  • UK | Supreme Court disability ruling "biggest rollback of disability rights in a generation"

    Jump

  • Actually this gives more rights to people. Instead of saying "you lack capacity so you can't make this decision" social workers will be able to work more closely with people to make sure care packages are designed how they want, and will help stop care providers from being overly restrictive, trying to protect themselves from safeguarding and the CQC.

    It will help reduce the burden of wasteful court applications, legal fees and judges time for the cases where everyone is in agreement. It will help get people discharged from hospital faster into their own homes.

    It doesn't change the situation where a person doesn't want to go into the care environment (supported accommodation or even there own home with care), that still follows the old process.

    This is actually a good thing.

  • The title is "to pay for equipment", which isn't fair, and is almost certainly wrong. "To use equipment" would be fairer. The article is a bit of a hit piece.

  • Just put in traffic lights and a zebra crossing outside the village hall. Problem solved.

    Oh wait, that would cause traffic on the A49 between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton? Oh noes, what will people do.

    No way that's a waste of money.

  • Safety fears as UK hospitals use nurses to cover for doctors due to shortage of medics

  • Yeah...that's an overly simplistic understanding of the process.

  • From the article: "The BMA’s findings provoked a furious response from the Royal College of Nursing. A RCN spokesperson said: “Advanced nursing practice is highly skilled, delivered by expert registered nurses and is underpinned by a masters level education and a comprehensive range of knowledge, skills and capabilities.

    “These nurses are central to the delivery of safe and effective care across many services. They are not substitutes for other professions. They are autonomous professionals, delivering complex care as part of multi-disciplinary teams.”

    Obnoxious is an interesting description of the BMA.

  • Begs the question, what are the parents to do, is being fined for something outside of their control justice? Or is it considered acceptable for parents to physically restrain their child to force school attendance?

  • Owner switches off solar farm powering area twice the size of Tasmania

  • The original post is in relation to commercial solar PV, not residential, which is a power generator rather than power consumer.

    Except via planning law, which is not in the direct control of grid operators (lobbying...), it is not within the gift of the grid operators to stop or agree to the co-location of batteries.

    Given that both solar panels, and wind turbines, arr DC generators, the direct connection to batteries via DC-DC charge controllers (which is the most efficient way to charge batteries) does not have anything to do with grid operators, so their commercial interests are irrelevant to the implementation, if that is necessary to create a financially sustainable asset for the power plant owner.

    For reference: https://modoenergy.com/research/co-location-battery-energy-storage-solar-ac-dc-coupling

    In relation to residential solar PV...which I think you were commenting on, inverters can be set to zero export. If laws are created to specifically fuck over residential solar, the worst case will always be to decommission existing solar PV (say, it was taxed annually on a per panel basis, make it unlawful to self consume etc, but it is possible to set inverters to zero export so one should never have to pay a charge for exporting).

    But so long as one can self consume and batteries are available (note even house batteries could be made unlawful, ie due to bullshit argument based on safety), there will always be a system that can reduce costs unless power costs 0 short of a truly broken system. ie grid operators charge power producers for both over production and at the same time charge users for using), but even then solar production cost is essentially 0: fill your own batteries and zero export once full, then discharge a portion at night if profitable.

    Pumped hydro is without a doubt the most effective energy storage method but requires the right geology and geography, and is only part of a solution. Check the key statistics on this link to see just how nuts it can be when paired with reliable solar over production. https://british-hydro.org/pumped-storage-hydropower/

  • And this is why co location of batteries matters. It's an opportunity of using infrastructure already in place (grid connection) to maximise the benefit.

    Raise the panels and put the battery containers underneath and it doesn't even use more space.

  • ...it will be interesting to read the judgements when when they refuse to pay the fine. And I'd be willing to bet a fiver that a judge says that global blocking is not sufficient to remove a website from responsibility.

  • Running Truenas as a VM in prixmox requires passing through the storage controller and blacklisting it from prixmox, so yes, you likely need the HBA.

  • Oh that's nice. I was recalling figures that were released in the 24-48 hours after the election. Maybe there is a reason to have some hope.

  • Jeremy Corbyn: Labour Is Paving the Way for Fascism

    Jump

  • As much as Feddit.uk does not mention it, in the 2024 GE more people voted for reform and the Tories than Labour and Lib Dems.

    So Corbyn is arguably wrong, and the Labour government is actually only in power because of FPTP, and everything was already in place before Labour did whatever they have, or have not done.
