Spaniard here. The 'siesta' is just to combat - avoid - midday heat, specially in southern regions.

I thought that biphasic sleep was a fact, since there is plenty of evidence of ‘first sleep’ and ‘second sleep’ in doctors’ prescriptions from the pre-industrial era.

You are missing some context. Full quote below.I believe it is just a fancy way to say that the are rebuilding their backend to make it more scalable

>>>5a/ Machine-scale infrastructure.

>>> Others are bolting AI onto platforms built for human-rate commits. Git itself wasn't designed for agent-rate work.

>>> We're rebuilding the underlying infrastructure for machine scale: a generational rebuild of git, the monolith giving way to composable, monetized services with agent-first APIs.

>>> should-be-illegal process of putting debt on the acquired company's balance sheet

This is a basically a leveraged buyout (LBO). All private equity works this way. Yes, it should be illegal, or at least heavily limited.

I highly recommend this book: "Plunder: Private Equity’s Plan to Pillage America"

>>> In the last week we received ~470000 crash reports, these do not represent all crashes because it's an opt-in system, the real number of crashes will be several times larger

Having the number of unique machines would be great to see how skewed this estimate is.

It might have a place in its current state,as far as write speed goes

war and peace[1] is 3.2 MB in the plain text version, so it will take less than a second to store it.

>>> Apple, run your own RCS servers.

I believe they can't. RCS is implemented over IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), part of the mobile carrier infra and tightly tied to them (SIM card auth, APN settings pushed from the operator, etc)

... unless they become a mobile operator

From the actual report[1]

>>> Despite persistent material uncertainty around the global macroeconomic outlook, risky asset valuations have increased and credit spreads have compressed. Measures of risk premia across many risky asset classes have tightened further since the last FPC meeting in June 2025. On a number of measures, equity market valuations appear stretched, particularly for technology companies focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI). This, when combined with increasing concentration within market indices, leaves equity markets particularly exposed should expectations around the impact of AI become less optimistic.

Actually, the quoted 'sudden correction' is not referring specifically to AI, but the market in general

> According to some reports, sales of Synology’s 2025 NAS models dropped sharply in the months after the restriction was introduced. What did NAS customers purchase instead?

I honestly can’t believe anyone at Synology thought this would turn out differently.
