Vertical farming is about to explode as an industry. Any discussion of planet-wise nutrition is silly without acknowledging the enormous effect it will have. What feeding X0e9 people requires is energy.

We believe it's insane and dismiss it out of hand because we all realize Mechanical Turk doesn't pay a living wage in the developed world. But I dunno, I feel OK with the premise that this guy reduced his expenses and optimized hi

Dude. Try browsing Reddit incognito mode: every time you visit you get a modal dialog trying to trick you into to download the app to proceed. Even the order of the options varies. Bad faith dark design throughout

A decade of free online news subsidized by the dying gasp of the news industry has set us up perfectly for this. Going forward, that subsidization will finish evaporating and the only news media that can earn ad dollars will be either spons

Without the metadata PII, there’s no evidence adversarial utterances like that are true. It’s hard not to feel like this outrage is trumped-up anti-Google FUD. So many more worthy fronts to assail Google et al. on! After all, they let you
