That, and the terms themselves tend to invoke clues about the meaning. Privacy implies there is an identity, but it is kept hidden. Anonymity implies there is no identity established so there is nothing to hide. We don't see much o

My guess is because OP, like the rest of us Americans, are taught to avoid thinking too deeply about how "freedom" and "property" tend to collide in very uncomfortable ways, but pine for both.

Like you, I have noticed this type of material to be always Linux focused as well and wondered why. I'd love to see something like an Over The Wire security challenge game that is based on Windows or manOS if anyone knows of them.

Do you know of a resource that explains character encoding in greater detail? Just for my own curiosity. I am learning web development and boy, they brow beat UTF-8 upon us which okay, I'll make sure that call is in my meta data, but n

Scratch that, I missed a paragraph in OP's post about the assassin. Definitely not SpaceTeam and more likely Among Us. Give SpaceTeam a try anyway. You have to love a game that bills itself as a "cooperative shouting game."

Are you thinking of SpaceTeam? We had a ton of fun with this game at a previous job. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sleepingbe...

I work in the industry that builds and integrates most of that stuff. We don't use that term. It's marketing woo which is why the other commenter has probably never heard it.

Might as well bring back play-by-post Dungeons & Dragons while we're at it. I know it's still going in a more modern capacity on myth-weavers.com and other sites, but I miss the mail version, chore that it was.

Do you mean like a block diagram? You might have to be more specific about the type of job you're working on.

We also need more manuals with dinosaurs.

This is a silly comparison. The table saw was not designed to be addictive, turn its users into a highly lucrative commodity, or push algorithmically driven agendas. Social media was. The dangers being compared here are very different.

Not really but sorta? I don't know that I'd call it contradiction so much as working with limited information. When we are alive, we want to be acknowledged, at the very least. We might think about making arrangements for our stuf

Sagan's old quote about making an apple pie applies, here, I think. Building on your sentiment, I have always felt that schools (in the US, at least) tend to teach students what to think rather than how to think. There is a huge em

I remember when calculators were the Forbidden Fruit because, according to maths teachers, we were "not going to be walking around with calculators in our pockets all the time."

Arduinos are for prototyping, which makes the application fairly massive. The company I work for used them to develop one of our machines before we moved to a custom board. So, I'd say they are pretty useful.

This is all I ask. I've never had an interest in weed, but I also don't think it should be illegal. After it was legalized in my state, I started second guessing my stance out of spite. I quickly got tired of not being able to do

This is a great comparison to make. I hadn't really considered this before from the privacy standpoint, so this gives me something to chew on. Appreciate it!

I keep seeing people use "dark forest" and I think I may have a different understanding which leaves me wondering "why would you want this to happen?" My take on the dark forest comes from game theory, where nobody is

This sounds like it would be useful to me at work. The types of projects I have to manage are often dependent on other tasks and shifting timelines, so a lot of the existing project management software I have tried feels "close but not

I work in a similar way. If I focus on a problem for too long at a stretch, I find myself running in circles. I have to break things up with a distraction, oddly said distraction being a different problem, sometimes. It's uncanny how s

Your word choice of "catered" in reference to meeting the needs of people is interesting. Do you feel that suffering is part of being a citizen? Needs are not something to be "catered" to, but met with reasonable effort,

Likely more accurate. I'm not sure why anyone thinks any surviving development in an organism is due to this "one weird trick" thing, as opposed to a multitude of factors that rendered that organism fit for their environment,

Thank you for the corrections! Looks like I have to revisit some history. I never did make it that far back in the Off The Hook archives, despite being a 2600 subscriber for about the last decade. Hacking history is nothing short of muddy w
