When I was 18 and in my first job, my boss and I installed the very first windows NT file servers for a major uk public sector organisation. They were all named after beers that we’d drunk on team nights out. We had Blacksheep, Tanglefoot, Snecklifter, and so on. They were in a test environment so it didn’t matter. Until they went into production…
That was over 30 years ago now, but I still usually resort to beers.
I’m only on my phone and can’t easily check the data behind this, but a very quick and dirty estimate of number of houses built per undeveloped acre between those 2 countries shows a different picture. Balancing land use has to be a factor, not just absolute number of people wanting houses. Is anyone talking about theoretical population models for different countries?
