I guess I'm even more unusual in travelling entirely without a phone. Can't be bothered as the advantages are insignificant to me. I love the feeling of being "untethered". Isn't that what holidays are for?

The law is the law: You cannot contract with another party to "allow" either one of you to break the law.

I'll guess that Zuckerberg's definition of "private" is not at all the same as yours or mine. Personally I'd define "private messaging" to mean a way of talking with other people (via tech, obvs) such that

Since this game is long-since "out of print", what are the chances of MS releasing the source? Are there any groups/orgs doing that sort of advocacy and outreach?

Personally I read messages, keep them only long enough to take action (when that's necessary) and then delete them. I don't want my brain cluttered by dozens/hundreds/thousands of ancient, no-longer-relevant messages. Fu

They can, but it's self-limiting in that all you're really doing is supplying an evolutionary pressure that results in UV-tolerant fungi/pathogens. I once toured a (large) malting works where the soak-tanks are bathed in UV

The fact that there are a great number of people not on Facebook whose online identity is just fine is ample refutation of this absurd claim. And Facebook login being "necessary"?... Never used it. Never will.

Personally I'm aware of three that I'd count as good use-cases. Only one of those is a cryptocurrency.

Libra was never interesting. A centralised fiat currency run by arguably one of the most unethical, unscrupulous, invasive surveillance capitalists in the world was never going to be interesting, at least not in any technical or socially us

The world needs a form of money that is not under the control of any one sovereign power or group of sovereigns. Understanding this may necessitate reading some books, but in short, sovereigns have historically proven to be untrustworthy, s

One of the strangest open questions about Tomatoes is: How did indigenous people in Mesoamerica look at a small, green, somewhat poisonous and awful-tasting berry and think, "I'll bet I could make something of this if I give it a

Around here the van is more likely to be a taxi than any car. So,... no. The cultural bias is nauseating. I've never yet managed to identify a crosswalk. I frequently fail at busses. All this click-click-click on items mysterious is ju
