What3Words, for example, would be a great help to all the Deliveroo drivers that can't find my house because it opens onto an alleyway instead of a road. This is in the UK, mind you, not Mongolia.

I've noticed this repeatedly in these vast, sweeping future-of-the-economy outlook pieces. The writer is keen to point out everything that means that the current paradigm is bound to shift, but they never take the time to stick their n

The good folks of tumblr have a succinct counter-argument to suggestions like this. It is, and I quote: "durr hburr technology is bad fire is scary and thomas edison was a witch"

I went to the Pirate Party conference in the UK a few years ago. This method of decision making was proposed, but issue that was recognised was that of absenteeism. What happens when Alice gives her vote to Bob, but then gets disillusioned

I sincerely hope the story gets turned into a quirky British comedy movie. It's the perfect fit.

Do they honestly believe that startups so close to death can actually turn around with a sufficiently high probability that this investment is worth it? If so, all power to them. They obviously know something others don't.

I'm assuming you're getting downvoted for your lack of capitalisation and sentence subject, rather than the sentiment. I was going to sign up for this, but now I won't knowing that their login page has not a whiff of security

One of Evans' favourite debate tactics is to tweet something brimming with subtext, then when someone calls him out on it, takes a literal approach to what he said. It's infuriating.

I'm sure you're already aware, but it's worth noting that Nintendo produce a 3DS aimed at children called the 2DS. There are two key features of the 2DS. 1. No 3D screen. Nintendo warns about the effects of a 3D screen on a c

A lesson in how to lie with graphs in this article. The percentage supposedly represented by the boxes is indicated using the width of the box, but the human eye instinctively uses the area. That's how you can make 30% look 4 times lar

One particularly interesting thing about the origin of this effect is that it spawned from the file size limit on .gif files on tumblr. If users wanted to exceed the balance of gif length, frame rate, and detail that they wanted, they would

Either answer should give a valid measure of regional hipsterdom. Is it just hipsters that use Yelp? If so, go where they're reviewing. If not, follow the hipster tag. I can certainly vouch for the validity of the London version, that&

That first paragraph is choked with hyperbolic language. I think I'd rather read a different source on the matter if one exists.

The writer appears to be the wrong audience of !bang. As a physics student, I find !w tremendously helpful. Image searching is also much faster since it all can be done in the search bar rather than requiring the mouse. !wa for wolfram alph

Working for a charity will NOT change the world, since charity places are already oversubscribed. There's an interesting Oxford-based thinktank that works on the most effective forms of making a difference called 80,000 Hours. They're quite
