Text passed? Okay I think people are further removed from democracy than in the states, as I understand it lots of options are voted on by people locally in the US. We have zero direct democracy in the UK, only representation. There is zero

I'm not convinced this will make much difference? When I have contacted my MP in the UK I get back very poor responses that are either generic or completely disputing everything I suggested. For example, if you have an evangelical memb

To be fair they were going to license the tech but instead hired employees of the company whose tech they said they were interested in buying. Allegedly. It is quite often just worth going to court and settling rather than paying extortiona

Yeah, if you can afford normal lawyers they attempt to make the company comply with the law, if you can afford Apple lawyers they attempt to make the law comply with Apple’s interests. They will eventually implement something specific the E

I think GitHub being an SPA is largely fine, it has good reasons to be in many situations, what I object to is when a shopping site or, even worse, a content site requires JS to work. This seems terrible when serving HTML is a much better e

If I was the government I'd break up the arms contractor and plane manufacturer as soon as possible and make it possible for everyone in the plane organisation to talk about problems. The culture of secrecy around these issues is a big

All of these terms are largely marketing as far as I’m aware, yes Intel is behind in lithography but not by as much as the difference between 3nm and 10nm would suggest and I’m pretty sure the transistor/feature sizes are not 1/3

This interview with Rob Delany about the death of his 2 year old is heart breaking. His book is also very good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP7waDOo210 I want to say all the usual clichéd things like I'm sorry for

Just look at how treatment during a pandemic was communicated and evolved in realtime, the whole way we do science today interacts with learning from many people in a much faster and more efficient way. Luckily these sort of nonsense one or
