Just dropping a comment to say congrats for getting something up and running and that it's nice to see somebody doing something for the elderly and those less technically proficient. Here in the UK the same problems exist regarding gen

The 'tailored music' scenario suggested in this paper doesn't require any kind of NFT, let alone an 'iNFT'. If ever there was a solution looking for a problem, this is it.

This is great and all, but the merge process is still messy as hell

Very timely post for me - as this is exactly what I'm trying to achieve at my own place :P I've forwarded it to several people to help bolster my argument, so thanks!

We also scrutinise every aspect of how we work; it doesn't mean that there's a viable remote-only replacement for everything a team might need to do. Your anecdote is not data - it's just an anecdote.

I think it largely depends on what the work actually involves. For me - I personally don't like working from home. I need the separation between my place of work and my place of rest, but I fully appreciat that this is my own persona

The 'bare minimum to not get fired' is the expectation of any job. If the employer wants to increase the expectations levelled on employees, then they should write it into their contracts. No contract? No expectations. You can&#

I recently set up NextCloud on a Raspberry Pi and found the process a little more convoluted than I would have liked - but that was mostly because the linuxserver.io image for MariaDB seemed to have some problems during database initialisat

If banks simply refused to implement stupid and ineffective rules, no government is going to shut them down.

Nice organisational simplicity would be to simply not have any special rules for the unvaccinated in the first place

It's not black and white; a lost year of education is a terrible thing on its own in terms of future prospects - but kids need to be around their peers for reasons that go beyond academic success. Lengthy periods of isolation are norma

I don't think a cover letter is necessary - but being able to demonstrate that you can write thoughtfully and clearly is always going to be a plus imo, whatever the job entails. There are very few roles in which decent communication sk

Politics aside, I wonder how this will impact China's game industry in 15-20 years? Though I do think game addiction (particular in the era of microtransactions etc) is something which we should be wary of and try to assist people with

I've experienced this before; my recommendation would be to pitch an alternative tool to the PM based on how that tool would make the PM's job easier / more effective . It's probably true that almost anything would be b

I'm not aware of any actual data on this, but it seems to me that those who choose not to be vaccinated are probably also very unlikely to be tested on any regular basis (if at all), and also (at least in the UK, where I am) not engage

Whilst I don't think there's any particular problem with building tech to help the government / military run simulations etc; I do think it should be made clear to employees what their work will be used for; especially if the

I'd argue that a 'strict lockdown' is, in itself, rather draconian. Almost by definition, it requires heavy policing of an individual's life and almost total surveillance of their movements. If by 'strict lockdown&#

Perhaps you should - if we all did, we'd reduce the spread massively.

The more I learn about what's been done to this poor woman, the more disgusted I become; time and time again it appears that people have exploited her and made her life hell for personal gain.

Nature abhors two things that humans adore: straight lines, and walls. All kinds of innovative solutions to contain ecological damage have come and gone, and will continue to come and go - but there's no working around nature. Everythi

First: Check your contract. Many companies include clauses about owning work you do whilst employed by the company , not simply work you do in relation to your employment at the company, or on company time . Whether that's enforceabl

I think those fears are entirely understandable - but this is the system working as intended. The problem is not that social media is allowed to do what it does (i.e. give everyone a platform); the problem is that capital has warped the pub

I haven't downvoted you - and there's no spin. Just because people with vested interests in destroying journalism keep saying that journalists talking with your political opponents is some sign of underhanded activity, it doesn&

I don't see any problem whatsoever with a journalistic organisation approaching potential sources, no. How else do you imagine this works?

This is called 'cultivating sources', not 'collusion'. In any case, the conversations led to nothing. WL wanted info and data - which is their trade, and to boost the reach and impact of their publications; again, comple

Well exactly - this is the problem. When reporting documented, verifiable evidence is treated as 'political activism by journalists', everyone should be worried.

Assange is on record dismissing both candidates in the 2016 election as terrible choices, and the DNC / Clinton documents WL released also included oppo-research on Trump. Wikileaks publications preceding and during the 2016 campaigns

Good on your brother - hope it helps after his release. It'd probably be an interesting read if you helped him set up a blog about his self-education whilst incarcerated!
