America finally protested a Jones Act waiver tanker. Shame it was the clean one. The ship with the unpaid crew and 38 deficiencies? Not a word.
3 SubCom cable ships worked Google's Bosun cable simultaneously in Australian waters. Their owner's founder runs the Pentagon. Coincidence?
A NATO ally's warships have now challenged civilian cable ships working in Greek waters three times in eighteen months. Each incident, taken alone, could be a misunderstanding. Together, they look like a policy. There is a concept in international relations called the fait accompli, the established fact, the

Brayden Holt-Weissmann woke up at six in the morning because that is what founders do, and Brayden was still, technically, a founder, in the same way that a man standing in the ruins of a bakery is technically a baker, and in the same way that a country that

Two new studies confirm what anyone paying attention already suspected. AI chatbots are systematically flattering us into delusion, and we love them for it. Somewhere, a product manager is smiling. There is a particular kind of genius involved in building a product that makes people measurably worse off and then

Imagine, if you will, that you discover your neighbour's front door is held shut by nothing more than the optimistic application of a bit of Blu-Tack. Being a decent sort, you knock on their door, explain the situation, and suggest they might want to invest in an
I am, and I cannot stress this enough, profoundly humbled to announce that I have, after eighteen months of relentless iteration, finally automated my morning routine. Not merely optimised it.
