There are quite some parallels here with the Theranos story. Both seem to come from a place of ignorance mixed with unearned self belief and exceptionalism. Your suggestion that surely this person did some good is, it seems to me, a smaller

I’d love to know the name of that company. I’m buying 5 litre refills where possible but even when buying supposedly eco friendly products they’ve come wrapped in layer upon layer of plastic.

You sound exhausting to be around. Your comment about burnout is either a humble brag or an admission that this isn’t even working for you. You get one life. Stop glorying in being a jerk. If you’re as brilliant as you say you are then humi

The author is all-in on this. His schtick is to look down on everyone who isn't him.

While Standpoint is culturally conservative, the way you've worded it implies that because it is British it necessarily mean that it is culturally conservative. A version of this could equally have appeared in a publication from any En

Even your backside? I mean, even if you wipe very well then surely without soap you’re never actually clean.

Not disagreeing but at least the Australian ad authority is actually dealing with the Samsung case.

The amplifier in my BMW died after snow fell from the lid into the boot/trunk and shorted it. Utterly crap design.

It’s not wrong, though. You added some really valuable context but it doesn’t detract from BER being relatively inexpensive compared to other airport projects.

I totally get what you're saying but maybe it's because you're a repeat user that they don't change this.

So, what you’re saying is that a decision you make as, say, a 17 year old is one that you must stand by for the rest of your life? And, yes, I get it, there’s more than the IA but it’s a point of principle for me. I’m not talking about eras

Polite or not the previous commenter made a sweeping appeal based on their view of what is right and seemingly without acknowledging that there are legitimate reasons not to want to be a part of internet history. If a person’s reason is mor

This fundamentalism is unhelpful. What if people don’t want to be part of internet history? It’s hard enough to be anonymous, or even to move on from mistakes, as it is.

Is there a precedent that points towards a possible outcome for .io? Has there been a similar case of a country ceasing to exist with an impact on its gtld?

In the UK, at least, public libraries pay a tiny fee to the author each time the book is borrowed. We are talking pennies a year but, in terms of intent at least, it is not the same.

Pretty sure that most people value their time and staying on the right side of the law more than a few dollars a month.

Agreed. USB c is unreliable in that just a small movement is enough for it to disconnect while appearing to be plugged in.

Great but how does that help recoup the investment the article mentions? I’m making no comment on the specifics of the Docker or Hadoop ecosystems as I have no skin in either game but history is full of useful tech that didn’t make money.

Here’s the thing: if someone doesn’t want to chat should that affect their access to a paid service? With Uber you’re paying for a professional driver (they’re being paid, so they’re a pro by definition) to take you from A to B. There shoul

Genuine question from someone outside the US. I see lots of Americans object to the TSA but is it the agency or the function that people object to? I only ever flew once pre-911 but I seem to recall a security process here in Europe not hug

A key thing is to know that the subject is kinda unimportant. Small talk is a social protocol. It establishes trust and a bond and it kinda helps if the topic isn’t too heavy. That’s why sport is so great a topic. Most of what people say ab
