The core line of logic "We can pay our workers less, because our workers are more desperate" never gets any better. It's one thing to say they're going to pay less because the business isn't viable at these levels o

USB-C Solved one very simple problem. We used to have lots of different devices that did lots of different things and didn't work together and they all had different cables that wouldn't physically plug in to each other. USB-C now

One of the funny things I experienced at my old company was that we were totally open to sponsoring visas and stuff (I'm in finance, it's very much a global market), and we'd often interview people from Tech. It was extremely

Ok sure, but that's not likely to have anything to do with app store pricing etc. That's just GCP trying to acquire customers. They're not going to start trying to punish customers for other decisions because that would be an

If you want to see ISAs in practice, a very close thing to look at is the UK student loan programme. Students can borrow 9k per year for tuition + 9-12k for living expenses (all univerisities are capped at 9k fees despite incredibly dispara

I'm not really sure that this matters. The problem is that the news organization didn't make money, and judging by the financials they aren't close to making money. It would be a different thing if we could point to other med

I think the way I've started to think about Blockchain/Bitcoin is that it's just pure regulatory arbitrage. First Bitcoin was about being able to conduct illegal transactions, now it's about being able to scam people and

Yeah that's exactly the point I was making "I can spend my way out of this democratically passed law" is not really democracy is it. It's capitalism at the cost of democracy.

I don't know why you'd be happy having the investigation cost orders of magnitude more, in a functioning democracy that's just straight up more money on your tax bill. Oh wait...
