Cost wise it only makes sense if you have photo-voltaic on the roof. In Germany there is more acceptance of paying more if there is a (possibly perceived) environmental benefit.

If it's a free market economy why would shorting be banned? When it comes to that, why would naked short selling be banned? Free market means the market would decide on whether they want it or not and regulations would be gone.

Not in the same style, but this is the research that the video summary is based upon. https://www.principles.com/big-debt-crises/

I had a read through this and I couldn't really tell if there was something novel here?

I understand that perturbations and generating new examples from labelled examples is a pretty normal park of the process when you only have a limited number of examples available.

just to offset a bit about scrum being bad: I have used SCRUM over 15 years to run teams and it worked. Most of the problems I am hearing on here are culture problems and no process can fix that. Regarding planning, a day per scrum is normal - sometimes longer, you have to use your judgement to determine when to move from design to implementation. Also, heavy use of spiking stories to learn enough to create the right design is important

what can be very bad is if the database provided api is really just a sql executor - binding you to the database without you realising it. Doing rest, but finding you just tied all your clients to your database representation

I wouldn't say any API. More like, there is a class of problems and a style of api design that models the resources very closely to how they are represented in the database - and you often find them in web apps. The style is quite common though.

it would be strange, but not impossible and certainly suspect practice. You could proxy through your own vpn and then log the requests and take a look at what it's doing...

"i'm sorry, i'm on a deadline"

not really, depends on the evaporation rate of the pheromone. If you increase the evaporation co-efficient it's more suited to a dynamic environment

i seem to remember they had cds with examples on - does anyone else remember that?

it's happening, but there's a lot of work to do:

I don't think groupon's demise has anything to do with investment in technology or otherwise. More, they sold local businesses on the idea of giving away deals on the basis that deal takers would become repeat customers. Small businesses soon learnt that deal takers never come back.

Althought a small sample size, I learnt this by talking to small businesses who used groupon. All of the them talked about entitled deal takers coming in and upsetting their business.

keep going with this - it's genuinely useful - you've actually automated my language learning process.

jobs, green screens, props, sets, computers all built by the director/producer

we've also developed an early version of this. Still very early stages and we aren't making use of all the data yet:

definitely true on the inaccuracy.

however, in the absence of anything else it is an indication.

I implemented this and extended it as part of my undergraduate thesis was back in 1999. I extended into automatically planning carriers channels in 2G mobile phone networks. Always meant to go back and try this out on today's hardware!

ah nice one, no mention of google in the title so I missed this.

do you mean that you serve the dynamic html from the server so that it appears static to clients, or that you render what happens on the client on the server if the googlebot is crawling?

ahh sorry about that. I searched but didn't spot this.

they mention some upcoming tooling that might help "To make things easier to debug, we're currently working on a tool for helping webmasters better understand how Google renders their site. We look forward to making it to available for you in the coming days in Webmaster Tools. "

It's well worth the time to go and watch these. It teaches you all kinds of things about how windows works
