Yes, normally in a case where data were later shown to have been taken incorrectly, you would remove just the incorrect data but leave an unmodified copy of the old data available somewhere. Or, just leave a very prominent note about the change with a detailed explanation somewhere else. You would not take down everything because 1. That would deprive taxpayers of the correct data they had already paid for, and 2. That would mess up the data ingestion pipelines of the researchers who depended on the data.

Some more examples: Saving Private Ryan, All Quiet on the Western Front, The Deer Hunter.

Personally, I would also include Schindler's List.

Roselle St (where Fabric8 Labs has their office) is the most innovative street in San Diego. I don't know what it is about that particular street, but a ton of great companies have come out of there.

Yes, labor is the killer cost of these installations, IME. Labor can easily be 50% or more of the total cost.

Bokeh has support for WebGL. We had to switch away from Vega/Altair when a project hit around 50,000 data points in a plot, but under ~5,000 data points Vega/Altair was still good.

It's actually even worse in SDG&E territory. A kWh costs around 32 cents, but "transmission" and "distribution" are again twice that. The end result is about $1.00 / kWh.

Makes sense, but would this be so egregious that they had to fire him on the spot?

Unless you're just a dyed-in-the-wool Elon Musk fan, in which case it's 5D chess.

Can I ask where you're living?

This is such a wasted opportunity, not just for the US, but across the Middle East. I guess Jordan is availing themselves to some degree, though, but it's also out of necessity, due to the refugees living there.

My understanding is that prior to the Iranian revolution, there were Israeli experts working in Iran on drip irrigation methods. Of course, they had to get out pretty quickly.
