Not the best book, but the maddest was IQ84 by Haruki Murakami. It’s a wild story and lead me down a path to read several of his other books.

In a similar vein, when I first got an e-reader I downloaded the old English version of Adam Smiths The Wealth of Nations. It was eye opening. While I’ve forgotten a large amount of the detail the overall themes are embedded in my mind.

Not to put a downer but have you also perhaps created a liability for your club? If you don’t fully grasp what is going on with the code have you potentially left the door open to exploits?

I watched this video on Youtube a few months ago that's very insightful! It's about an arcade game from the 70's called Sega JET ROCKET: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0qlfEuzj6U

It states “his illegal breeding operation was widespread, involved other states and endangered the health of other wildlife”… I bet the cloning/hybrid animal is only the headline piece and there is way more to the story than is let on.

Perhaps it was someone trying to get around sanctions on Russian imports, was found out and refused entry/ abandoned?

There's a great TV show called "Halt And Catch Fire" that parallels the development of the tech industry, including what I think may be a nod to CompuServe mentioned in the article. It's only four seasons, it has some f

Bingo, you hit the nail on the head. At that point in time my friend group were skaters and rockers with bands - the internet was a connection to that world that was in short supply in the small town we grew up in.

You’re retelling of your Atari story has resurfaced memories of me fiddling with a Commodore 64 tape drive to make some game work :) After this post, perhaps tech for kids need to be difficult to encourage learning.

100% correct, they with their advertising agency invented the idea that 'diamonds are forever'. There's plenty online but below is a good overview: https://theeyeofjewelry.com/de-beers/de-beers-jewelry&#x

I remember as a child being interested in computers. I had watched hackers, the Matrix etc and was just drawn to that world. And of course the people I hung around with too were like minded. As an adult I find it strange how nontechnical so

I unplugged the Alexa for about 6 months, that was a good reset, and we have a few tablets etc but no nonsense apps installed. Although time is ticking and I be we'll soon have the influence from 'peer pressure' - we're

I've just dawned on me how strange the phrase 'see out of them' is in the context of an eye... you don't see out of them you sense light coming into them bouncing off the cones.

This is great, I looked into doing something similar when my daughter was little. I didn't get very far and she learned how to use the remote control pretty quickly. I honestly think it was better for her to do it the 'old' w

Nice. But... this reminds me of an issue many years ago when i worked in a design agency. A client's marketing manager had been sent printed samples with spot colours for sign off. She was complaining about the colours not being correc

Sorry I wasn't clear, I had meant clever in the same way you had outlined. To explain my epaper comment, I've seen several small keyrings and phonecase-type epaper screens start appearing. You could combine a small lenticular scre

Very clever idea. I wonder if instead of a printed sheet if you could combine it with an e-paper display with an interlaced image and then you could load different image sequences...

As someone who's role involves some elements of image editing, Adobe's GenAI feature is a welcome tool... however, as someone who's read 1984 and is concerned about the future tidal wave of scams, I'm not so keen on ever

From reading above, I assume they are referring to the software company hosting the data for the herd in the cloud which then has a reliance on networking, which then requires a recurring fee to access. In reality a local version on a stand

Depending on the company, if they are relatively large employer their recruitment system may be a limiting factor. The other issue might be budget, again if the company is large budgets may be aligned to a spec or team location or hub. At t

Spare a thought for the gullible, children and teens, the elderly, those with restrained understanding, and those with English as a second language. They will all lose money, time and more with the coming wave of spam and fraud.

Time is the real issue. I'm in the UK and I'm at a point in life where I've got too many family orientated tasks. If I'm heading to the cinema it will be with family for a PG film (very few seem interesting to my child)

The real issue here is a lack of proper risk controls around business processes involving money. Regardless of if it’s £3 for a coffee or £25m for a Secret acquisition there should be an agreed process that everyone involved in business tra

I agree with the above comment, I think your friend went to a Steiner school not a Montessori.

My daughter went to a Montessori rather than a standard nursery. From a young age she has always been alert and curious. We also noticed she would listen intently to instruction, understand it and then apply it so we thought a Montessori mi
