If America wants to compete with China, it must fund its engines of commerce.

High speed rail must link every major city. How can businesses make deals without cheap public transport to connect people?

Startups need to focus on innovation. Healthcare plans are a distraction. Full single-payer healthcare is essential if American businesses are to stay innovative.

Were I a VC intellectual I would demand these heretical ideas and more. Somehow I doubt they’d go down well - they’re the wrong sort of heracy.

I just feel sorry for him at this point. Not as much as I feel sorry for America, but I do feel sorry for him. When he dies, he will die not having known the best things in life. No true love, no actual friends, no peace. Money has not bought him happiness. Maybe he was born into a prison of his family’s making, but all he’s done is build up the walls and seal the doors. He’s a tragic, pitiful character rather than a beacon of strength or success.

Erm, make sure you put him in an actual prison too, though. Good luck, Yanks, your tea-drinking cousins still want the best for you despite everything 🇬🇧

What I really need is a droid who speaks the binary language of moisture vaporators.

I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it

Bye, Melania!

There are two main types of data retention policy:

• Retain everything to protect the company when the staff do something dodgy.
• Delete everything to protect management when management do something dodgy.

It’s a little more nuanced than that, of course, but in broad strokes that’s how I’ve seen it play out. Does the company want to pin the blame on somebody or shrug and say “we have no idea how that can have happened, guess we need to forget about it.”

If it’s your car, then you are responsible for the safety of your passengers. You should ensure that any adults are aware of how to use the safety features, e.g. seatbelts, and you have a plan for evacuation of any children in the event of an emergency. Just like if you’re driving a car with child safety locks on the rear doors that prevent those doors from being opened from the inside.

Hate on Tesla or Musk all you want, but let’s not spread easily-disprovable FUD. It weakens whatever argument you’re trying to make.

Looks like 17. Doubt they had much fun at the end.

Wrong. RTFM.

This is a rather slow response from me, but I’m glad that you clicked blindly on my Spotify link and were rewarded 😊 I’d recommend the live concert DVD as well - with a guest appearance by a certain behatted author who came out to see his favourite band play an album based on his books. And frankly from there I’d recommend everything Steeleye Span have ever recorded.

I sometimes dream of having a display shelf of doomed, terrible tech products. A Nexus Q, a Google Glass, an R1, an AI Pin, a CueCat… you get the idea.

That’s right, it goes in the square hole.
