Welcome to the natural consequence of social networks becoming important to just do daily business. The phone companies, and other utilities, operate under strict rules. I do wonder how many and type of companies will become internet util

We bought refurb HP and Lenovo laptops for less than $400. >$900 for student laptops is a big no-go. I guess if you were a bigger University, but I cannot see it for the average school.

Using a group's service so you don't suffer from the actions of that group? I've heard that pitch before. Francis Ford Coppola made some movies about one of those groups.

I'm actually surprised there doesn't seem to be a Minneapolis/ St. Paul MN contingent. The Twin Cities had a lot of interest groups in the 90's.

In The Design and Evolution of C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup there is some interesting discussion on alternate declaration syntax that was rejected because it wasn't compatible with C. The book also explains a lot of design decisions that

More in the way of a specific law. I don't think a full Sec 230 repeal is a good idea. I really, really want services to have to specify what you did wrong, and you should have some actual options to deal with these services. They h

I sometimes wonder what would happen (it won't) if some fed-up Congressperson drafted a bill that would allow folks to sue Facebook, etc. for libel when it accused you of being a ped0, criminal, or other malcontent. Perhaps they would

Pretty pedestrian given the others, but I'm trying to build a file server setup that makes it easy to roll back from a ransomware (encryption) attack. I starting to think that going with hourly syncs from the home directory with some

In the US, I fully expect the whole "green bubble" thing to escalate into something tragic for some high school students. I didn't think much of it until I saw the bullying and dropping of people because they wanted "th

I still want to see Congress pass a law requiring any internet company that accepts money or fees from you that bans you, must give the exact reason, evidence, and where on your contract / ToS you violated. Frankly, at a certain size

What does it mean to layoff through an, "Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression lens"? Some woke CEO and HR, have come to the belief that they don't have to know anything about the person, their character, value to the company, o

If a more qualified person is fired over someone else because of race, then he has not only failed the company but told other employees their talent and skills are a secondary consideration. Their pain is not lessened by the color of their

A lot of colleges have Older Than Average programs. They not only are accelerated ways to get your degree, but meet at night to make them easier to continue your career. I've had a couple of relatives go this route. They tend to hav

Probably due to load, most of the big news sites wouldn't load. I ended up going to BBC.com to find out how bad it was. I heard about it from a very confused DJ on a radio station on my way to work.
