Environmental scientists could also be given berths on board Britain’s warships to conduct research, the paper says.
“We are developing relationships with universities to offer enduring opportunities to use Royal Navy platforms for their research, such as this December’s deployment in HMS Protector with scientists from Portsmouth University onboard,” it reads.
If this “compulsory training” is anything like the dozens of required online training courses I’ve sat through, the sailors are just going to hit “play” on their laptop and then do something else while it plays. If it requires responses, they will just click as needed while doing something else. No one actually pays attention to these things.
Way back in 1999/2000 I was working for a division of the company I was working at before that wasn't based in the UK. As such, while there was a physical office near me, there was literally no reason to go there. I was on a trial of ADSL at the time (2Mbit, and that was amazing for the time) and so, working from home was actually faster than the office.
A few years before, I'd seen the BT engineers hooking up the office's phone lines via fibre (ISDN30). The single fibre ran 30 phone lines, an internet connection and a frame relay for private connection between sites with capacity to spare. I thought that was pretty cool.
I got to thinking back then. Someone (with money) should really connect normal people up to a fibre network. Because that one cable could do many things. You could send your cable tv over that fibre, internet, phone, a private connection to the office (VPNs did exist then, but weren't really the main way you connected sites), and likely other things too. That is, the business would be just laying the fibre and providing access points for ANY service to run bits over the line.
20+ years later we're kinda getting there (albeit OK not actual cable but streaming services. And there's no real need for frame relay any more. But really there's no reason they couldn't do TV with some multicast setup, and vpns are doing the same job).
I think actually BT might have messed up by trying a bit too early with residential FTTP. BT trialled FTTP at around the same time as FTTC if I recall correct (in some very limited areas). But I don't think the processes were refined enough to do this residentially at a reasonable cost. I suspect this is part of the reason they moved laterally to commit to an easier to deploy (at the time) FTTC/G.Fast rollout.
Now, there's a fairly streamlined process the altnets are using and BT are now committed to moving to a full fibre network. But, even being the big boys, they're playing catchup to other companies.
In my area (which is not a city or even that close to one), there's almost a divvying up of the area between the various altnets, and they're moving seriously fast. BT? Not a FTTP priority exchange, so don't hold your breath.
This is going to boost the insurance rates I would imagine. Prosperity Guardian is going to be spending money on protecting a handful of the most risk-tolerant ships/crews. The only other traffic will be non-genocider/enablers stuff that won’t be targeted anyway.
Insurance rates for western ships have indeed gone up already, and I think it’s safe to say that Prosperity Guardian is a complete and utter failure at this point. Yemenis continues to effectively blockade the ships of genociders that try to go through its waters, and US is completely impotent to stop them.
Isn’t it illegal to transport a child to commit a crime? Human trafficking? Kidnapping? What a can of worms. I feel like there’s too much money in fertility treatments for SCOTUS to let this stand.
