I used to have a philosophy of, "what happens if my kid screws up worse than me?" What world would they find themselves in? I don't smoke regularly, but if my kids did, could they get a healthier alternative? What if they fe

I wonder, just speaking blindly, how many emerging artists were able to utilize blockchain technologies to reach a market they wouldn't have. I never took part in the NFT wave. It was, of course, a tulip bubble, it married high-tech a

S&L, FDIC, 10k, subprime lending, etc. I don't see why all countries would outlaw "crypto". I hate that term for it's semantic shift, but that kind of rebellious tribalism fueled this drum beat. Each class of cryptoc

Cryptoanarchism seems to be a deliberately designed red herring in this article (or socially agreed upon warning). It doesn't escape the main thesis, that computers are physical devices that rely on rules. It's refreshing. I&#x27

I wonder if diff is considered a "reverse engineering tool" I wonder if User-Agent "spoofing" is a "work around". That's what they do, you focus on one level, the magicians use misdirection. "We'

It's great that your co-habitant was able to open a bank account. Given fees, including credit union (low) minimums or activity rules, it's risky with an unsteady income stream. To spend time worrying about this is time that will

I've been stuck in Egg Hell for years, and old cookbooks and Good Eats (which is so great and engaging on so many other topics). And it was the Internet that just now added more votes for pre-boil and peel-ability. Cool Internet, Cool.

Loved Sierra growing up. Of course, on reflection that California 70s hot tub startup culture with Atari and what not was probably a hotbed of sexual harassment. Damn shame. I'm not saying the Sierra crew was like that. I just felt

I like the cut of your jib, 8-bit man. The VICE integration with DAP sounds like a great and fun project to introduce people to the world of embedded development. Cool work.

I think we'd do well to provide the option to use open protocols when possible. Of course, the PR copy just writes itself, doesn't it? AD administrators, Apple and Google, banks and everyone else can benefit from context
