Let's say you're charged. They seize your phone and pull photographs, text messages, messenger logs, maps data, etc. The messages are inculpatory. What do you want to say? That the…

The absence of real applications incorporating this stuff is damning. Where are the killer apps?

After visiting Venice a week ago I say do whatever it takes! Save the city! It's a floating wonderland, even though its a bit stinky.

People already have unhealthy parasocial relationships with influencers. It seems clear that people (lonely/depressed people especially) will overdose on this sort of thing once it…

Maybe it's like SHA256. You change a single pixel in an image, for example, and you get a completely different result.

Amazon's support likely comes because they've identified an opportunity to profit from distribution. Just another chapter of hypocrisy in the history of drug dealing. Great news th…
