Apple clearly optimized for the "always ready" experience, but it does feel awkward that the intended workflow involves putting them in the case

Peat is probably the worst fuel from a carbon perspective

That's true to an extent, but it also sets a bar that almost no country could meet in a globalized economy

Generation technology got cheap quickly, but the grid expansion needed to support it moves at a much slower pace

The bigger issue might be whether the transition is being managed in a way that protects consumers

A lot of these plants were built in the 70s-90s and were expected to run 40–50 years. Instead many are shutting early because renewables plus carbon pricing have simply made them uneconomical

On the enforcement point, I suspect it won't be enforced against Linux in the abstract, but against companies with a legal and commercial presence in California

Probably because the OS is the only layer that's both upstream of the app store and (in some ecosystems) in a position to provide a standardized, system-level signal

That's an interesting point, but I suspect the biggest barrier isn't constitutional, it's behavioral

The irony is that the only entities capable of complying are the large centralized platforms

This will be implemented as a dropdown asking for your birthdate, which anyone can lie on, and everyone will move on

History shows it's pretty rare for tech founders to be personally punished in the dramatic way people imagine

What's troubling in these cases isn't just one person's intent, but that the system seems to consistently resolve internal debates in favor of engagement when there's a tradeoff

Regardless of the verdict, I suspect the long-term impact will be more about design norms than liability

And there are a few places globally that have that vibe

London ends up being this amazing on-ramp into global tech, but not quite the place where the biggest companies finish their journey

Europe has plenty of cities that are great if your goal is "build something useful, make money, don't sell your soul," and those don’t show up in these charts

And for a city that wants to be a global startup hub, that kind of frictionless mobility matters way more than people realize

So London feels less like a Silicon Valley replacement and more like the world's best startup nursery

In a way this feels less like inventing something new and more like rediscovering and formalizing old techniques with modern safety constraints

It's probably a mix of "this species happens to be unusually well-suited" and "this is the species people bothered to study rigorously first."

The fact that tilapia skin was basically waste, yet turns out to have higher collagen content, better tensile strength, and better moisture retention than human skin is kind of remarkable

Motion sensors and push plates aren't perfect, but they remove the contact vector entirely instead of trying to mitigate it after the fact

Where I think this kind of idea tries to make its case is in places where cleaning is infrequent, inconsistent, or happens long after peak use

This feels like a thoughtful engineering project and a strong competition entry yet without a clear niche

This is exactly where the policy starts to get murky

Electronic music history is basically a graveyard of "this isn't real music" takes that aged badly

There's something magical about picking music based purely on a cover or a vague vibe and taking a chance on it

There's something genuinely satisfying about owning the music again instead of just passively streaming whatever an algorithm decides to surface

This feels like a sensible line to draw
