Depending on your point of view, his recent performance was either historic, or a thoroughly delusional and yet an entertaining plan. Bukele last week unveiled a plan that will see El Salvador, fresh from making bitcoin legal tender, potentially issue $1 billion in “volcano bonds” that would be half used to purchase bitcoin, with the other half used to construct a Bitcoin City. This libertarian paradise would have no taxation, except for a value-added tax, and would get completely clean thermal power from a nearby volcano....

As the father of two teenage boys, much of his spare time was dedicated to supporting their sports activities. But both his partner on the project and his client had two young daughters and all four of these girls were up to something very different. Along with millions of other girls (and a much smaller number of boys) all across the US, they were taking over their parents’ kitchens and having friends round to make slime, a stretchy, highly tactile substance made from a combination of white school glue and borax (although other recipes without the risks of borax also became popular especially with the parents of even younger kids)....

GPS is everywhere. And it’s a bit boring. Apple is now packing “precision dual‑frequency GPS” into the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max line, as well as the Apple Watch Ultra.

After all, I took a walk today with my iPhone and Apple Watch, neither of which use the precision dual‑frequency GPS feature, and they had no trouble knowing where I was the whole time....

For instance, before it was acquired by Twitter in 2014, Gnip competed on its aggregation from a few select social media outlets....
