Most people in the West now buy things with credit cards and constantly use their phone. These are absolutely not identity providers, but they provide far more tracking in day-to-day life than an ID card would, with none of the actual benef

ORMs and query builders can also constrain the implementation from a performance and flexibility perspective though. Your anecdote and reflections are all absolutely true in my experience, but I've found just as many problems with off-

This, absolutely. There are already many people today who cannot tell the difference in realities, and likely many people who think they can but only succeed some of the time. It's so pervasive that soon it will become the 'only&#

That's a good compromise, until you consider stalkers and/or Scientologists.

It's also important to put as much thought into any synthetic key. It's easy to just use an auto-generated sequence... but then you start having to export/import or otherwise merge data, and other manipulations that often u

Employee 'rights' are often much stronger outside the USA and so whilst you potentially pay more, you can 'downscale' much quicker as well. Look where most of the tech layoffs happen.

Nobody really knows what public sentiment is in the UK, because nobody is asking. They're all just telling the people what they 'want'. The sample sizes for any polls are tiny, and the areas/people that are sampled are n

What does it offer over Mastodon, and following hashtags as topics ?

So brains are required for multi-modality, but not actual 'intelligence' ? (Herein everyone screams at my misuse of terms and tells me I'm wrong - which at least should help explain things)

I sense this may be the new AI benchmark soon. I'm not saying at all this is AI (although at least some pictures may well be), but I can imagine youtube being filled with AI-generated content in a similar fashion going forward. Questio

script-kiddies, state actors, misconfigured botnets... Motivation can often be like why everything is re-written: "Because we can" or just "Because it's there". I'm not in the circle of these things, but histor

There seems to be no mention of cost/pricing anywhere. Perhaps it's visible once signed up, as I presume it's not free if it's making money.

No remote is seriously disappointing, though not surprising considering JRM. London-only says everything.

An armed population would not improve the UK government in any way. I would even suggest that despite the USA having guns, their government is just as bad. I'm not sure that plans to develop a new airport runway would be 'stopped&

Personally, I think this is where Patreon (and similar) shine. Allows 'true fans' to support directly with a much smaller cut than traditional distribution/publishing mechanisms, whilst also not requiring long-term subscripti

Really hoping this isn't a book telling you how to make money by self-publishing, or similar. Self-publishing as discussed elsewhere, is certainly the way to go, otherwise those profits would have gone to the publishers.
