To clarify - the hard part is not the destruction of data you know about, it's the identification of data on devices you don't know about, or forget. Computers with hard disks are obvious, but also consider mobile phones, tablets,

I used to be cavalier about HDD disposal, and then one day I helped a friend recover some files from their apparently dead HDD. We did not recover the files but we did find unencrypted passwords to email accounts and other sensitive inform

Not sure this would be as effective if I stood around puffing on a pencil. I don't know, I've never smoked except once when I was 11.

I tend to introversion, and networking in a room filled with people wears me out faster than just about anything else. So, given that my social energy is limited, here's what I do: * Have a concrete goal for each event, things like: sm

It sounds like you need to focus your job-hunting efforts on charitable organisations. Phone those orgs and ask to speak with the people in charge of software development. In the meantime you could volunteer as a programmer - it's a ni

Guaranteed minimum income is based on need, basic income is based on citizenship.

Coding's demise is both inevitable (for certain types of coding) and improbable (for other types). The debate hinges on how you define coding. I wrote about this when Visual Studio LightSwitch promised "CODING OPTIONAL" (verb
