Some people discussing how Trump/US could intervene to calm this situation - why would they? Presumably part of the US state would very much like access to this data, and with the …

My point was that it seems you are critiquing the design of the page as if it's purpose is to display sales data, and I was suggesting that it's purpose is not to display sales dat…

The design isn't crashing their browser, the implementation of the design is. You could argue that the design is simply not implementable with current technology to serve the wides…

with respect, I disagree that the function here is to show information. the (primary) function here is to advertise Stripe, and they obviously believe the aesthetic will increase t…

ApplePay in-the-web has existed since the inception of the feature. I'm not sure how the App Store is relevant here?

If I’m going to need to install and open specific software just to use Teams, then it’s probably going to be the Teams app itself. The purpose of having it browser based is that I …

We use Teams for group calls at work, but Slack for all other messaging. This is because Slack's video calling feature has always been a pain, particularly for our Linux team membe…

There's no indication anywhere that this works for UK customers - other than some logos part way down the page for Ocado, Waitrose and Sainsbury's (all UK only AFAIK) and there's n…

In what way is 'cancel culture' different from 'the opinions of, and respect held by, other people'? If you do something, or say something, and when I hear about it I feel less res…

Not sure if this is true wherever you're from, but here in the UK unions are very commonplace all over different industries and have been a recognised part of society for quite som…

I didn’t say all ice cream vans or hand car washes are run by slaves. I said that they carry modern slavery risks in our country at the moment. There is plenty of data to support t…

ice cream vans (and hand car washes) carry modern slavery risks in the UK - this company still have an ice cream van parked every day next to the park near my house: https://thebri…

I can confidently believe that this album was never meant for ‘real’ release and therefore that this is not a stunt. While the archive has some gems and recordings that many in the…
