Content moderation is another one - farm it off to an external entity like Accenture to manage and you are at arms length from putting some poor content moderator in front of some pretty disturbing content.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not?

> Perhaps the Giant Redwood is an ideal tree to re-introduce as we are told that our climate is beginning to return to these types of conditions.

One of the justifications for reintroduction of Redwoods is a real gem.

Seems to work well based on a quick trial on the web site.

Annoying that I seem to have to download the app to see how much it costs.

Most people involved in tech aren't there for the tech, they only care about money they are making from it.

(And there's no judgement in that, if you make a living selling fridge freezers it doesn't mean you have to care much about fridge freezers)

Sowing wildflowers is becoming more popular here in Ireland. You can buy wildflower mixes or seed bombs but the expert view is to just stop mowing, there are enough dormant seeds in the soil. And those that are present are generally more suitable to the local environment than anything you'd introduce.

Reassuring as you say.

OAG aggregate timetable data from airlines and distribute that aggregated feed.

You'll note their data is "seats" not "passengers" i.e. if an A380 flies from London to Dubai they count that as 525 seats as opposed to however many people took the flight.
