I'm from the UK and almost everyone I know is finding it hard to get work in tech right now. There's also a lot of strange stuff going on in hiring here (especially for remote roles). There's a huge number of what appear to b

An interesting prediction is one that is predictive of something impactful and correctly predicts something which is currently significantly under weighted by others. Given this I'll say that 2025 is going to be a significant year geop

I think a ban that prohibits the distribution of a product is fine. My understanding is that private citizens are still legally allowed to use TikTok if they want, but TikTok isn't allowed to market their product directly to US consume

People have been arguing the same bogus free speech point in the UK recently because people have been arrested for saying things that are anti-immigration and offensive online. People have free speech, but obviously that doesn't mean y

I thought it was a joke when I saw the posts on the Reddit homepage celebrating the murder and even the murderer. Partly because I thought Redditors were above that type of thing, but also because I thought it was against their TOS. It&#x27

Agreed. All I'd say is that these demos look quite limited in their creativity and depth. Good video games are far more than some graphics with a movable character and action states. A good video game is far more the world building, th

You think that's bad then imagine how much GDPR compliance costs... As a European who works in tech and has implemented many cookie banners, I am broadly in favour of GDPR, but I think we need to take a more reasonable approach with sm

Does anyone else find this write up confusing? My understanding from this is that BBC want slightly different behaviour depending on whether it's a mouse or keyboard "click" (keyboard shouldn't show the animation and sho

I'm also glad I was badly bullied as a kid, but for other reasons. In my case it forced me to stop being a physically and mentally weak person and I don't know how that could have possibly have happened without bullying. I'm

The best explanation I heard for the appeal of fascism was from someone on the far-right – that fascism is basically an immune response of a nation. When enough people are hurting from the status quo voting for "sensible" policies

Yeah exactly, it's a thought experiment about infinities... Is someone going to publish a study concluding that Hilbert's Hotel couldn't be built on Earth too? Why are people even spending money on this research? What are the

Users don't need protections from online services the majority of the planet neither use nor need to use. Multinational governments should scare people far more than whatever Twitter is doing these days.

I actively avoid friendships or getting too close to people or animals because loss is too hard. When you love lots of people and animals you're sad all the time because you're always losing and missing someone. I'm a bit hap

That's what I wondered. Presumably services implementing it will add info about using the button before starting the journey, but I'm surprised there's no design system guidance about this. Without that information the button

There's quite a lot of investment in AR/VR for new educational applications. I think there is some potential there.

Why would humans explore space when AIs are more intelligent and more physically able to? Seems more likely we'll just plug ourselves into ever more addicting dopamine machines. That's certainly the trend so far anyway.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe the reason Amazon doesn't pay tax, and even now is only paying very little corporation tax is because corporation tax is a tax on profits which is something Amazon avoids like th

I don't fully agree with it, but the argument is that automation increases productivity and creates new higher paid jobs allowing human labour to be used for more useful things than just moving boxes around warehouses.

It seems likely to me social media would play a role in this, but I'm going to push back a little because I'm also aware that social media has basically become the catch all when trying to explain any and complex social problem in

Seems kinda obvious this isn't targeted at hobbyists, but more towards SMEs and AI startups that want to build their own language models from scratch or experiment with the tech. Something like this would help small teams build an init

This is super cool tech! I'm surprised how many people here knocking the glasses for being "too thick" when it's clearly this is a huge improvement on previous attempts at AR like the hololens. And to be honest it looks
