The problem with USB-a isn't that it's non reversible, it's that it's non-reversible _and_ rectangular, so it's not clear at a glance which way round it should go. All they had to do was make the connector have a no

How old are you? If you're reasonably young, and vaccinated, you really don't need to worry about COVID this badly. Practically everyone I know has had COVID by now and for most of them it was not much worse than catching a cold

Plenty of people, myself included, use Brave as a privacy-focused web browser without using or caring about any of its crypto features. Hell, I've been using Brave for years and I'm still not even sure what its crypto features are

> there are still no discernible use cases for it. You are wrong. There's at least one discernible use case for Blockchain: the facilitation of crime. To that end, it's been very successful.

You don't put those on until you're actually in bed trying to sleep. It still messes with you that it doesn't get dark when it's late and bedtime is approaching.

I'm so lost. I'd never heard of this guy or FTX until a couple of days ago. Can someone give me a link to the best and (this is important) most succinct summary of what the hell happened here? Why did all this money vanish, and wh

It's a buzzword used to disguise the fact that blockchain has completely failed to live up to any of its promises. In 2017 everyone was saying that "blockchain" was the future of everything and you'd be a fool not to inv

Honestly the only place I've noticed it is the petrol pump. Fuel prices shot up dramatically early in the year. They're back down now from the peak, but still higher than they were a year ago.

In the UK? Typically just one race: you vote to elect your local MP. You might also vote for someone to represent you in the devolved Welsh/Scottish/Northern Irish governments if you live in those countries, but that's only 1

"Europe" isn't a unified system. Those benefits definitely don't exist in the UK, and I'd still consider our labour laws to be well-balanced and reasonably fair to both employees and employers.

A lot of people reading this aren't going to understand what you mean by "checkout Postman". I'm guessing you mean "read Neil Postman's books"? If so, I agree - especially Amusing Ourselves to Death .
