Homes need more renewable energy tech – here’s how to make sure retrofits avoid creating e‑waste Original
The UK has some of the oldest houses in Europe. Half of the homes in England are rated below band C on energy performance certificates. This measure rates a property’s energy efficiency from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), indicating potential energy costs and environmental consequences. To reduce carbon emissions and energy costs, various quick-fix solutions are being considered.
AI-Speed Risk Requires Identity-Defined Reachability
Why Zero Trust Steps 3, 4, and 5 must evolve beyond patching, topology, and ticket-driven connectivity Written by Philip Griffiths. AI is compressing the time between vulnerability discovery, exploitation, and impact. Patching, secure engineering, and vulnerability management remain essential, but “find and fix faster” is no longer enough. CISA’s risk-based remediation model reinforces the architectural point that exposure changes urgency.

How to Superpower the Supercloud - Part 1
By Philip Griffiths and Kenneth Bingham The Rise of the Supercloud In December 2021 Dave Vellante wrote in siliconANGLE about “The Rise of the Supercloud”. Supercloud describes an architecture (for companies like Snowflake and Databricks) that taps the underlying services and primitives of public cloud providers to deliver additional value above and beyond what’s available from those public cloud providers.
Present state bias in transition ratings was accurately estimated in simulated and real data
Abstract Objective Patient-reported transition ratings are supposed to reflect the change between a previous baseline health state and a present follow-up state, but may reflect the present state to a greater extent. This so-called ‘present state bias’ (PSB) potentially threatens the validity of transition ratings. Several criteria have been proposed to assess PSB.
Unlike ROC analysis, a new IRT method identified clinical thresholds unbiased by disease prevalence
Highlights • Cutoff points based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis may vary with disease prevalence. • ROC cutoff points do not necessarily reflect clinical thresholds. • A new item response theory (IRT)-based method identified thresholds not biased by prevalence. • The IRT method was evaluated using 3,000 simulated data sets. • The IRT method was applied to the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale in a real data example.

How to Tackle Southeast Asia, Country by Country
If there’s one thing we've learned while putting our Southeast Asia issue together, it’s that you don’t have to do the entire region in one trip. The better move is to go deep into one country at a time, and plan to come back. Below, you’ll find our playbook for tackling the biggies one by one. Indonesia Because this country is made up of a whopping 17,000 islands, it’s hard to know which are vacation-worthy or how to hopscotch across the country in a single trip.
Experimental Relationship
The balance of power in romantic relationships is a difficult topic to articulate with words, especially when in most cultures, women are taught to be subservient to male partners. But a significant age difference can throw a wrench in the gears of this standard, making room for subverting gender norms and exploring new ways of establishing romantic dynamics. In reality, dominance often ebbs and flows with time, and as each individual evolves, their relationship changes with it.
Philip Jones Griffiths in His Own Words
“Not since Goya has anyone portrayed war like Philip Jones Griffiths,” said Magnum co-founder Henri Cartier-Bresson of the Magnum president. However, the photographer’s repertoire captures a far wider portrait of the human condition than its penchant for violence (which he did document in its extremes during the wars in Vietnam and Algeria).
(North) Korean Dream
North Korea is a totalitarian dictatorship based on the cult of the Kim dynasty. It is also one of the most secluded countries in the world, and its citizens’ rights are subsumed by the country’s needs. Citizens there have no freedom of speech, the media is strictly controlled, and no one is allowed to leave the country. Within the country, continuous and incessant propaganda against the US portrays the South Korean population as a victim of an American invasion.
Northern Ireland • The Troubles • Magnum Photos
Borders, literal and figurative, have long been a prominent part of Northern Ireland’s landscape. And with a border comes two sides, necessarily and historically opposed. The thirty-year civil war — a chaotic period known as “The Troubles” — officially began in 1968, but the bubbling violence which marked it was laden with deep-rooted divisions. Indeed, the conflict could be said to have begun 800 years prior, when the Normans first invaded Ireland and heralded centuries of direct English rule.

The Battle for Vietnam's Cities • Philip Jones Griffiths • Magnum Photos
Vietnamese lunar new year, Tet, is traditionally marked by nationally-observed, lively, community-based celebrations. In 1968, however, when the Vietnam war had been rumbling on for 12 years, the late January holiday was strategically chosen by the North Vietnamese and communist Viet Cong forces as the date to launch a coordinated attack on more than 100 cities and outposts in South Vietnam, including the capital Saigon.

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade • Magnum Photos
The oldest Thanksgiving parade in the US may be Philadelphia’s Dunkin’ Donuts Parade, but, ever since its inception in 1924, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has become, by far, the most famous. Growing to attract an audience of more than 3.5 million to the streets of New York, it was first televised nationally in 1952. Today it also draws an international viewership of over 50 million.
