Largely because most of the trade strategies live in ancient xls files no one dares edit.
Wonder where I've heard that before.
You literally can't store enough energy in batteries to power the network. Yesterdays demand for SA was [0] 218,247,760 kWh. At even the most optimistic battery price no one has ever managed to achieve as scale of $100 USD per kWh betteries that's $21,824,776,000 (21 Billion Dollars) for one state, in Australia.
You need to double or triple that to deal with summer heat waves, having enough storage to deal with intermittent renewables etc. You'd be looking at $200 billion for SA alone, with 1.7mil people, to move to battery power, without any of the infrastructure change.
Oh and lithium ion batteries lose half their charge every 10 years or less. So you will need to invest $100 billion every decade. That's $128,381 per person in SA to move to battery power once, and then $6,419.05 per year to replace the lost capacity.
This is a pipe dream wilder than cold fusion.
If voting doesn't matter why would giving women the vote matter?
For those able to put words in order that article would take 15 minutes to write and 5 to proof read.
>Of course you have the right to dislike tattoos, but that doesn't give anyone the right to tell someone they suck for something they chose because they like it.
What would you do if the author tattooed that piece on themselves? You now can't tell them they are wrong for hating people with tattoos because it's a tattoo.
That the robber baron who owns the papers can say what he wants doesn't mean much to the man who is a black list for the rest of his life.
Freedom of speech is not freedom of consequences indeed.
If the rich are willing to pay a premium for the top floors of a building forcing them to share the building with the poor will make them just build their own.
Better yet, have incredibly punitive taxation for this so it becomes even more of a social symbol. Then use that money to improve the lives of people living in the lower floors instead of doing meaningless gestures.
That seems like hyperbole unless you live above a shopping complex.
My day job is engineering in systems that kill people or cost billions of dollars if they go wrong.
I'm never going to ask you to code something on the fly other than hello world, a loop to print 0..9 and maybe a recursive function to print 0..9. You can't think deeply enough about a problem in one hour, or one day. I will ask you a lot of questions about what you will do, how you will do it, and what the possible problems and mitigations are.
A portfolio that you've worked on is great because I can find the worst code in it and ask why it's there, what the trade offs of putting it there were and how you would fix it if you had infinite time.
Listening to dissenting voices only matters to small companies who will die if they make a mistake. Google could spend 20 years doing nothing but mistakes and it will still have money in the bank.
Where do you draw the line at bigotry and perversion?
Homosexuality, transexuals, polyamory, eating meat, necrophilia, cannibalism, bestiality, pedophilia?
There's people who non-ironically believe that each of the above is no worse than any of the others and should be treated as such. Unless you take a live and let live approach that I have never met anyone in real life admit to you will want at least some of those criminalized.
There's a reason why developers move to one of a handful of cities to be productive.
A 50k developer in 1980 should be making 260k today if they just following the growth of the economy.
Fortunately for us programming has been and always will be about the transformation of text into other text with a context sensitive grammar. Something that can't be automated and will always fail. Usually with people dying as the catalyst for on-shoring jobs again.

Basically there are parts of every workload that needs to be run sequentially, there will be a point where running more smaller functions will be less efficient than running one large function.
