Remember that the human genome project was started in in 1990, completed in 2003. In 2003 it took a year to sequence 80% of the human genome, now it takes a day to do 98%. In 1990 they had the understanding on how to sequence DNA, but scaling that across whole human genome seemed like monumental task.
I'm guessing in a decade we'll have a viable early stage industrial process, and in 2 decades we have commissioned fusion reactors.
If we don't kill the planet with nuclear war or the climate crisis.
I'm not sure what your experience is, but mine is over multiple decades over multiple companies over multiple continents, and in general, corporate management, project management, and business analysts are not concerned about security.
Instead, they are interested in delivering buttons, fields, and streamlined workflows. Technical debt and library upgrades? Os upgrades? Forget about it. They need to deliver value back to the business in terms of faster business processes.
Only when the business is hacked or they fail compliance does the business leadership start to care.
Blaming the people with the hands on the tools is not fair when the business will not give the resources to do their work properly.
The Windows Registry is a pretty good key-value store for centrally storing config.
Because some, perhaps many, have abused the originally good idea, does not invalidate its positive aspects.
Also, I do not agree it is a file system. It is a key-value storage system that is leagues better than the win.ini, system.ini, and the prolific ini file collection hell it replaced.
Some form of version control would make the registry better.
Knife crime statistics include "stop and search" where orinary working people have boxcutters, Leatherman multitools, and Swissarmy knives taken off them. POC and young people are particularly targeted.
>> BT FTTH doesn't suffer from congestion issues (nor does the FTTC).
That is just not true. BT consumer FTTC is contended up to 40 to 1--that is you are sharing your backhaul with upto 40 of your neighbours. I am assuming that their FTTH services are the same.
Yip, things in London are quite different than the rest of the UK.
While Openreach has to allow access to other providers to its infrastructure, most infrastructure is owned and controlled by BT.
If you want FTTP, the underlying service is still BT Openreach. Openreach is very profitable.
At my previous employer it cost us £30K to have BT put in 3000m of fibre that took them 1 afternoon, then it cost £1K a month for a 30Mbs service.
BT owns provides the vast majority of broadband service in the UK and it is somewhat disingenuous to claim BT is on an equal footing as Hyperoptic, VM, or Community Fibre.
TT and Sky use BT OR infra, and EE, Plusnet, and BT Retail are all owned by the BT Group.
The telecom market in the UK is very consolidated and controlled by BT.
No, Canadians do not see Crown Land as owned by the Canadian Monarchy, they see Crown Land and owned and controlled by the government as a public asset.
Canadians see the Canadian Royal Family as nothing more than a figurehead of the state.
I am a Canadian and I have studied British and North American History extensively.
I'm Scots, not British. Roughly 50% of us support independence from the UK.
