Along this line… occasionally there is official but obviously-wrong data from even WMO accredited providers whose automatic weather stations ('AWS') are busted. Perhaps your approach would help provide a widely validated bound-check? The trouble is often that kind of undetected, obviously-wrong data, is also a symptom of 'we have no money to fix it'…
I’m not in London but surely there is more than 100k in public policy good to be had in promoting trees as assets that are worth stewarding well. Is population scale care for trees with a month of arborist days?
Urban forests make air conditioning work. Consider it an indirect investment in power grid resistance.
They also help surface drainage. Consider it an investment in roads and stormwater.
The risk here is different but you could imagine someone trying to migrate password managers and pasting a script they found on GitHub that purported to help.
2 hours I guess covers a commute, but it’s hardly handheld form factor - how much bigger would it need to be to get “all day wear” battery life? It doesn’t feel like a real spatial constraint, so can only presume >2hrs is not required in actual use.
Most faith communities I’ve been part of have had some form of space for questions and encouraged discussion about stories they have heard. I’ve found probably 1 in 10 people would start a discussion about this and maybe half would engage with it, suggesting community is a big part of the draw but also that for a significant minority, community is centred on some of these “big if they were to happen today” events.
I do think wrestling with our reality to understand the nature of the world is a pretty powerful force for creating meaningful relationships! But this depth can also be uncomfortable or abstract at times.
Centralised IT functions have some bearing here at an org level, not just the wider market. It’s vexed because while I deeply believe business needs would be better met locally, we still want a line of accountability on things like security and availability and data integrity that require a bit of longer term thought. Feature factory thinking certainly exists in bigger centralised teams, the kind that accrete management-speak and overbearing agile processes — but it’s also a false dichotomy to say “just build with the business and nothing of value was lost”.
This leaves the test author with a challenge of establishing genre as test rules-of-engagement.
If they can tease identity out, the rest gets easier.
Less technical folks would likely complain about it, as it tends to resemble the spam that was sent from their spoofed domain (I.e. “re: fake pills” subject lines as the rejection message hits their inbox).
I’m not sure if there is some kind of MDM policy that would restrict locations that are valid for wifi use, but expect it is coming soon.
At this point, unlike Reader, there's real cash behind the functionality. It's possible they could just fold it into Gmail, I guess, but with other mail interfaces like Inbox popping up in the Google ecosystem it seems if anything they're trying not to shoehorn too much more into a flagship product.
My guess is Groups will stick around for a while yet.
I'd assume epidemiology is not domestically constrained: the antibiotic/agricultural practices of one nation impact all others.
I have no idea what is standard practice for domestic agriculture in my own country. Things I think I "know" about agriculture are distorted through the prism of American cultural influence - documentaries like Food Inc., are writ large in the imagination even where these are only concerned with domestic affairs.
What resources exist that document antibiotic use on a global basis?
I've just recently discovered (and love) TileMill.
Parts of the world in my case ~= Sydney, which has a decent number of geeks per capita to contribute. OSM is wonderful, but has a way to go before it's a viable solution for everyone.
