Re: The problem with a mono-culture
We are all inbred, and you most likely don’t need to go that far back. If you go back to 1500, you are looking at 2^20 or about a million ancestors.
The population of Britain at the time was 2.6 million and of Denmark 600000, so you are bound to find some who do double duty.

Re: With two-faced "friends" like Dyson, Britain doesn't need enemies
I think this has been discussed before, and I can tell you it is very similar in Denmark.
It should be possible, even in UK or Denmark, to find a better figurehead than someone who has been PM or is royal. Ireland and Germany have managed IMHO.

Sonatype axes 14 percent of staff, reminds them not to talk to the press
Re: Phew!
What annoys me is that while it is not fun, it’s a normal part of running a business to cut staff in some situations.
How about “times are tough, and unfortunately we have to reduce staff to get the business right. Sorry folks, and good luck.”

Re: IglooDame
This reminds me, many moons ago I was on a webmaster course. As the majority of participants were female, I suggested it should be rebranded webmistress course.
The suggestion was thought interesting if perhaps not giving the wanted image. The majority thought webmoster (Danish for web auntie) was better.

Re: Quote from the religion of peace...
Rubbish. Christians _should_ follow the New Testament, but a lot of the more hardcore appear not to have come that far in the text.
My understanding is that you can use OT if the subject is not covered in NT. As an example, JC said pork was alright after all.

TSMC brags of 20TWh solar scheme. Feels a bit like greenwashing to us
Re: Interesting
I think your fun calculation may be pessimistic.
We had a 4kW system without batteries installed some weeks ago and the projected payback time is about four years. This is purely by savings on daytime power purchase, we’re not paid for what we feed into the network and we have to pay the same charge for having the electricity connection.
I don’t think that would be possible if the energy embedded in the system was so large a part of the lifetime production, unless the production energy was close to free.
Better numbers must exist somewhere.
