It was OV Fiets. Maybe the issue is that I wasn't supposed to have it on the train back from Utrecht during certain hours. Or a certain car. Despite receiving this info, I wasn't fined or anything.

I rented one of those in Amsterdam then rode the beautiful tree-lined path along canals to Utrecht one day. I then rode back with the bike to Amsterdam. When I arrived, I was told this was not allowed, but it wasn't clear why. Maybe th

Since LaLiga has no qualms with blocking Cloudflare IP's that could be used for emergency services. A cautionary tale: In 2025, Optus suffered a network outage that prevented emergency calls (triple-0 in Australia) for nearly 14 hours.

You're right, I should have qualified that this is a limited use. But the limit is, in practice, quite fluid. They won't make a lawsuit over a slumber party. Probably not for a meetup. I expect they will for a theatre. Will they f

I can't intuit moral reasoning for why a media rights holder has the right to restrict a rebroadcast. They put it out there to reach a wide audience. Why can't I receive it and share it? I can play physical copies of music and mov

Sure. Me too. But I also sometimes want to watch the games at a bar, with my friends. And the rate they charge bars in Europe is extortionately high. I wouldn't be surprised if those are the primary targets in this crackdown.

Intriguing. I wonder if an Arabic reader looks more prominently at the right side (Europe), the way an English speaker looks more prominently at the left side (Africa). Would be interesting to see a world map designed with latitude vertical

'Delayed dependency updates' is a response to supply-side attacks in the JavaScript world, but it aptly describes how I have come to approach technology broadly. Large tech companies, as with most industry, have realized most peop

Unilever turned down an offer to buy back for a cool two billionish, as the article mentions. I would love to see the legal catfight as a new brand called GFBJ (Genocide-Free Ben and Jerry's) opens for sale across a series of supermark

I was highly disappointed with Sontag's piece because it felt dismissive of the joy and craft of painting with light. As the tools available for faking it have become ubiquitous, and the bias more up front and center, I've come to

This one rhetorical trick is why I'm flummoxed at the ubiquitous parroting of the fossil fuel's industry's invention of the terminology 'climate change'. The anthropogenic causes are proven. It's not climate ch
