibre.

TT and Sky use BT OR infra, and EE, Plusnet, and BT Retail are all owned by the BT Group.

The telecom market in the UK is very consolidated and controlled by BT.

Canadians see the Canadian Royal Family as nothing more than a figurehead of the state.

I am a Canadian and I have studied British and North American History extensively.

Resource administration is a constitutional power that provinces administrator.

The area in white in the below map are not Canada Lands which makes them Provincial Lands, ie Provincial Crown Lands.
