That was part of my earlier point, they are already issuing a visa, and a visa to Iceland is a Schengen Visa. This seems to imply that they only want nationals from certain countries. Contrast this with Spain's digital nomad program, w

Having visited Iceland previously, I'd love to work there over the summer. > you can show a foreign income of ISK 1,000,000 per month or ISK 1,300,000 if you also apply for a spouse or cohabiting partner. > you do not need a visa

That's wonderful, I hope other car makers realize how distracting and dangerous touch controls are for a driver's ability to focus on driving. My car has physical controls for most things, and I use CarPlay for music/podcasts

I personally don't enjoy voice commands, they require all passengers to stop talking, and it interrupts the radio, podcast, or music, and generally it's awkward to use voice commands during a phone call. Well placed physical inter

I doubt the race is over, its only a matter of time before Apple, Amazon, and Google integrate large language models into their assistants. Most people I know have some home assistant, they are genuinely useful for some actions around the h

So far I've been happy with using the mysa ecosystem for my smart home. It works with Apple HomeKit, its had relatively good reliability and the team behind the product have been responsive when I do face issues. https://sho

If optimizing for TC is a nihilistic way to see the world, your take is naïve. The reality is that even if someone is a good engineer, they may not always have the right opportunities, they may struggle to sell their work, or they may have

Not every employee at a company gets the most powerful computer, nor does everyone get the expensive software. This is targeted at companies and employees who can benefit from the tech such as architects. Even Facebook / Microsoft don&

I think we should consider more than just electric cars as a solution to this problem. We need to rethink the way we travel in many car dependent countries. Cars are the most in-efficient means of personal transportation. People should have
