As is the way with most government debt - ideally, economic growth will outpace the cumulative interest accrued by the debt. There are other externalities too, like the economic benefits from quicker transport between major cities. If you w

Oddly, no strong feelings about those, but I am a my-ess-queue-el person. I can't claim to be consistent, but filling in vowel-less acronyms feels wrong. I think that's the difference - ctrl and fn are abbreviations, not acronyms.

I don't know how it works in Canada, but in the UK the incentive is that most estate agents take a % of the sale value. They have every reason to push house prices higher. Cartel or no cartel, it is very harmful.

Interesting indeed - to have gone from a capital starved era that led to the fetishisation of direct foreign investment to an era where there's so much capital seeking returns that it gets turned away. A strange inversion if ever there

Or perhaps the security services we pay so much for could stop hoarding vulnerabilities and start patching them. So as to add to our.. security. Of course the problem is that these services are geared towards protecting the state, as distin

I was once goaded into going to a Sunderland away game. I was somewhat surprised to hear them chanting "he s*ts where he wants" to the tune of the theme from the Addams Family. No, I cannot explain.

And their explanation was probably more baffling to the admin than a simple "it is broken" report too. It would definitely have been for me.

Lots of small scripts. Probably my biggest thing is a typing program for my son which has videos my son likes as rewards for typing. Just bash scripts and a custom prompt, but it is software someone else uses so I consider it to be worthwhi

Some people just have that. I also suck at child's play. I've spoken to teachers and speech therapists who do, too. On the bright side, you get to be the parent who helps them feel more grown up when they're ready for that. I

I've started going out on an ebike. Not too much effort but if I want to I can turn the motor off for a while for the exercise. The sense of speed with the wind cooling you as you pedal is a real pleasure. Half an hour does the trick f

Why not Estonia? Their digital e-residency stuff sounds great and their laws (including tax laws) seem pretty business friendly.

Isn't the whole point of venture capital that VCs also make poor judges of which companies will be successful? Remember the fact that most VC companies fail, and the unicorns pay for them. How is that different?

It feels like having management as a specialism in its own right is a result of the financialisation of business. It is inconceivable that business schools can equip people to innovate: innovation will come from founders who have technical

Yes. The old saying among Labour party socialists in the UK was "rise with your class, not above it". They were in favour of a high floor on living standards and a low ceiling on wealth. It isn't a stretch to think that a mor
