Agree! Though to be clear I’m not saying it’s necessarily amazing software - just that a lot of Synology users seem to like it! I was surprised when I was on a Synology subreddit (I think, or maybe the Synology forums) looking for details a

I don’t disagree with any of this. But I have a few non-tech savvy friends (and particularly older folks) who just want a clever box they can plug in and it will do stuff - even if it’s a bit clunky. I wonder how much of the Synology market

I was under the impression that the Unifi UNAS is just a dumb storage array without any of the ecosystem of apps that a lot of Synology users seem to like - the photos app, being able to run Plex, etc.

Oh dear. I think you’ve taken a frivolous comment rather too seriously. Calling people “a dick” online is a self fulling prophecy. Sorry if my gastronomic bigotry upset you.

When you are cooking you should be using a lid. So you bring the water to the boil at full heat and then turn your stove down to keep the water surface just shivering. With the lid on this will be more than hot enough. People talk about “

I read this as “attitude” and quietly agreed.

This is crazy. I cook my pasta for 9 minutes max. Often 8. Because by the time you’ve taken it off the stove, drained it and added it to your sauce any longer and it will be mush. But this guy is starting at 9 minutes. I worry for American

Slice thinner and cleaner with less effort. For example the bread slicing ability — I’d love to be able to cut really thin slices of brioche to drape over things or toast. It would also be fun to play with what it might let you do that a

It wasn’t that similar though, because there was a long long period of transition, not “we are doing this on two days time and if you’ve not got £100k hard luck!”

It absolutely is. I’m a former chef and have great knife skills but would love one of these.

How much do you actually cook though? As a former professional chef I still do a lot of cooking and I’d love one of these and any storage trade off looks absolutely worth while.

Why do anything yourself? I love cooking. It takes me hours. I could order the same thing from a delivery service or go eat at a restaurant and not have to wash up pots and pans afterwards. But the process of going and visiting shops, selec

Michael Rapino, the CEO of Live Nation regularly boasted about how for sports events people take pride in paying thousands of dollars for tickets near the front, and how he wishes it was the same for music. Live Nation had been engaging in

Wasn’t that already effectively put in place with the changes to the exemptions on how R&D is treated for tax purposes? (I’m not in the US so this may have evolved now, I’m not sure.)

Because its parent company Live Nation owns a whole bunch of venues. And a whole bunch of artist management contracts.

Selling tickets is a really tough really low margin business with a ton of gatekeepers and risk. First up you need to convince promoters to give you the tickets. Not artists. When an artist signs a deal with a promoter the promoter owns the

The FTC lawsuit specifically alleges that Ticketmaster deceived both consumers and artists.

Exactly my thought! I didn’t even read the article because if you’re holding yourself out as an arbiter of good design but let something that basic slip through your net then in highly skeptical of your claimed authority.

Value is arbitrary, and only crystallises at liquidation. I have a painting I paid £300 for. Works by that artist are now selling for £10000. Does that make my painting worth £10000? I can send it to be appraised but even if it is valued at

That was pretty much my point!

Extending this further, based on the stated value it looks like he probably had 40 or 50 ethereum. He might have bought them for a fraction of today's price - say $50 - so might only be out $2500 based on cost at transaction time...

I cannot imagine anything worse than doing this! I’ve not watched a video of people spelunking/potholing before. And now, having watched part of this, am unlikely to do so again. I’ve experienced mild vertigo watching videos of, for ex

It’s a piece of marketing content for an “AI Ops” company that will, presumably, sell you a solution to stop your AI pilot failing.

What a letter. I found it helped to read it aloud to make proper sense of it.

I think the fact that an elderly and highly opinionated jazz critic - whose usual output is Luddite-tinged moaning about the music business - has turned to clickbaity headlines about AI tells you need to know about bubbles.

Unless you’re a big artist most tours break even at best, but more often lose money. That loss is sometimes supported by the label investing some money because tours can be a good way to market music and find new audiences. A lot of venues

This is a great concept, but it’s not really for internet peasants. It’s for internet plumbers who already know how to do a whole bunch of stuff. An internet normie who doesn’t know their way around the command line wouldn’t even know where
