The article does not promote it on security grounds:

Might be your ISP's DNS censoring the domain name, it happens to me for different ones depending on whether I am in Spain or in Germany at the moment when I click the link.
It might work if you manually change the TLD part of the URL.
What I did was get the IP address when it worked and add it to "/etc/hosts" so it works when on another network.
> A town, street name or postcode were omitted, but a highlighted note – presumably written by a postie – chirpily added ‘Royal Mail, we never fail!’ to the front of the letter.
I think the note was written by the sender because the handwriting looks the same as in the vague "woman in Cornwall shed" address.
My guess is that it was intended to motivate Royal Mail to figure it out by quoting what might have been their slogan at some point. Now the highlight could have been added by a post office worker as a way of saying "indeed we never fail". The sender's style of higlighting things seems rather to be adding asterisks.
I'd say support a common subset by default, then anything further can be handled by plugins. Then over time we'd likely see more "essentials" added to the default set based on popularity.
At the first conference on microprocessors, someone said "We're not going to have one in every doorknob." A few years later their hotel had electronic locks. Now we've got cpus in friggin' charger cables.
For sure I could write heuristics for parsing each format. I was kind of hoping that ML algorithms had advanced to the state where they could handle messy tables in documents. (By the way if they have, that could be big for the companies with good structuring models. Financial data is unbelievably expensive and a lot of it is publicly available but badly organized, so structuring companies could conceivably eat that those markets as just one application of their tools. Starting with cheap stuff for hobbyists/students who can't afford the commercial solutions).
The complex includes 20 or so funds, so each file includes a "hot spot" with data that I'd like to extract. Within a filing the holdings tables all look the same. The format of the document changes from year to year. Unfortunately the tables aren't really formatted as tables in the html, so I thought rendering to pdf and passing off to an LLM might be the best thing to do. I posted links to a few examples below.
The move to Singapore has been mentioned in several comments but he does address it in the linked piece:
> Some might say: “Hang on, it’s all very well James Dyson telling Britain to support doers and makers, but he took his company’s manufacturing to Malaysia in 2002 and then set up a global headquarters in Singapore in 2019.”
> The answer is worth exploring. In 2002 Dyson was expanding rapidly and urgently needed a new factory, but planning permission was refused. We were able to use empty factories in Singapore and Malaysia.
> However, Dyson now employs about 2,000 people in Britain, which is about twice the number we employed at the time of the move.
