There's a saying on Wall Street, if the ducks quack, feed them. Investors lost their mind again with the internet and started valuing any old rubbish at astronomical values.....again. but it's not uncommon, and if it wasn't t

I was listening to a podcast where a car dealer was talking about Caravana. They weren't really checking the cars they were buying properly so people were selling them any old junk and the company was paying top dollar for it. It sound

Watched it again recently and its aged very badly. At the time it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen, but now its not at all. The bands that came on it were maximum nostalgia though.

Is this how it always is and has been in Silicon Valley or Tech in the US. Startups started by well connected or well off kids, with backgrounds at elite Universities. Background and connections count for so much in that industry, it makes

Twitter is like everyone with an opinion standing in an open field shouting at each other. Its not a forum for debate, just for publicising yourself.

Trying to do anything on that abomination is like wading through treacle. Slow and unintuitive I can't stand it.

I just saw a post from the Economist in the federated timeline, looks like the migration or at least the use of Mastadon is starting to gather momentum.

I gather it was a leveraged buyout so he wont be losing much if it does go under. The only problem is most leveraged buyouts are for mature low or no growth companies that are profitable have strong cashflow and low capex requirements. Cant

I hope this boosts Mastadon take up use. Are there any other large organisations that use it?

Super Cub Electric? Would be a game changer especially if it wasnt premium priced.

It was nearly 10 years ago, so Im hoping those people have matured and changed since then. When you're younger you do and say a lot of stupid things that you look back and regret a lot. Its easy to get caught up in the moment with frie

VR isn't going to catch on the way Facebook did unless there's a compelling reason. Games are the best way to create the buzz and demand, but the price of the tech has to be a lot cheaper. None of that is happening right now. Zuck

I admit I have hearing issues, not enough for a hearing aid, but tech like this would help me a great deal, it's surprising that it hasn't been widely available before. The price seems a bit exorbitant though, will cheaper knock o

The first thing I though when I saw this was "is it legal". The way rights holders protect their assets these days I can imagine it won't be too long before it's taken off line. A shame really its fun to read scripts.

What's the rule we should all know by now? Never use a Google service. We may joke about it but how many people have been left high and dry by their capriciousness? Next on the list, Google cloud...

A large part of the deficit is due to the Energy cost relief program, something the government had to do. The BoE knew this but chose not to raise rates to compensate, so either they're happy with the situation or they're ditherin

There was also significant monetary loosening and the supply side was a lot less flexible. A year later we also had an oil price shock after the Yom Kippur war. Oil prices are actually falling now, the supply side is far less regulated and

Monetary tightening is going to lead to a slowdown so I don't think a fiscal stimulus will be particularly inflationary.

The Pi was £100 a few months ago, so a bit of deflation there.

At this point the falling pound is a one way bet. The Bank of England has been incredibly slow in dealing with inflationary issues in the UK, raising interest rates by only .25 percent when inflation was rocketing. The pounds been falling f

It wasn't a chavvy name in the UK, but back in the 70s an 80's it was part of a collection of names that became associated with a certain working class archetype. It was Gary, Wayne and Kevin for men and Sharon and Tracy for girls

Oh dear, this isnt good news at all. Now they're going to be under pressure to produce excessive returns to fatten the company up for an IPO or sale. Having seen what happened to Lastpass when it was passed around from pillar to post t
