Australia and Japan and a number of Asia-Pacific nations have joined the CPTPP - the reality is that the main driving force has been a mission to build a trading coalition in which…

This makes the second or third piece I've read this week to suggest that the populism we're seeing behind Brexit and the Trump phenomenon is at some level motivated by a desire to …

So, has it completely escaped the attention of the makers of mobile games that almost 60% of gamers on mobile platforms are women? Seriously - It's kinda odd that one of the defini…

For all the hyperbolae of the headline, this article reeks of sour grapes and conjecture, if not outright paranoia. In complete ignorance of exactly what qualities the company was …

Why does this have any votes? The talk clearly isn't banned or unavailable - that's a ridiculous and hyperbolic claim. It's a TEDx talk, which are independent events where speakers…

When legacy media has become too voiceless to matter.

Bah humbug. By their very nature blog articles like this are reaching an audience of non-coders, to show them that a basic understanding of programming is within their grasp, that …

Sorry, I have to ask why it is you're disinclined to pay the subscription fee for content libraries like spotify, or an audiobook collection of some sort? It's just that for me, Sp…

"The trouble with computers, of course, is that they're very sophisticated idiots" -Billy Connolly

Hehe - I'm sure there's a middle ground somewhere!

> The problem, of course, is that Spotify doesn't pay very much to artists. False. The notion that Spotify just doesn't pay very much to artists is simply unfounded. The figure's c…

I don't believe that the objections come down to the principle of prefabrication itself, but the execution. In Europe and the Anglo-sphere, we've learned the hard way that when we …

It's a pity his ambitions don't embrace even a hint of design thinking or aesthetic virtue. Seriously, they're butt ugly. Just phallic boxes that describe an obsession with size an…

In my own experience, casual or minimal exercise has done little to affect my mood and since my early twenties depressive periods have been a very real problem, even effecting my e…

There is one technological invention, completely 'unnatural' and born of human artifice, which each and everybody on Hacker News has internalised so deeply that we take it for gran…

But does that really equate to different "qualia" or is it more like the cognitive "shorthand" involved in the experience of driving a vehicle? Is there a difference? Meh, bloody s…

Hearing about this brought a smile to my face & made my day. News like this gives you hope for a better tomorrow.

Is this for real? Sorry Kim Dotcom - you are not a figurehead of any movement, you are not a new Martin Luther King. Call me crazy, but I think I trust this mob more: http://intern…

I don't know, market forces can be quite persuasive sometimes. If YouTube keeps up this heavy-handed approach, it's bound to lead to a climate of anxiety and resentment amongst its…
