Are people voting this up because "ha-ha it's written by ChatGPT" ? Surely not because it's saying anything that's novel to the readers of this site ? It's a litany of generalities which provide no insight to a

Just wanted to say that I have listened to a number of episodes and enjoyed them. I think the basic idea is a sound one and that you executed it well, I liked being able to filter episodes by topic and I sometimes used it as a resource if I

There's a street near my house where I've seen the driver get out and start knocking on doors to find the owner of a particular car ! It's a narrow windy road with unrestricted parking, the drivers do an amazing job given the

A really good read, and actually quite instructive. I remember when they want to move the team from (I think) Massachusetts to North Carolina the response from some team members wasn't positive, I remember one commented "the news

Self-sovereign identity (1) has the concept of a Decentralized identifier (2) at its core and, as far as I understand it, most use cases rely on the DIDs being stored on a distributed ledger, which is generally Blockchain. Disclaimer: not a

On the rare occasion I've heard of this happening I've assumed the police want to get more people paying attention to the crime, in the hope that someone saw something useful, and at least half-way entertaining psychics is a great

The great thing about addall.com is that you can specify where you are in the world and it takes into account shipping costs. For me, shipping costs for single, second hand, books are routinely more than the cost of the book so this is real

I realise that the Chinese Communist Party would like to label any questioning of their activities as 'sinophobia' but it's not so. The CCP is one thing and the Chinese people are another.

A bad idea for little benefit. If it has to be done (and it should not be) the voter should make a selection and the machine should print a voting as slip, the voter should review the paper and then place it in the box, if there are any dis

Apologies for minor derail but that blog post explains how they use /etc/hosts in place of DNS and why. These are people who aren't afraid to take the less conventional path (or at least weren't in 2018). I like it, make

OK my post was ambiguous. What I was trying to convey was that just because others are making money from it doesn't mean that morally it's fine to do so oneself. Everyone has to make their own decisions, clearly supporting the pro

Could we all just pause to appreciate the, apparently unintended, irony in this narrative ? It starts with an inspiring story about how a steep rental increase drove JG and friends to start AirBnB. Fast forward 15 years and now AirBnB is a

Nice, thanks. I like the preview of the individual articles, it would be good if something similar happened when clicking on a tag node. For my taste that would be just a straightforward list of articles tagged in that way but I can imagine
