“Optimising economic output” is the last thing most ADHD people are looking for. Being able to live day to day without nerve-shredding vertiginous chaos touching every part of one’s life is much stronger a motivation.

Expense doesn’t always mean purely financial. There is an environmental cost to buying something new as well, and a social cost in supporting the manufacture of electronics that may have less than perfect supply chain ethical standards. I’m

Are Shutterstock, Zapier and Airbnb really using your product? If so, in what context? I’d love to see some examples.

We spent well over a million dollars on the various bits and pieces that were required to get set up - this was legals, consultancy fees, and all the paperwork and so on necessary to comply with the ICANN registry agreement terms, as well a

I accidentally ended up running one of the new gTLD registries for a while. It’s a lot more than $185,000 - that’s just the ICANN application fee. It’s all the other stuff that surrounds running a registry that is expensive. Might be cheape

I worked in music distribution and maintain a very active interest in this space. This is actually fairly unlikely to work, from three different standpoints: operational logistics of how money moves around; technical logistics; and economic

Your legal advisor is incorrect I’m afraid. You are charging for access to copyright material. You can try to dress this up as “we are providing a service and we are charging for that service and it just so happens that part of the service

I exercise my dog in the same part of my local park each day - a quiet area which is normally a cricket pitch. He’s got terrible recall so we are practising with a long training leash and treats. There’s a family of crows who now - the inst

Not sure what you mean by “open sourced” here. Just because they have made them available that does not mean that you can sell them.

Unless you’ve got permission to commercially exploit other people’s copyright material, this isn’t going to fund your education - it’s going to get you sued. Copyright violation has a statutory penalty starting at $750 per violation so you’

The tweet in question was the pride flag being presented as a swastika. However, the link is not news and should likely be removed as I suspect that the reporting in this article is significantly biased. This is an article reporting secondh

As a customer I’m much more likely to cancel a service if I get Vague! Happy! Pointless! customer service interactions rather than honest responses. But yes - I imagine too many MBAs is the problem most of the time…

I’m interested by this response as this is exactly the sort of CS response that makes me seethe - it doesn’t resolve the issue and holds out false hope. Have you seen it used effectively? Are you using shorthand here and there is more to th

This story is three years old - so no idea why this click bait site is reporting it as new. The link to the NASA paper in the first paragraph of the article is a broken link. The paper itself was first published in 2019. https://

Having looked out for this since you mentioned it it is not something I noticed. Meanwhile I’m really annoyed because this was on a “lightning deal” on Amazon recently for £389 and I missed picking another one up by about 40 minutes!

Do “regular folk” really do this though? It is a serious, non provocative question. I strip all cruft off URLs but consider myself privacy aware and technically adept. I don’t think my non-technical friends have any idea about this.

I have a fantastic way that I’ve trained my CO2 sense: an Italian greyhound. Anything above 900ppm and he barks and gets quite frantic above 1100ppm. I’m now able to anticipate the barking and normally realise at about 850ppm that we need t

Not sure what you mean by bleeding - can you be more specific? I find it an absolute joy to use. When I am at my desk I spend a lot of time in front of the screen and compared to the Samsung 4k I was using previously I find far less eye str
