The Guardian have switched to this model and it seems to at least be showing the promise of working. I live in London and subscribe to the paper at the weekends, primarily because the physical thing is a good product and a nice thing to rea

I rented one yesterday (s), it was my first time in a Tesla. There are a lot of things I didn't like - the interior is ugly and the giant ipad console is stupid and hard to use while driving without any tactile switches. But it IS the

I flirted with it briefly, had a few phone interviews, then realised that there's few things I want to do with my working life less than help to progress facebook.

Absolutely this. I've lived here 3 years now and I love the British, but the self-defined English, yikes. Narrow-minded, lazy, parochial, backwards-looking. They don't all look to Farage, but they may as well. The worst thing abou

Key point to remember: A user in the developed world is MUCH more valuable to FB, so even if only westerners quit, each westerner is worth up to 35x what someone from the developed world is worth, in terms of ad income. They may have '

I remember seeing stories about an Occupy group doing that. You know, a distributed ledger of defaulted US student debt might actually be a useful use for a blockchain. (I say this as a NZer whose student debt was held by the govt. and had

A key thing to remember about the baroque period: it was almost all improvised - the original jazz, if you will. Tonal harmony was one of my favourite papers at music school, learning the rules of harmony to compose pieces like this from sc

Nope, sorry but just nope. I use dry-validations and it’s fine for what it is, but unless this stuff is at the language level it’s just a hack and janky to use, which sacrifices one of ruby’s main attractions - language aesthetics. I agree

"If you don't like to exercise just don't do it. You don't need to come up with a cultural conspiracy to feel secure about not liking the gym." I agree with you, I was merely replying to absurdity with absurdity. Pa

He's such a thin-skinned snowflake. I enjoyed The Black Swan but didn't know much about him as a person. He should give up twitter, or stop reading reviews. His fans are hilarious too: he's created a whole cult of redundant p

I don't have stats for this, but I don't think it's families with 2 kids that are causing a population explosion. That's literally just an even replacement for the parents (assuming 2 people who don't remarry before

Just because you put the words antiquated and corrupt in the question doesn’t make those two things true. Based on my somewhat brief experience as a crypto investor it hasn’t given me great hope of it solving corruption...
