Strange take ... I seem to remember websites having a lot of point before google.

> I took the speakers into my local forest, cranked both to 11, slapped on some dark berghain techno What a horrible thing to do, hopefully there was nobody else in range to have t…

Short comment to say I appreciate the thoughtful response here, and that implications of public vs private blockchains in real world contexts is something I've not given enough tho…

I don't hate blockchain - the technology - it's really interesting. Something I dislike though is that so many conversations that enquire roughly 'why not use a more traditional te…

Good attempt at a deflection, I won't casually solve the very thing that is a great example of blockchain being a solution looking for a problem. But, given the 'real world' contex…

You've set yourself up for a question: Please give an example, with a deeper-lever perspective, of a real-world use-case for (non-crypto) blockchain that isn't better solved with n…

What air quality sensor are you using?

I really enjoyed the presentation, for the first dozen slides ... but wow did reading one short sentence at a time get tired after that.

[video - poor audio] maybe edit: That comment was snide, my heart goes out to the OVH team, the message within the video was good, forthright & honest. I hope it will be well recei…

I suspect the multitude of little plastic catches, clips, switches, levers etc that everything contains now are the major source of appliances being junked.

That was a hypothetical problem, as per that link

Average speed camera zones are the only speed control device that works (for many via congestion rather than willful compliance I suspect), unfortunately it also encourages tailgat…

They absolutely are, but I think that link demonstrates the difference I was poorly describing quite well actually, the front page was diverse then too - by design - but how many o…

The barrier to entry for brigading & group think is lower on reddit than discrete forums, I think that's part of the problem & I've no idea what the solution is. Different moderati…

Yes, i lurked for a while but signed up in 2007

Reddit before user-moderated subreddits was far more pleasant, not that they're exactly at fault but they widened the audience just like eternal september & signal:noise, or signal…

'No Intrusive interstitials' - I hope this factor carries increasing weight, many websites are pretty horrible experiences on first visit nowdays.

I'll have a read, thanks. I've been trying to lower my HR when steady-state jogging also & variability came up a lot in my light reading on techniques for doing that also, but the …

The ones I remember most were for stammering/stuttering. It was a mix of breathing from the bottom of your chest, strong posture with shoulders up & a little back, not forcing your…

I spent 36hrs in hospital after an asthma attack last year (3 days in a super dusty environment), it was noticed then but not to the full extent - I think after normalising the ast…

As a life long asthmatic who had a serious stutter as a child I've been practicing controlled breathing for as long as I can remember. Recently I've taken an interest in fitness (a…

This is a shame, I had many years of fantastic experiences with them (running 100's of machines) up till about 2010 when I left a role & have been using AWS since.

Imagine doing that on a busy public highway for a wired.com article ... 'we did it in a safe way' They had no control over the cars behind, anything could have happened. Their atta…

It seemed to struggle after a video call for me. I tried to persevere & took to restarting the native app after every call for a bit, however on Linux you can't screen-share a sing…
