I think people in the future will look back on how we raise livestock today as barbaric.
A huge amount of the pollution comes from farmers burning stubble. The solution to that isn’t complex.
It’s not being sold off. It’s an investment. Raspberry Pi has suffered from supply shortages that could be mitigated by entering into a partnership with Arm — and which would help further its charitable goals. Sales were down by more than a quarter in 2022 due to shortages.
And Arm isn’t the only minority shareholder. Sony, which manufactures its boards in Wales, also owns a stake.
These aren’t unusual commercial decisions to secure manufacturing and supply, and therefore maximise the dividend it pays to the foundation, while retaining majority control.
Never been to India, huh?
India is the world’s biggest democracy. It’s the birthplace of four major religions, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and Jainism, and has one of the world’s largest populations of Muslims. It has 23 official languages.
The fact that it’s even still a country is a miracle of democracy (and cricket).

The cipher used by Mary Queen of Scots in the 1500s was just broken this year. It’s a good example of how communications were secured back in the day.
How can a human be illegal? And which law governs the Titanic sub’s operation?
Evangelicals are an almost entirely US phenomenon. In the rest of the world, Protestant countries like Germany and the UK are more liberal than Catholic countries like Ireland and Italy. For example, Italy “legalised” abortion in 1978 but the vast majority of gynaecologists refuse to perform them on religious grounds. Ireland didn’t legalise until… 2019!
