You asked the question, but don't want to hear the answer. Advancements are more often logarithmic than geometric: a brief flurry of progress as easy barriers are overcome, followed by a long unsexy slog of incrementalism. Bitcoin may

A functioning democratic republic is not, in fact, predicated on voting every couple years and shutting up in between elections. Additionally, checks and balances abdicating their duties to uphold laws does not mean that no laws are being b

A very very minor contribution to my choice to buy a VW ID.4 is that a number of people reported that pulling the modem's (user-accessible) fuse is fine, and just disables remote connectivity as you'd expect. (I haven't actua

FSAs are insane, conceptually. "Guess how much money you're spending in a year on healthcare! But beee caaareful: if you guess too high, YOU LOSE IT" I still used mine while I still had access to one, but it was grumpy-making

I was there, Gandalf, 15 years ago. I think the last virus I saw in person was closer to 25 years ago, but I've done my time in the trenches. Locked-down app stores certainly have significant utility and even should maybe be the defa

I 100% agree with this, but a significant way that mobile websites often decay the experience compared to the app is with very short-lived login sessions. Even when the experience is otherwise basically identical, I've found that login
