Aluminium designed in as heat sink perhaps? But not sure if this is so relevant in an actively cooled DC setting as passive buried under cables at a home workspace!

I wonder if it is because Tailwind is the target, and it's reflecting default Tailwind font stack. Brackets notation is often used for size values but probably pretty rare to use for a font stack, as this kind of thing typically goes in config.

Policy impediments to use are real! Your data gap-filler approach is interesting though.

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'…

As anyone who’s been near government data publishing or asset tracking works attest - That’s a sure fire way to either publish stale/wrong information or simply lose trees.

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.

That feels sensible to me. Facebook (used to?) do similar.

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.
