some context here is really important: China started construction on an estimated 95 GW of new coal power capacity in 2024 it accounted for 93% of new global coal-power construction BUT, importantly, Coal power's share…
totally agree, technology could make this much more cost effective (or time effective). what's the best use of my time versus the cheaper option.. It's interesting running the numbers though. e.g. if it only take 10…
you can probably work it out but you have to make a lot of assumptions :) Ultimately how much is your time worth? in the example given drcongo's time is worth £1.28 an hour.
When see things like this, I always think of the Chinese proverb "An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but it is hard to buy one inch of time with one inch of gold" Which always says to me that its not worth it…
this seems reasonable but isn't the conclusion a statement what we already know. These tools are really powerful, but with the ability to cause significant pain, need organisations to adapt, so that they can make best…
Yeah that’s another gripe. When is a product finished ..
my 83 year old mother was able to use (almost) all the features of iOS when she first got an iPhone, in 2012. It genuinely changed her life and meant she could participate in a world I dont think she ever expected to be…
ive always wondered why, in "day stay" car parks (commuters etc) they dont have 6 to 8 cables from a charging point that can all connect to different cars and then do round robin charging. This solves the problem of one…
Im not sure that's the case, they've been doing MR-G watches for a long time (29 years) as a push upmarket. Just look at the latest GW-BX5600 (released in 3 days) it has a new MIP LCD panel on a new module. This retails…

just a quick point here; 1.2K is highly statistically significant, even for a national level poll/survey. The issue here is the potential for selection bias, which seems primarily to be driven by people who want to do…

How do you decide what the basics are? maybe you should outsource answering customer emails instead of spending time doing them yourself? The basics is not a differentiator; strategy is. At best the basics is just a…
execute what though? by far the best content on strategy I have read is Peter Compo, a point he repeatedly makes is that the whole execution argument is meaningless without a strategy (and its many tactics, plans,…
This just doesn't make sense. Google wont disallow fingerprinting on companies using ITS advertising technology. I think accountability gets exhausted pretty quickly on this just by thinking about the implications. If…
Woo.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ the 90's is asking for its platform wars back
i just dont agree with this at all. Mental models make no claims about expertise they are abstractions of accepted knowledge and capture the essence of something. They are, after all, called models. Maybe some have…
fully agree with this position. Mental models are just that, models. they are abstractions of a particular classification of a thing, they convey information. they carry no guarantee of understanding and (in the odd…
What an odd article, I have to admit I spent a good while questioning whether i'd got the my own understanding of the value of mental models totally wrong. My first issue with the article is that i've never really seen…
Given China has seen lowest growth in almost 30 years and the US where some positive numbers are hiding some negative stories, it would seem that there is a wider context to take into consideration. The article seems…

Canalys are a well known google Shill. When the apple hit record revenues in China Canalys pretty much ignored them in their market report. A quick google shows that they are hardly unbiased or particularly accurate in…
