Do your Human Design profile and see how much it fits. Our society expects everyone to be a Generator (in HD terms) - all people who are not then feel like they're totally weird. I…

Same here. I had a conversation with friends who said, language influences thinking. I said, no, I have thoughts, and I communicate them with language but the thoughts are not lang…

It's about control - Huawei was taking over too much tech for the deep state's taste. Deep state is bugging American devices so they have a very good reason to believe the other si…

Yes. I love AirBnB and the service it offers. I just like to make fun of the app now and then, because it is overhyped and relatively poor at doing its job. But yeah it could be wo…

For family trips it is unbeatable. Big drama and big $$$ to book 2 connecting rooms in a normal hotel, and the experience is much worse than just getting a nice apartment with kitc…

In the UX community it is indeed very funny to see AirBNB talk so much about their amazing UX, yet the app is very hard to use compared to something ugly and simple like booking.co…

Booking.com has been working amazing for me. For single room, 1-2 people, it's been flawless over probably 100 bookings or more over the last few years. Short term I always use boo…

The opposite - I was watching MKBHDs review of the solar roof - he was charging his Tesla model S ... using only the roof for 11 months out of 12! That means - total energy indepen…

Yeah - there are many use cases still where EVs are way worse or even totally inadequate. Yours is one. Cold countries is another (sorry Canadians... don't buy Teslas just yet...).…

It's a new level. Kia, Hyundai (same company I think) are well situated. As are BMW, Mercedes, and obviously Tesla. But... Toyota? Nowhere to be seen, has some also-ran EVs in prod…

The better tech always wins in the end. It's a no-brainer. The problem with resistance of the existing auto industry is that if everyone buys EVs the big American carmakers go out …

This is a massive discovery! It's hard to even imagine the multitude of applications of this.

Fall guy took the hit. That had always been plan B.

The only reason for the GDPR is to get more government control on your daily interactions. People are out of their mind to think that governments are working to "protect" them - he…

Alexa... well you paid for this device to spy on you so that definitely should not surprise anyone. I think it's bizarre that people are not only OK with having their house bugged …

My hypothesis is a lot simpler: Hacking is much more profitable than preventing hacking. Incentives are heavily biased towards security exploits on all levels. End of story. There'…

Reading the OA, I also believe that there's a wide variety of technical detail that could be the cause of, say, not responding. Maybe the reports get to the tech teams, the tech te…

Accurate - Engineering at Apple has no tradition of security; nor does it have a tradition of being very efficient. It's mostly based on heroics of some very few very talented deve…

100% - they got away with it because they were small. Hacking Mac OS was unattractive - whereas, hacking iOS is the most attractive target. High gain, low security. Apple does not …

You're underestimating the problem here. For those of us who have awakened to the fact that mainstream media is a giant shitshow that is literally used to brainwash the masses into…

R.I.P. Medium. It was good to know you. If there isn't a blockchain based censorship-proof publishing platform soon, I will work on one. Promise.

You could also say they have enabled the rise of Baidu and with it a Google clone that is completely under the control of the Chinese government. I do respect Google for pulling ou…

They're working on it...
