These kinds of things have been going on for years, and yet the U.S. government, for one, just reduced privacy protections for consumers. True. I have higher hopes for the EU

It is these kind of "behind your back" shenanigans that will quickly force governments to move to regulating the industry, giving rise to a whinging chorus of "leave us alone" from the industry. An industry that has show

Since becoming an entrepreneur, I have never had a "vacation" - Sure, I went to different places, but always with laptop and a bag full of assorted devices in tow. I was thinking of going back to a "regular job" for a wh

Indeed. I find that the vast majority of the time, their UX actually gets in the way of the power and configurability. Moreover, many things are overly complex, in the sense that you don't get anything back for the complexity introduce

Yep. Before I got into technology, I was a lighting designer, and still dabble on and off. Producing a safe, quality, decent-sized event is hard and it is even harder to do so profitably. Every now and again someone asks me to be part of

...the US will allow central banks to repatriate as much gold from New York as is absolutely necessary to allow them to have half of their gold at home.... What the actual fuck? Why do we need permission from the US to have our own gold?
