As a tech nerd dad of three kids and having been in tech for 30 years this story touched me. Thanks for sharing, I feel your grief as if I were the father looking back. I love my children but they've all sort of gone various direction

My ex-wife of 21 years passed recently and we've been going through the remains of a life. She was a programmer at Rockwell working on Shuttle Systems when I met her. We married and had three beautiful children. Over the years techn

Sometimes when I rent a car I'll poke around in the navi and sync menus. I often can see where people went in the car before from the nav history and you'd be surprised how many people sync their address book with a rental car!

The first 100ms to 160ms of the Yahoo call is RTB[1] delay. I don't see how HTTP/2 will fix that. Also notice all the various analytics beacons that will still be third party in the future. I know many people hate this stuff bu

with all the discussion about privacy it's interesting to see the things that OS companies are embedding in their next generation releases.. Is anyone auditing Win8? (Win10 or whatever is next)?

Reminds me of KA9Q.. I wonder how many old systems from the '80s could find new life in all these quests for IOT on small MCU's?

I also noticed in the video that they had hearing protection but it was on the ground next to the fire extinguisher. Reading the very nice detailed instruction manual[1]: To the avoid hearing damage, always use hearing protection when

Does it worry anyone that he looses this thing in the clouds on a regular basis? Seems irresponsible to fly it on a day where you can't keep it in view. With this much speed it's basically a flying remote controlled rocket/p

Just checked my Verizon 4G LTE MiFi and the headers are not there, I've not done anything special to my account settings. On ATT I see the X-Acr thing but not clear if it's UID like or not in nature, would need to see more of them

Yes it's disturbing, again I'm no mind reader, but I guess they assume when you opt-out they just don't map your UID. Meanwhile you're still trackable and just one small data point could be used to reverse everything yo

This has been going on for ages, not sure why people just now noticed it. They were testing it last year, you could clearly see these headers on a large percentage of traffic coming from their gateways. I'm not expressing an opinion on

Seems like a construed attempt to make JSON easier for "humans" (whatever those are) but in general JSON isn't something my mom worries about. I'm not sure why something like a simplified YAML couldn't be used for

I still have my original copy of Zaks' book in my collection. I obtained it in 1981 from a friend. I did so much z80 assembly on the TRS-80 that I could "see" instructions in a hex dump before asking zbug to disassemble the
