This is exactly the sort of thing a government should be doing in a free market. Fair access to pricing information is essential to the operation of a free market. Now do this for all EV charging stations.

About a year ago I had to buy a new Xbox. It took me time to figure out what model I had and what the new models are. It’s the least intuitive marketing on the market.

A physical keyboard like a Treo/Palm Pre, enough storage to store all my photos and say GrapheneOS and I would be in.

Sir Leon Bagrit covered this topic in the first BBC Reith Lecture and it’s worth a read/listen if you’re interested in this topic.

Making the two new UK aircraft carriers dependent on natural gas has to be one of the worst military procurement decisions of the modern era.

What sort of people get O-1 visas? I assume it is people with multiple degrees and have decades of experience in a specific field?

I am good at what I do, have done public speaking at major conferences on what I do but no degree and so assume that i've no chance of ever getting into the USA. Currently a UK citizen living in Ireland.

A UK startup is working on fusion powered rocket boosters with intentions to have a working demonstration in 2027.

While this sounds like a lot of vapourware it would be excellent if it does work.

A man has died, that is sad.

Under his watch he did not move the church to fully acknowledge or deal with the historical and widespread abuses the organization he led was involved with. He had opportunity to be the leader to bring the organization around and he did not. Let's all hope his replacement will.

This is neat and I share your frustration. I've wanted to build this for a while and nice to see you've got something up.

Can't wait to see this grow into the tool I think we all need.
