The public execution is probably more common in human history than it's prohibition so from a human nature point of view, we are probably the odd ones. However, look at the popularity of clips coming out of the Ukraine war - grenade dr

I've used it but I forget it exists. I wish smoking was like that! I'm not sure what the addictive element is meant to be. The reviews are poor enough to just be a waste of time I regret looking at. I mostly read non-fiction histo

Absolutely I do. It's an excellent experience to me. I've never enjoyed e-ink. First up, excellent ergonomics. The screen is on a natural stand. I hate holding up a tablet/e-reader and always trying to rest it on something. I

I don't think I would want this over the git repo I currently use. - I just sync the repo to get everything for offline use. Excellent offline access is x100 more valuable to me than anything a web interface could offer. Stats and Anki

Nah, the OP is talking bollocks. The angels I know are all middle/working-class entrepreneurs. There is no upper-class conspiracy holding people back, there just isn't much money. Non-Brits don't really understand that class

As a project, neat work! But otherwise, it seems a rather self-centred tool and I don't think I would relish someone using it in a meeting with me. Feels like someone is making me watch them play with their toys and I would question th

That's naive. Such leaks are typically planned PR. I expect it is leading to another round of fund raising. They are described as a money incinerator that has already run through the alphabet of rounds. They want to counter that withou

I can't believe people like Luke have no equity for decade+ of grind and now CTO. No union, no equity, poorly paid, sweatshop with added sexual harassment. Made all the worse by how regularly he brags about how much money he has while
