Led me to wonder what happens if a domain gets a new owner, and they want to petition Apple to remove the block.

Instead it’s the more wordy “created a duke”, since his status was both created and granted to him. The title “Duke of Wellington” was expressly created for him.

Fun fact, he should have been “Duke of Wellesley”, but his elder brother, Richard Wellesley, had already been made Marquess Wellesley.

Since the peerage from Viscount to Marquess to Duke would ended up with two brothers potentially sharing the same title, they chose to give Arthur the title Viscount Wellington, from the town where the family heritage was connected to.

Therefore his title peerage line:

Viscount Wellington -> Earl of Wellington -> Marquess of Wellington -> Duke of Wellington

He was also technically a Baron before Viscount but he received that peerage the same day as his Viscount title.

Outside British peerage he held some other cool honors and titles. As well as being the Prince of Waterloo in Belgium the the Netherlands, he was granted the honor of “Knight of the Golden Fleece” in Spain, “Knight of the Black Eagle” in Prussia, and my personal favorite was “Knight of the Elephant” in Denmark.

In the UK we have lots of reminders of him namely because of the large number of pubs called “The Duke of Wellington”.

We are in the midst of a paradigm shift, and the perspective in the daring fireball post aligns exactly with this author’s perspective:

I seem to remember it was available at the same time as the Winamp skins / viz craze.

I once saw 4 of the SGI Onyx2 RealityMonster supercomputers in a post-production house’s render farm in London.

They were so expensive, ($1m+ per computer) that it was only financially viable if they were engaged on client work 24/7/365. Damn gorgeous things and they turned the display of those into almost an art piece for wow-ing film studio execs.

Fun times.

The use of “complexity” in terms of systems theory in comparison to “complicated”, is often misunderstood.

I also agree that it’s a really good framework for evaluating problems and then making decisions on potential solutions because each has its own set of approaches.

Small nick pick. It’s “Cynefin” not “Cynefine”. The word is Welsh (Cymraeg). Roughly pronounced ke-ne-fin.

Where do you source it from? What tools are most effective?

I’d love to see a more technical article on how that would work as someone who isn’t a data scientist.

I looked on Hugging Face and saw there was a 163GB historical Polymarket dataset. Is that a good place to start?

Our first computer was an Acorn BBC B Microcomputer.

Once everyone takes the stance of waiting 2 weeks, we are all back to the same situation.

I don’t like the suggestion to “wait for others to be the unfortunate victims, so that I can benefit from their misfortune”.

Surely there’s a better way.

The U.S. was born out of Puritanism. That prudishness and absolutism continues to echo through into its modern culture. Most people don’t even realize it does.

I used to have quite a few customer hosted at Rackspace in the early 2010’s and I always thought it sad they dropped the ball when they got bought out by private investment and they fired most of the talent. I loved their API and the docs were really good.

If I have the same repo also open in VSCode, it’s also aware of that fact, so you can give it context (a file or selected lines of code).
