Both, really. Some of it (in particular the history stuff) is pure content creation, for sure. Others give product recommendations, reviews, etc.

As much as we malign "influencers", we forget that a good chunk of them earn a living service niche interests and are not all insufferable narcissists. Some of my favourites: -Joshua Bardwell (FPV drones): https://www.y

Europe's cell phone qualities vary a lot by country. Even in western Europe, some surprising countries(1) have absolutely terrible networks. As a Canadian we have some very expensive mobile plans, but our network speeds are mostly ve

If China was a rule of law country without capital controls you’d be right, but nobody is rushing. Yuans are worthless unless you want to buy goods in China and if you amass too much, the Chinese government can control how it’s used withou

There's a danger in "We need to do something, this is something, therefore we should do it". Government subsidies flow to those who know the system. If what you want is journalists being paid by those people who know the sys

You can save layouts (when I start iterm, it loads multiple windows on different monitors with split panes and tabs the way I like them). More advanced search with regex support, more advanced paste (can do character encoding transformation

I don't think the solution is to subsidize it, though. It'll ultimately end up flowing back to Bell/Rogers.

For IPO sales, all options can eventually be converted into common shares then sold (often after various lockup periods giving other investors chances to cash out first). For private sales, which can be structured in a variety of ways, ther

What they likely meant was that the options would eventually be worth $5m, but not when they left the company and could exercise them.

I'm not saying they should, but that doesn't mean you can't allow denser development - but they present density as some way of life crisis. They fight townhouses, for christ's sake: https://streetsoftoronto.co

The local councillors in Toronto who are most opposed to 4-plexes tend to be ndp affiliated “champaign socialists” who want to stop “greedy developers” from destroying “family homes”. There’s also a more suburban right leaning group who don

One could argue it was never all that common, except for a period where the “lower level” was all that was available. Though I have seen (possibly anecdotal) interest in some microcontroller hobbying with younger geeks, including ESP32 stu

The one exception to your statement is "easier to pair". ELRS has historically been more of a pain to pair and update than crossfire. Crossfire has OTA updates from the TX to the RX's, so you just need to update the transmit

Ever since ELRS 3 came out, I haven't met many people that argue that Crossfire is a superior radio link. The fact that ELRS 2.4GHz has gotten to 100KM and even now ELRS 900MHz RX's and TX's are widely available still gives

To be fair, the tone is supposed to be that way. It was designed as a UK-tabloid style IT news source, which have informal and opinionated tones (I don't know if it was originally done in jest or not). The fact that it publishes in a

Yes, obviously "something" else would have happened had regulators blocked the merger - I don't know why you're hyper-focusing on that. My point is that it would almost certainly have been an even worse outcome for ever
