That same ability might lead people to ban people wearing smart glasses from participating. If we were having a party, we’d almost certainly not allow people to keep their smart glasses on because the complete lack of friction would mean ce

I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, but it’s not money that’s corrupting. I find the moralizing of these actions quite frustrating because they seem to indicate people don’t actually understand why things work the way do. The C-suite

Maybe if they had a few more meetings they might have realized that handing over their entire logistics and all that data entails to their biggest competitor and one of the most ruthless businesses in the world was not such a bright idea. I

Maybe the real problem is that the ASF has been adopting too many abandoned projects that have been “donated” by much bigger entities (e.g. Google donating Wave). This is the right thing to do from a helping the world perspective, but it’s

It was clearly the immigration because there was nothing else going on at the time that could explain the changes.

I’m not buying the “use their devices more” argument. I doubt GenZ is online significantly more than millennials. I suspect the real reason is that GenZ, unlike millennials, are not digital natives. They’re smartphone natives. And therefore

Switzerland signed the Schengen Agreement in 2008. It’s unlikely they have border controls since then although they probably did before.

In the context of China’s economic crisis it’s far more relevant. The 7.2mm homes, if they don’t get occupied, can at least be used as homes by the people who own them, many of whom have put their entire life savings into these places. The

I think the wider death of P2P technology is really frustrating. Self-hosting is close to dying. Shoutcast style radio streaming is dying/dead. Torrenting as mentioned is being suppressed. Even an excellent use of P2P software, Skype,

There are free captions generators for many languages that can do this. It seems like a no brainer to just go down that path. Maybe even invite your viewers to share errors in the captions.
