I think many people are faced with a choice of studying physics or chemistry at a graduate level and, since up until then chemistry is generally much harder work than physics if you are an above average student, gravitate towards the subject where their ability so far has made life easy for them.

I still remember my introductory chemistry lecture at uni where the instructor said that a whole bunch of us had coasted up until now, and that in his experience those that had had to work hardest to get there, even if they had lower grades, would be the ones to succeed (he was right!)

They also charge differently (extortionately, some might say) for different speeds of data feed, although I'm not sure if they have tiers just for HFTs.

The HFT is wasteful but isn't bad for human traders, they tend to get better prices. It's bad (sometimes) for huge investors (VHNW individuals, hedge funds, pension funds which I guess represent regular people) that want to make large trades without moving the market but there are also winners here - e.g. if Johnny the day trader buys a stock that Texas Teachers Fund is selling huge batches of, he's better off if HFTs are causing price changes to propagate more quickly.

Rice cookers are super lenient with water quantities. Sometimes they "beep" for being done a little early, I've found that leaving the rice for like 10 minutes in the cooker after it's officially done to help a lot with consistency.

Also are you sure you aren't using parboiled rice, which needs slightly different measurements?

I've been using this foolproof method to make medium or shortgrained white rice for years. Quantities for two people:

* One Nutella glass[1] worth of rice (don't overfill, the "peak" of the rice should be in line with the rim

* Wash the rice in the rice cooker bowl several times, drain by tipping the water out without letting the rice flow out. You'll be left with a small amount of water in the bowl

* One full Nutella glass worth of water.

Put the rice cooker on! You can also add salt/coconut milk/etc to taste without adjusting the above.

Handy Cross is the worst roundabout in the country, I hate it so much!

There's also one in High Wycombe. https://www.google.com/maps/place/High+Wycombe,+UK/@51.62697...

You need a cassette inserted, but it can be empty.

I wonder at what density of wind farms they begin to interfere with each other's generating capacity. Presumably within one farm the turbines are sufficiently spaced that the reduction in power is minimal, but how large can an individual one get? Or is the amount of energy they take out of the wind negligable?

Gartner et al. need to be seen as trendy and at the forefront of each industry they are in, so as you say there is never a trend they won't jump on. I suspect there is some value in actually talking to their analysts to work out which products actually work well, and which failed implementations are really due to client problems, but their written reports aren't much more than a list of the biggest players in each sector.

Depending on the article it might still be possible to detach/reattach the tag without damaging the glue interface (e.g. it's on the casing of expensive devices, or fabric etc)

Conspiring is maybe strong, but it isn't in any of their interests to stop it happening.

Long but worth at least skimming. Full of little tidbits adding up to a damning indiction of London's welcoming embrace of wealthy criminals.

> Riverwalk was built by the London property impresario Sir Gerald Ronson, who was convicted in 1990 on charges of conspiracy, false accounting, and theft in connection with a stock-fraud case; he did a stint in prison, and then in 2012 was made a Commander of the British Empire for his philanthropic work.

The main data is the same, it's the primary key which is smaller, presumably a result of the structure of the uuid7 being more regular.

Not sure it'll make you feel better but the initial accident in this case was caused by a human driver.

Car accidents are taken orders of magnitude less seriously then plane accidents, it's not surprise that they released the vehicle that quickly.

Indeed, and you'd hope that AVs would do this. Notably the car which caused the initial incident didn't do this, they hit the pedestrian then drove off!

That's loadshedding.

Agree on the portion sizes. The only time I've been we were next to a table of a college football team or something - like 20 huge guys, and I don't think many of them finished their portions (none of us did, we didn't even want cheesecake afterwards!)

It's a good point that the radioactive fallout is less bad (in some ways) for certain concepts of nature than sharing the space with modern people.

Japanese cities are a lot quieter and cleaner than most much less dense western ones (e.g. London).

I felt like "market" should have got better than 6% related score - investors participate in stock markets, and they often mark-to-market.

The high weight and acceleration seem not that safe for other travellers.

(in the year 3025)

This is cool. I've seen a bunch of farms with solar panels on their barn roofs (which makes sense, they can be a pretty large area) but never over crops.

Solar panels over car parks are pretty great as well.

I take responsibility, you're fired.

Note that "market value"/market cap is a quite restrictive view of a companies size - it's a measure of the value of issued shares, not how big a company is!

Some things that might intuitively contribute to a companies bigness but won't be reflected in market cap:

* Debt vs equity funding - a company that issues debt to raise money will have a smaller market cap than a company issuing an equivalent amount of equity. Enterprise value is a different measure which does include this (and would rank e.g. Toyota higher)

* Taxation differences

* Obviously publicly owned companies won't appear here at all, e.g. famously many oil & gas companies are government owned etc

Nice blog post although the call out to Medium has sadly not aged well!

The screenshot of the "app" is useful because the actual webpage you're looking at probably has a newsletter signup modal, misleading cookie banner, and a couple of ads on it.
