A friend somehow got one of the DVDs once, except it was the sequel: Ex-con fights. He made us watch it one night and it was really uncomfortable. Every fight ends with an epileptic seizure after somebody's head got kicked too many tim

The cost of two first world nuclear armed nations going to war can't really be measured in dollars. Even if nukes didn't come into play, I'm listening to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History episodes on the War in the Pacific r

Trump is a bad and scary man, but one of the only good things he's done is post this tweet: "I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the

There is nothing those protestors would like more than a violent response. Imagine the social media response. The leadership is scared of sparking a bigger fire

All the social media sites did the research and learned that filter bubbles and outrage drives engagement more than anything else. If you tune your systems to maximize engagement and ignore the side effects, the side effects still happen, w

“The Police” is an over generalization. We shouldn’t ask the police to both intervene while also calling all of them fascists.

I think that the republicans have benefitted a lot from hyperbole and insults. People need to tone down their language

What do you use to track whether your site is growing or shrinking in popularity? Server logs? If so, I’m curious whether not being able to filter out bot visits is a problem

I used matomo once for a basic Wordpress blog (with cloudron) but for some reason it led to my site being flagged as distributing malware and I vanished from search engines. Apparently there is a Microsoft form you need to fill out to get u

Disreputable and reputable services alike change ip all the time. The only people who don’t are home users and I suspect VPN users. I don’t fully understand how this is supposed to help you decide if something is safe

Hmm... my mom forgot her outlook password recently and doesn’t have a cell phone so she can’t get any auth codes. She says she can’t find a way to contact support. Any suggestions?

To let those advertisers do the experiments themselves, and to relate the campaign to in store sales, would require Facebook and google to share a ton lot of internet-user tracking data

The show “Alive” makes me think of colosseums sometimes. It is a reality show about surviving in the wild, except that they drop you in at the start of the fall where there is no food and the end of every season is a starvation and sufferin

I’ve been worrying lately that something could go wrong with my password manager one day and the damage that it could cause, even if it was just data loss by a server. I suppose we should all be creating backups of our managed passwords in

Technical debt can slow down product development, which means you can’t iterate quickly enough to compete or to get product market fit. I’m working on a game right now and there’s some debt in there just to get content ready to demo, but ev
