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.

> in a matter of 5 years or so

Wouldn't anybody master a language in 5 years? I'm assuming you're talking about a situation where you are immersed in the language.

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.

> The biggest story in tech no one’s talking about

Is this not an old (3 years), well reported story?

> Society has long preached that things like reading books is great for kids

Wasn't always the case, Plato felt it would dull your memory.

"They will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks."

Bingo, right now, I use Kapwing for basic video editing, very easy to do the basics and the results are good enough for what I need.

No way I'd spend the time to come up to speed with Adobe to do the same things.
