Someone just robbed Waitrose whilst I was at the till paying for my lunch. The cashier raised his eyebrow at the monitor but couldn't do much There were lots of middle-class cries of "He's stolen the Prosecco" from over by the door.

There's every reason for providers being able to provide energy *cheaper* for prepay customers because they don't have to hedge the markets as much and have more committed buying power that they can plan for. The promise of smart meters being "cheaper"/"better" is not born out.

Prepay is traditionally more expensive but in this model there's absolutely no reason why it should be. There's no extra meter to buy & no increase in infrastructure or billing costs for the provider. ...and the provider also has ahead-of-time knowledge of how much energy to buy.

Some of us have been predicting the rise of "remote disconnect via smart meter" for some time but this is even more insidious and wrong: "Rise in energy firms remotely switching homes to prepay meters" https://t.co/y6RvvXHmMD

"Running a successful open source project is just Good Will Hunting in reverse, where you start out as a respected genius and end up being a janitor who gets into fights." Quote attributed to @cra, and I don't think I've ever seen anything more true posted.

The Orient Express is in London Victoria again. I've not seen it for ages. It's attached to a Diesel engine sporting the name plaque "Queen's Messenger" along with a Deutsche Bahn plaque.

.@British_Airways How do I get someone to engage with me rather than just sending a form response for something I'm not asking about?

i have been playing around and experimenting with histograms and quantile sketches a common theme is some kind of logarithmic bucketing, so the sketch can store a wide range of values with reasonable relative precision, e.g. 1%
