Not solely an autobiography but one I enjoyed reading the most recently was The Road to Jonestown: Jim Jones and Peoples Temple by Jeff Guinn . Starts off with a deep dive into the Jones family and goes down the chilling path from there.

From the news reports I’ve read, including Ulbricht's, it's enough for law enforcement to just find out who you are. They can then set up a sting operation where the target inadvertently leaves their laptop exposed with the keys t

This works with many messaging apps, but I don't find it works with apps that don't have a textbox meant for pasting photos; the UI assumes the only way the user wants to share photos is by enabling Photos access.

So I’ve heard about this feature before but I’m not sure it actually exists? From the Photos app you can only share specific photos with specific apps that add themselves to the popout menu. If you disable Photos access to any of these apps

I don’t use Soulver that much anymore other than while travelling, but it’s great for tracking my travel budget on my phone: able to clearly list what I’ve bought, for how much, what the grand total is in my home currency and leave comments

Are you sure? Looking at my Soulver macOS receipt I did purchase it for $10 in 2012. I can't tell if it was a sale price but would be coincidental to have the same price cut 7-years apart.

This server is still running on my machine despite having "removed" Zoom a few months ago (macOS). Guess I was a bit naive in thinking just trashing the .app and immediate artifacts in Library would do the trick. EDIT: I missed th

It depends on the specific industry in tech. Do programmers in general tech startups have enough power? I’d say yes too. Do programmers in the gaming industry have enough power? Definitely not.

I’ve had both a Kindle and Kobo. The latter seemed like the better device because it felt less-tethered to bloatware I don't care about that the Kobo has (Pocket, gamification, etc.) and has decent GoodReads integration. Kindle does su

See if there's a Shambhala centre ( https://shambhala.org/ ) or another place that has beginners group meditation sessions near you. The sessions will likely be longer than what you’re used to. But there's less chan

Mentioned in a few related threads about Facebook and e-commerce dark patterns: we don't put our peers to task enough and make them aware about the potential harm they do. Another comment here also mentioned that consequential actions

BioWare is a good case study since a few articles and books have been written about their history (one of the co-founders also has a few videos on YouTube about how they managed the business). If you read enough of of them you can see BioWa

I was thinking about this more but you’re right. I doubt there’s any acquired knowledge needed to know what’s repugnant to the human mind.

Probably not the ones—if any—that lurk 4chan and other extreme imageboards, having been desensitized to such content or probably even get something off of it. I actually wonder now how much of their workforce would fit in that demographic.

Platforms started by many people—thousands in this case—have way more leverage than a single person trying to do the same. It may not be impossible, but in this case it should be sane to assume it would be a waste of energy for a single per

Pi-Hole is a great tool, just make sure to be exhaustive in your testing to see if it will break any services you depend on. When I unboxed my old Kindle one day I couldn’t get syncing to work and had no idea why for several days until I tr

It’s a colossal move but we have to move the marketplace away from the current growth capitalism towards one of real utility.

I see this excuse a lot. Maybe it’s a valid reason in some industries. But IMHO it’s likely just a convenient excuse someone plays to further procrastinate on making the though decision now so they don’t have to make a tougher, maybe-very
