Unrelated to this current focus on the weakness of using a phone number as a contact reference, I have experienced a different problem. If a user has ever used Signal previously and for whatever reason revert back to SMS, if another user se

This begs a question: what technologies are inhibited by a looser definition of slavery? What inventions would arise if a global minimum wage was enforced?

A merger can eat that soul in the same fashion. Such as Boeing effectively becoming McDonnell Douglas.

I don't recognize this company anymore. What a gibberish announcement. Their game engine is hardly discussed. Apparently the future is ads on mobile apps.

As a hobbyist musician I'm bemused by the stickiness of the concept of a DAW. There are so many all-in-one devices that meet the definition of each letter in the acronym. But DAW is a proxy for something else, vaguely more professional

kottke heavily shaped my thinking during peak RSS years. I miss it. social media taints the deep reflective thought he's fostered for over 20 years. I wish him bountiful inspiration on this journey.
