Somebody introduces a new technology to address these concerns every couple years and it doesn't go anywhere. These aren't actually problems to a lot of users. That's the real problem that needs to be solved - awareness. And

Microsoft hired Kim Cameron at the tail end of the last decentralized digital identity craze and once built an OS feature (CardSpace) to support it. I really doubt anyone there is afraid of sovereign identity.

Oh dear yes! Double digit hours to queue up the emails, DAYS for our rack of 1U Sun pizza boxes to send them. And sometimes we'd queue up five different campaigns at once to send out the following week. Those were interesting times to

Transitioning my gender. Living my truth. Coming out to everyone in my life and being forced to confront the shame that held me back for decades. It took a lot of reflection and was cause for a lot of growth. But now I'm not only menta

I'd take it back even further: We started out on mainframes. Then things moved to the desktop, with some centralized functionality on servers (shared drives, batch jobs). The processing moved to centralized web servers via the web, SAA

In part…updatability. Let's say you bought a 100-baseT network card in 1995. The features were fixed in metal, and so were the bugs. Even if a new revision of the board or ROM came out, you still had the exact same card. If a flaw was

You'll see the US's extended ZIP codes referred to as Zip+4, as they have nine digits instead of the usual five. So, 90210-1234 refers to a specific Delivery Sector and Delivery Segment within Beverly Hills. The segment can be a p

She's the ghost in the machine. (Given the quality of the video, I'd be inclined to think 1983 rather than 1993)
