Its uncontrollability makes it as much of a blessing as a curse in a way not dissimilar to ADHD's hyperfocus phenomenon. Memories are the brain's interpretation of reality and therefore not always reliable, the ability cannot be s

What we call pests often fulfil such important roles in nature that we'd be hopelessly effed without them. They only become a problem when they decide to come and live in our homes, eat from our food, and lay eggs in our beds. So since

Must have missed that, thanks. I'm not entirely up to date on this initiative. Just to be clear I'm not opposed to WebAuthn, I've just gotten very weary of these big corporations - especially when they are banding together an

One aspect that concerns me even more is the profiling and labeling of individuals. I have a friend who is - as he puts it himself - "even beyond the [autism] spectrum". He recently showed me how often he's falsely accused on
