Can you elaborate more on Gen X opening doors for younger generations? Amidst all the anti-Boomer/anti-Millennial rhetoric I tend to see bandied about online, I rarely hear anything about what good or bad Gen X has done, at least in th

Agreed. Been a fan of Egan for years and I've never met anyone who reads his books for the prose. Egan's stories are a delivery package for the ideas he wants to present, and nothing more. Interestingly, that is why I enjoy his wo

I don't know about elsewhere, but I regularly set up small self-hosted web servers at my home (Midwest US) and have never heard a peep from my ISP about it. Some of the aforementioned servers get 25 - 50 unique visits on a high day, an

You mention needing exercises after each chapter for maths, but I find this lacking in far too many technical books I pick up. Most of them take the "good enough" approach were the chapter exercise is really just some limp-wristed

No. The APA has an ethics code, but that's about it. Even the Hippocratic Oath is not as legally binding as we might want it to be.

I do the same. Every quarter, I head to B&N, grab the latest 2600 and maybe browse for Make:, Nuts & Volts and Linux Format. I formerly had a subscription to 2600, but canceled it after realizing it was sold at B&N, which surpri

Who needs evidence when there is no real enforceable penalty for doing so? Credit card companies sell our data. Ancestry services probably sell our data. They might put signs in the windows saying "your data is safe with us" but

In Michigan, it's cannabis or personal injury lawyers, which is pretty on brand for us. I wonder if you can tell what a whole state is about just by looking at the billboards.

The Gom Jabbar was the poisoned needle held at Paul's neck. The box, if I recall, had no name and was only a vehicle for the perceived pain delivered to Paul's hand.

Not exactly. It was an arms race. Through intelligence efforts, both "sides" knew the other was working on these new and destructive tech, so it became a game of finishing first wins the crown. The Cold War era follows, and the Sw

There is no universal answer to this. With everyone having varied amounts of available time, other commitments and responsibilities, neurodivergences and other factors, it is impossible to come up with some kind of formula that applies to a

It is my opinion that people do not about privacy as much as they did in your mention Cold War-era times (or the tail end of it, anyway). They've been shown how easy it is to trade their privacy for considerable convenience and now the

I like the positive energy, but this is not a practical solution. For more context, I work a lot of over-time at my current (US) job. Outside of work, I have a home and family to take care of. Time is an expensive commodity in my world. Don

This is good advice and I need to start taking it. I am one of those rare people who could get hired on skill alone. It's not working anymore, leaving me stuck in a dead-end position.
