In 20 years somebody will write an article about missing this ‘old’ internet from 2021.

I wonder what they will miss.

> Production of low-margin processors, such as those used to weigh clothes in a washing machine or toast bread in a smart toaster, has also been hit. While most retailers are still able to get their hands on these products at the moment, they may face issues in the months ahead.

I understand why the new advanced chips could face shortages, but why are there shortages for these basic chips. Can’t they be made anywhere, and more easily?

Let’s say a half filled bottle lasts 4 days in the fridge.

The article doesn’t mention much longer a transfer to a half-sized bottle lasts with very little space for oxygen?

This all feels like you’re getting a false sense of security.

Great, you are reducing your footprint but what remains is undeniably vast.

> You can compare the use of alarm clocks to smoking or eating hot dogs.

Wow. That’s a big statement, surely comparing alarms to smoking is a bit much?

That’s an attention grabbing headline number, but what it doesn’t tell you is what would alternatives mean in terms of co2 emissions?

Let’s say we take cement out or drastically reduce it. Where does co2 sit in increased consumption of viable alternatives.

My other question is will this make pre-IPO sales fairer?

If historically sales have been over the phone there is the chance people are getting deals based on relationships or priority access.

You could make the case that this will make the process more transparent.

This will leave an enormous black hole in news discovery.

The real question is what new discovery methods will fill this massive hole.

It won’t be newspapers, that’s for sure

Makes sense. Lots depend on Github for CI/CD.

Having your country shut off from Github could break a lot of stuff.

For something that is so central to our day to day lives and our health and well-being, it doesn’t feel like there is enough focus on what goes into our gut.

By that I mean the number of people that test for allergies and intolerance feels low when you consider the potential payoff.

Just knowing that avoiding certain foods your body doesn’t tolerate can massively improve your quality of life if you are indeed intolerant.

Understand your point, but if I was a customer there is zero chance I am investing a cent with them.

My thinking is if they do this with Citibank and a hundred million, I have no confidence in being able to recover my own money in case of a dispute.
