For something that is so central to our day to day lives and our health and well-being, it doesn’t feel like there is enough focus on what goes into our gut. By that I mean the number of people that test for allergies and intolerance feels

YouTube’s unassailable feature is discovery. Would be great to see competition in video hosting though.

Understand your point, but if I was a customer there is zero chance I am investing a cent with them. My thinking is if they do this with Citibank and a hundred million, I have no confidence in being able to recover my own money in case of a

How does a hedge fund decide they want to keep money that’s not theirs and fight it in court? And they manage people’s money as a business. Who would entrust these people with their money after learning of this case? edit: typo.

I have been wondering what some of these middle managers are doing now that they aren’t inventing work for themselves in the office? It must be awfully hard to do this from home.

50 percent chance an honest person barred for life. 50 percent chance a criminal gets let through. If that’s true it’s a wonder the FBI managed to get this far and continues to function.

I would have thought it would look something like this; We estimate it has caused 2,2T in damage and are seeking 100B. They are obviously very smart people and haven’t done it like this for a reason.

Understand, it just adds a sense of unrealism to that case for me. Everything else looks solid, then after seeing that number, it changes how I see the whole thing.

I wonder what it will take for data security to ever be taken seriously.

Why even declare such an outlandish number? What’s the difference between saying 2.2T or a gajillion bazillion?

This media release is confusing. It was almost as if somebody said you need to put out a press release so find something to put in it, rather than we have something really important to say so we must put out a press release. Who is making t

I always wondered why kids could learn a handful of languages and adults struggle to learn anything past one. Language is an interesting one. Maybe it’s my personal bias but it seems a lot easier to learn other things than language as an ad

Appreciate the explanation, not information that’s readily found when you search explanations on dead batteries.

Good point - I didn’t add a disclaimer, not recommended! And probably not a fun tip but nonetheless saved my bacon a few times when I needed quick access to devices.

On a slightly related note, fun tip. If you have a ‘dead’ laptop or mobile phone battery that’s too dead to even recharge.. I have ‘jumpstarted’ some by connecting to a li-ion cordless drill battery for a few minutes. I’ve managed to get a
