If I believed in reincarnation I would love to come back as one of Frank Gehry’s students (assuming he comes back). What a remarkable man.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.
I was very ready to query the appointment of Charlotte Owen to the Lords but it seems she is more creditable than some of the old guard who turn up just enough not to be kicked out. Thanks to her, deepfake porn is now a crime. Brava!
