I feel for Aaron Swartz, his poor mother, and what the US government put him through.

Here in Scotland, 'ginormous' is normal, possibly more regularly used than 'enormous' or 'giant'.

I turnips were watches, I'd wear one by my side.

Thritto.

This is the main issue. People simply cannot afford to use this extra power. If power was cheap then all kinds of devices would switch to electric, especially heating and cars.

The other issue is that the UK has unpredictable weather and no way to store energy at a grid-level. It can store enough to load balance spikes but there is still nothing to replace the months of gas we once had stored in giant salt chambers (you can thank Liz Truss for decommissioning those).

Without vast amounts of long-term energy storage we will continue to throw away power when we have too much and fire up gas generators when wind power isn't making any (which happens surprisingly often).

I like it, but it's too late.

It could also do with a datetime datatype, the one thing (apart from comments) that I constantly feel the need for in JSON.

Wikipedia is a global resource, edited by educated—often academic—people all over the world. Why would anyone expect it to conform to the US idea of what is left and right? For most of Europe the American Democrats are to the right of their mainstream right-wing parties.

There is no bias to the left. The USA has shifted so far to the right that balance now looks leftist.

This is face detection, not recognition. Face recognition would have a correct name underneath each face.

The focus for these kind of alternatives should be on aviation—with the most difficult fuel to replace. Maybe we'd need this for classic cars, emergency generators and a few other smaller things, but even classic cars can get electric refits. Cars, motorbikes, trucks etc should be electric; shipping needs to embrace sail-electric hybrids; and bio-fuels/synthetic fuel should be aimed at aviation (and maybe as a stop-gap for shipping). My 10¢.

These giant datacentres bring nothing to a community; they only take, take, take. Why would anyone want one in their neighbourhood?

What is the advantage here over compressed air?
