That was the right thing to do. It would've felt wrong using Women's Month just to make money. Also, there will be other pop-up markets anyway.

BOY DO I HAVE A STORY ABOUT THIS. STRAP IN, FOLKS.

A few years back, my retired father replaced all the light switches in his house with smart switches that he could activate by talking to Alexa. It was a useful accommodation for an elderly man who gets dizzy when he stands up.

That is, until...

WHY DO ALL THESE HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES WANT TO BE CONNECTED TO THE BLOODY INTERNET? Our landlady installed light switches that don't work properly unless you use them in conjunction with an app. I don't want a fucking app for light switches. I just want to switch a light on and off, using a switch.

Engineering,

My calisthenics program has a problem. Instead of proper opponents the holodeck is only creating cartoon ponies.

Where things stand with the Department of War A statement from Dario Amodei

I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that it’s not become a question of β€œshould our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?” but β€œto what extent?”
