Absolutely fair point. I'm only pointing out the fact it hasn't been proved to be a limitation of the architecture yet. Can't write off the first car only able to go 15km/h because your horse is able to do 40km/h.

Life changing isn't it? Coupled with a holder attached to the bed I feel like I read twice as fast when I'm using it rather than holding the kindle, side effect being that I look like the people in WALL-E. I understand that people

I've been here for 5 years and am almost thirty years old. I still have people regularly asking me where I went to secondary school. They are obsessed with class.

I would have loved to pay monthly for IRC Nitro™ back in the day to use… uh, forbidden ascii art?

Not a fan of paywalls, but the framing of the pricing comparison is just so funny to me. Like the guy who comes into the pub offering to sell dubiously acquired meat for a bargain price.

You have to either be entirely detached from reality or deliberately cruel to make statements like this alongside $20,000pa. Willing to bet the latter given Per Se was charging 5% of that salary for a single dinner.

Honestly explicit sarcasm indication should just die out entirely. Might as well be writing it longhand as "Just in case you missed it, this is a joke haha." every time you tell a joke.

Wages in America must be truly incredible for this to seem normal. I know so many full time developers on a tenth of that.

Wow thanks never thought of that, you've solved all my problems. Looked down the road and saw that all the veg produced in Spain has moved to the City of London.

I can't cope with it anymore. I work in grocery and we're seeing weeks long waits for containers and shipping dates, coupled with items arriving with the minimum allowed life, leaves us with very short turnaround frames. It's

Am I incorrect in thinking Apple Pay Later only works with the Apple Card? Or was it available for all cards as long as you used Apple Pay to check out? If that were the case I can see this being like the third party BNPL schemes such as Kl

Meanwhile Amex have just launched this exact model in the UK called "Plan It", though it costs a fixed fee per month of the loan.

Flashbacks to making a nice email template for a company only to find out their entire client list used outlook from a decade earlier and could just about render plaintext. There was no point in me even showing up.

As a child I once ate an entire jar of the German stuff that comes in a little stein in a couple of days just to have the tiny glass. It was like the toy in a cereal box except for odd children.

I'm just annoyed the price of BA flights has dramatically increased since people started paying attention to the planes being flown by each airline. Please go back to your death traps!
