Interesting Things on the Internet: January 15th 2018

• 15 Years of SparkFun. Great look back at the trials and tribulations of growing one of the biggest names in the maker tech community.
• Considerations On Cost Disease. Thought-provoking article about how everything (fsvo everything, obviously) is more expensive and yet not as good as it used to be. Seems like something that's hard to tackle, but important for us to try.
• ‘Why Am I So Lazy?’ I needed this.
• Human scale technology.
• Stop using Facebook and start using your browser. Although if you're reading this, you probably already know that. Doesn't change the fact that we should be looking for ways to make the real web easier to use.
• Nationalisation, by any other name? An interesting proposal for a new type of company to experiment with different ways of running "natural" monopolies. More of this sort of thinking (and ideally trying out too) please.
