Interesting, I did not know that. Makes me wonder if we're compounding infertility issues into the future if this is done at scale. Not saying that's right or wrong, but it's worth thinking about.
Right, exactly, that's my point. We're building in a dependency for future fertility on these advanced techniques (again, assuming the scaling theory is true).
I was thinking it reminded me of a LinkedIn inspir-tizement post, but yea, also feels like a Reddit lecture. It reads like it is trying desperately to hold the reader’s attention while they are simultaneously driving a car and in another browser window scrolling through brainrot TikTok videos.
Well, only if you think the IRA/Sinn Fein should set UK foreign policy. We could have implemented an (EU-requested) north/south border in Ireland. Or not implemented one at all.
The signatories to the GFA include the US as well - if you want to rip up the GFA to install a hard border you have to own the second order effects of that.
Or decide that Brexit was never going to work the way those who peddled it said it would.
I don't think we will be making much of anything in the UK until energy prices come down, which is unlikely to happen with little new nuclear coming on stream and fracking new North Sea oil being banned.
The good news is though that if EG steel manufacturing moves to China and starts using cheap coal fired energy and selling back to the UK, it helps the UK meet its Net Zero targets.
I worked at Lotus, and then in banks doing Lotus Notes apps. It really was super simple to create a simple line of business app with minimal coding, proper security, workflow etc.
Writing Notes/Dominos apps was my first 'programming' job (if you ignore cutting and pasting random javascript into HTML files...) back in 97. We created a whole suite of in house apps that basically ran the business, including making most of them available as web apps for people who didn't have the Notes Client. It was so fast and simple do to that even a 'dumb' kid with only a high school education and who barely knew how to program could be instantly productive, I honestly can't think of anything that can really match it even today.
I've always been slightly confused why they insisted on selling it as a mediocre email client rather than a quite fantastic RAD tool.
I can offer only second-hand knowledge, but I was told at the time that Lotus was intending to keep the RAD aspects and drop email from it completely, leaving cc:Mail as a standalone product. But IBM came along and wanted to modernize their email system, so Lotus took a deal to take the direction IBM wanted because it also brought massive marketing and consulting power and could drive adoption better than Lotus could.
