The Children of Time series is fantastic! I'm glad that Adrian Tchaikovsky is getting more well deserved recognition.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. The cardboard/wax tears quite easily, and the wax tears with the cardboard. I don't think a plastic film would do that.

Just goes to show how effective unionizing is. Power to those workers! They're a key part in making Apple one of the most valuable companies in the world. They deserve a fair share…

Perhaps some compliance to a too-broad security policy. Like, across the board, all NFC enabled electronics with read/write capabilities must have a password mechanism. They probab…

As this is a UK based article, I'm assuming you mean the Cambridge in England. I happen to live in Cambridge, Massachusetts and the while cyclists can be reckless, the drivers pose…

Amazing news! More cyclists (and fewer motorists) on the streets creates a safer, less polluted city environment for everyone.

What I find remarkable about LEGO is what it's taught me about sculpture: the ability to give the impression of something, letting the mind fill in the details. LEGO bricks are act…

Other than the pizza and beer, I challenge you to find a ski resort in Colorado/Utah much cheaper than the prices you listed. It's crazy here in the US. I'll be spending a week ski…

It's the kind of lawyer who will get you the best outcome when you know you'll be convicted of some very bad things.

I love this concept. Where is the apparel manufactured? How much transparency / accountability is there re the supply chain?

Pretty much every major tech company is either inherently or in practice worth shitting on.

They're also defining, in the public's imagination, the primary use case of VR to be corporate meeting space. That's bad for VR and bad for society.

Sickening. If FB were to selectively refuse to comply with some state subpoenas, what would be the consequences? Banning of FB in Indiana? I think that would be more of a punishmen…

It's to stop web scraping spam bots. It's not worth it for a web scraping scammer to take the time to individually decode his email address.

That's a very sad way to view the world and people.

Games have been 60 since around 2005. People were paying $90 in 2022 USD for the original Halo, which makes $70 easier to stomach

As it should be. A missing stop sign can get someone killed.

Let's say these properties were seized/repatriated/otherwise off limits to Russian oligarchs. Would that move the value on them at all? If so, would it have any effect on more day …

Nice, I'm interested in what your non-monetary benefits are? I now get paid better than average, but that's essentially my only compensation.
