It's totally misleading of the article to suggest this phone is a success in any way. Building a phone (even on top of a rebranded device) is incredibly hard and expensive and unfortunately they didn't raise anywhere near enough m

I'm a US citizen in the UK on a visa where I can be self-employed and start companies. It looks like the new system has basically the same process for getting this type of visa (which is to say it's still a pain in the ass) except

It's effectively cherry-picking data. If you want to encourage something as public policy (like working from home, recycling, public transit, etc), it's a lot easier to deploy a new program at a 'city level' where everyo

NYT publishes all kinds of inflammatory stuff it its Op-Ed section. I don't think you should read the Op-Ed section too seriously (or at all). It's not up to the same bar as the rest of their reporting. It's their way to comp

It's so frustrating that Google auto-removes more and more words out of your query in order to increase "relevance". A lot of times, a search like "How to do <FEATURE> in <PRODUCT>" returns a bunch of re
