I sometimes wonder the firm defintion(s) of 'public social media' If you post a blog on blogspot or similar it seems the point is to be public. (there could be settings there to make some things non public, I don't remember o

I remember a post on HN years ago where someone posted a thing that told us all sorts of stuff about our current browser, I think it even included if your computer was on a desk or moving / shaking, I really want to re-find that. I kno

With food trucks I've learned that rules, regulations, construction costs may be bigger factors. In most cases if you attach 50 grand worth of stuff to a building and can't pay your rent one month you may be legally required to le

Didn't they turn this on by default? If websites owners truly wanted it, it would be a 'do thing to opt in' and everyone would rush to that. Now I do think this kind of thing is good for many reasons, but I also see many reas
