Exactly what a high end place I went to in London did. Seemed fair enough. Places are in demand but I’m not being screwed in to paying for the privilege of being able to pay, but at the cost of locked in to committing or lose £50 to cancel

The civil rights movement, #MeToo, the Berlin Wall, the world post-2008 crisis, there are probably more that I'm not thinking of, but each of these directly contributed to a better world for those the zeitgeist focussed on in a tangibl

I really don't think I'm being too incendiary. I didn't want to just spew bile, I'm frustrated at the wasted opportunity and the fact that those who have suffered most from it are those who those with the luxury beliefs

I tried to sign up for Instagram and got banned within minutes of signing up and couldn’t get signed up. Eventually since I came to ‘need’ it as my social circle have moved on from Twitter I bought an account on the grey market. The main ad

Really feels like Stack Overflow lost a huge bet for their cultural relevance in how late they were to embracing AI. An idea I saw at the time when ChatGPT was picking up steam was to generate an automatic AI to every question, then have co

It's really unfortunate that the Pale Moon team are also totally unlikable, which is probably among the reasons why usage has dropped off since it was in vogue in the early-mid 2010s. This[0] issue in a WIP repo for OpenBSD always remi

If you're like, at a very senior level it's not unusual. But that also comes with a level of accountability to stakeholders that Baker demonstrably does not have. How long do you imagine someone in such a position at a FAANG compa
