post How Labour already fixed the biggest policy problem in tech
There is so much to say about what has taken place over the past eight weeks in the UK. I’d probably find it easier to write about those things if I wasn’t just taking the time to enjoy the feeling of fourteen years of stress evaporating off of my shoulders. Seriously, I’ve been …

JD Vance is an obvious, bald-faced opportunist. It makes sense that Trump would pick him as his Vice Presidential candidate; they probably understand each other quite well.It can’t have hurt that a bevy of tech billionaires told Trump to pick him, and it’s not unreasonable to …

Back when South by Southwest wasn’t terrible, there used to be an annual panel called Browser Wars populated with representatives from the main browser vendors (except for Apple, obviously, who would never venture onto a stage outside of their own events).
