Don't play dumb, products manufactured in Asia, for US companies, that are then shipped to Europe or elsewhere for sale. I hate to break it to you but the majority of products sold by US companies are not made in the USA any more. You

> When you hear about the US navy going after pirates off the coast of Somalia, that money wasn't spent protecting US citizens in most cases. Not directly, but it is protecting the financial interests of US companies whose products

I really want to do Math Academy and even briefly tried it a year ago. It's absolutely great but it's also very expensive. I know that math skills are invaluable, it's far cheaper than schooling, and that long term the invest

I've spent the last year or so immersing myself in the improv scene of a major city and I am convinced that in 50 years time people will look at a weekly improv session as being essential to your mental health in the same way going to

Can any of the big e-reader companies just please release an A4 sized color e-reader? It can clearly be done, why are we still stuck with black and white for the 13 inch ranges?

Don't know if this is quite the same but I worked for a company on a React SPA that was essentially an event driven CAD system using the Canvas API. It was an absolute nightmare - there were a ton of unintended event loops and side eff

You might want to have a look at the BYOK (Bring Your Own Keyboard) device that recently got funded on Kickstarter. It's wildly overpriced but having also had an Alphasmart I definitely think this looks like a better way to go than the

Has anyone tried asking it to generate the libraries/functions that it's hallucinating and seeing if it can do so correctly? And then seeing if it can continue solving the original problem with the new libraries? It'd be abso

If I remember right Deep Work by Cal Newport talks about Bell Labs and how that came to be such an epicentre of invention back in the day. The author reckons that the architecture of the building had a lot to do with it. It allowed the empl

I think of this in cinematic terms. The first sentence is going to start with a shot of the painting, then it will either cut, zoom or dolly out to reveal the crowd. Whereas the second shot starts with the wide angle of the gallery and then

Apple will never get me back until they release a folding phone. Even then I don't think I'd go back now, I've got my android set up exactly how I want it, with iOS I'd have to make some sort of compromise.

This 1000%. As an investor, if interest rates aren't zero, why would you put your money in a risky startup when you could park it in a load of other places and still get a decent return? It's also not 2007 anymore, the low hanging
