I don't doubt that the Empire and America had a lot to do with English dominance. However I do feel there is something inherently fun about English that is lacking in other languages I've encountered. Maybe it's just because

I once read something somewhere about the architecture of either Bell Labs or IBM or somewhere like that back in its heyday. Apparently it was set up so that people had their own individual rooms to work in which were situated down long cor

Are they the same inflation forecasts that last year said it was 'only transitory'? And that inflation would "peak at 5%"? We're now at 10.1%. Meanwhile the private sector (Citi Bank), who tend to know what's a

The biggest (and, rather oddly, rarely discussed) problem for the left in the UK is actually Scotland. Before the SNP rose to power, Scotland used to be a Labour stronghold. In 1997, Tony Blair's Labour had 56 seats in Scotland. Today,

Get a copy of The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron and see if anything resonates. Its primary purpose was as a workbook designed to help overcome creative block but the exercises and tools are applicable for everyone in a rut, not just cr

The worst one for me was when I was listening to a podcast in the bath and adverts started playing at random intervals. Very, very close to dropping premium. Can't see me having it by the time 2023 rolls around.

Been using this the last week to convert an 11ty website and really enjoying it so far. Very cool to just be able to use whatever JS framework you want for a component and just drop it in.

Going through my comments and realised that 'foreign citizens' could be interpreted wrong by anyone who comes across this in the future. I meant anyone who doesn't live in the same country as the property they are purchasing

Don't know much about it but from what I gather quantum computing leaves anything that is only protected by a password very vulnerable to hacking.

One possible approach would be to mandate that any LLC owning property must have completely transparent financials and ownership records. Any LLC that doesn’t comply has its residential property seized and is banned from purchasing resident

How about an exponential land tax? Own one property: no tax. Own two: 1 percent tax on each. Own three: 2 percent on each. Own four: 4 percent on each. Own five: 8 percent on each. Still allows for genuine homeownership, a home in a place c

I posted on another recent thread about Netflix that I think they need to acquire Spotify and possibly some other companies if they want to survive. The fact of the matter is that the economics for the average guy on the street favour going

They could also potentially buy Peloton now whilst it’s struggling. Buy Dropbox and Substack as well and now you’re a full Apple One competitor. And valve for games. Market Cap (billion dollars): Netflix: 84.02 Spotify: 19.71 Dropbox: 8.17

To me it seems a no brainer for Netflix to buy Spotify in a year or two at the peak of the recession and offer a dual service membership alongside its existing options. As it stands, if Spotify raises its prices again then it makes more sen

I can confirm that both iA writer and 1Writer work great as mobile solutions. 1Writer allows for following links. Both allow you to search through all your notes quickly, though there's probably a tiny bit less friction with iA than 1W
