Thanks so much for sharing your perspective. You've put words to some half-formed thoughts I've been having since a recently failed relationship. Live and learn

BTC can be used in electronic black markets - not many currencies can be used for that, and that fact gives BTC huge value to many people. It is analogous to how USD is the only cu…

I don't necessarily disagree with you that there are problems with the DOM API. However, would you rather that higher level APIs were designed by standards committees, or would you…

I don't think I can buy the victim-blaming argument. Is a woman who is born into a culture with female genital mutilation, or forced arranged marriage "cooperating in their own opp…

The endless tiny bars, restaurants, shops in Japanese cities made me realise how vibrant huge cities can be. I wish my city Melbourne was more like that. For sure in the case of Ja…
