Wow I thought I was the only one. I have also had these experiences, including abused by people on this site for the crime of saying I miss the office. I am back at the office now,…

One thing I wonder, if you look at the comments here it is clear the moderation and the general hostility of the site was a big reason why a lot of people left or didn't engage wit…

I've always found it quite sad and cringeworthy when people talk about AI's water usage. The first thought that comes to my head is whether its even worth trying to talk the person…

How is it going in the other countries that are trying this? Do we know yet? If not, why move forward with legislation based on untested theories, especially when other countries a…

I'm not interested in defending the trend as much as I am in understanding it, which the article promises but doesn't deliver. To begin to understand this, you have to examine the …

If you are actually looking for an article on "How the Tech World Turned Evil", you are going to be sorely disappointed. This article is, as you might expect, the usual cast of vil…

Brexit is an interesting case to bring up. As someone who voted against it, it is also clear to me that it hasn't been implemented in any way that could have made it a success from…

Keir Starmer is trying to sell this to public with the promise that it will curb illegal immigration. But by how much? And if that target isn't met, will it be rolled back? It alwa…

FWIW most of the inbound traffic to startups websites that I know enough to ask about is coming from ChatGPT.

Does anyone know what this fine is about? It says celebrity endorsements but I'm not actually sure what the root issue is here?
