In his defence, Monkey Island is Ron’s creation and the ending is probably what he always intended. It felt like a fitting conclusion to me that neatly tied a bow on the whole saga…

I appreciate this is intellectually lazy but is there a tl;dr? It’s a clickbait headline followed by a conversation that’s, at least initially, not good at conveying context.

This minor deterrant to adoption scales up with lots of other minor deterrents. Users want "it just works" and that's the experience they get with Microsoft and Apple (however bad …

It doesn't come with a phone number: it's data only. Per the FAQ: https://www.firsty.app/#Support

I suppose it's a little like UIs. Old school, green screen UIs have a learning curve and can result in very efficient usage. Modern, friendly UIs sacrifice speed for presentation a…

Agreed; Ireland is very similar

That’s a good point. I visited Latvia a few years ago and was struck by how large a section of society there identifies as Russian, to the extent that in some places you were more …

I struggle with the constant stream of fad terminology, the latest being Metaverse and Web 3.0. In some ways, Metaverse appears to be simply a new way of describing what we already…

I’m using repair and protect, and I have no idea whether it’s doing anything. Experienced a much greater impact by cutting out most added sugar from my diet (including in coffee). …

What those four countries have in common is their use of Sinopharm. It seems safe to assume that the efficacy of Sinopharm has been significantly exaggerated. It is unfortunate tha…

In a sense entering the market is easy -- sign up to Shopify, drop ship from China, etc. On the other hand, competing in the market is not easy. Maybe that's what he meant?

There are plenty of commercial air purifiers that will at least trap SARS-CoV-2 particles, and they can be added to air conditioning systems. The IQAir HealthPro Plus, which can be…

That’s a fair point. It is still a healthy market. I hope Facebook and Walmart don’t preclude other platforms and non-Shopify retailers.

True that it’s good to see competition for Amazon. So long as they don’t have exclusivity with Walmart and Facebook Shops, I don’t see a problem.

(Disclaimer: I work in the e-commerce space.) I have to say I'm concerned about Shopify's growing dominance in the e-commerce market. They're selling a 'David vs Goliath' story abo…

Technically, they are still negotiating, though negotiations stalled in 2016[1]. I can't ever see it happening; there is so much opposition. Human rights seems to be biggest sticki…

Irishman here. Not to further a cultural stereotype but.. I know plenty of binge drinkers who could put away 20-30 pints[1] over the course of a day-long drinking session. Get a co…

Was it from a third-party seller? If they're not using FBA, they shipped it from their own warehouse.

What's more is that Telegram's approach to crypto has been shown to be deeply flawed[1]. I take my chances with Signal instead. Unfortunately, enticing all of my contacts to do the…
