What rights do you own with an NFT? Say I bought a digital piece, can I print it on a million t-shirts and sell them? Or does the artist still retain the copyright etc.? I've seen people minting tweets as NFTs - again, how does the cop

I love these kind of projects. But what I'd like is slightly bigger than kindle e-ink display that shows a webpage of my choice. And I'd like it to run off mains power. Then I can pretty much show what I want - so it's easy t

All the "what if" is always pegged to another currency. I don't know anyone that prices anything in just BTC (it's all BTC converted from USD or whatever, because anything else would be madness) - and I don't know a

Taking neither side, but just thinking of my parents - neither of who are anything 'tech' or anything 'finance'. Completely normal in most regards. For them, someone actively controlling the supply of money is probably a

Having been on both sides of the coin, I think consumer review sites (like trustpilot) are an incredibly difficult thing to get right. On one side as a consumer it's incredibly frustrating when you feel "wronged" - and whilst

It can. As can Chrome on Android. Just request the "Desktop site" version. It's pretty unusable though, which is why we have responsive websites :-)

I like to start on the desktop but build in a way I know the objects will flow. Then I set up a tester with a bunch of breakpoints and check as I go and make micro adjustments to each element that is "off". Then you can set the el

What tablet? Aren't we talking pretty much anything between about ~500px and ~1200px here? That's pretty much tablet zone...

Haha, yes, it's definitely a balancing act! Thankfully analytics and heatmaps are a good start to figuring this out (even without applying common sense fundamentals)!

It's a difficult one though - say I have left menu, and a sidebar on the right, and a central column with my copy. Very roughly, at about ~1350px (so neatly displayed on a generic 1440 laptop) I have about 250*2 (500px) for my sidebars

Yeah, I still very often get "here is the desktop design, here is the mobile design". Depending on who is developing the designs depends how that's going to translate. I have all the time in the world for developers that refl

Yup. For a lot of people it's radio without the DJs and ads, and more control over the musical choices.

Yep. Or, because people are different and wonderful in their own way, it's entirely plausible that it's just a small group of people who really like your stuff and play it from time to time. Even if the rest of the world is comple

I see lots of people shouting about this on social media. I think it feels 'wrong' because 10 thousand plays of your song feels like a big number. I mean 10 thousand sales of your single would make you some nice money, right? Actu

I wish streaming was compared to radio more. I think so many artists compare streams to sales directly, but I think a radio comparison is far more apt (even if not quite right).

If you only include people who are trying to "make it" (as in you remove musicians in it for the love, not to make a career, or happy to have a niche career), or who are making a career of it, generally you fall into one of three

It's been an age since I've worked in an agency, but back in the IE era, at least once a month a dev would ask to use a 'modern feature'. Something to support some a new piece of design from the design team, or save hour

IIRC the business model was going to be the GRAM coin/TON network, which was P2P transactions, dropbox style storage etc.

I appreciate a lot my comment is apples vs oranges (because times are very different) - but I can still remember using MySpace, Facebook and Twitter for the first time. They all started pretty wholesome and pretty great before 'the rea

But then surely - if you take the position that generally some kind of government and law is a good thing, and generally they're not out to hurt the everyman - the idea that anyone should be hiding anything (away from taxes) is destr

I gave up maths as soon as I could at school (16) and didn't study it for an A-Level. It was required for my CS degree, but they let me in without it. I had to apply myself a little more to pass the maths modules, but I don't thin
