I don't think it helps that Blackrock and Vanguard seem to have taken it upon themselves to buy huge amounts of family houses at up to 30% markup. If there was ever a time you'd th…

I always wonder with these sorts of things, is it the person who is 'wrong' or it the society? Perhaps the society has too narrow a definition of 'normal', or perhaps the society w…

We should sue the government for all the bad designs that they have forced on us for so many years. Without holding historical errors to account, we are bound to repeat well-meanin…

Shh! You realise downvotes are a big deal for managing information on certain sites that we frequent...

Yes - there should be designs for cars, washing machines, simple engines, all made from fairly generic, common and standardised components. But this will never - NEVER - happen. Fo…

Well, this news is no good! The great barrier reef needs to die to provide justification for all the climate change stuff!

I just don't see how a cell is similar to an insect.

I don't understand the emotion, or even the idea that I have to feel something about cars or roads. What is it to do with me, why should I care? Its not as if I can do anything abo…

"Our revealed preference seems to be that we'd rather have homeless people live in tents than have poor people get free or nearly free housing." Well, I'm sick of your preferences;…

UBI is such blatant bribery by the existing governance structures, in order to ensure conformity to their ever increasing dictats. I don't see how anyone things this action is a go…

No. Blackrock and Vanguard are.

"Pegasus takes advantage of so-called zero-day vulnerabilities of software running on mobile phones, meaning built-in flaws that not even developers and manufacturers are aware of.…

No one has 'the truth', it's just not that sort of thing. Everyone has opinions. Some opinions are lies. Transparency is the way to deal with the lies. But if you're the one lying …

"Few pause to think that their phones can be transformed into surveillance devices, with someone thousands of miles away silently extracting their messages, photos and location, ac…

You can't blame them! What seem like valid differences of opinion are political, national security threats, etc. Intolerance abounds. But please - that 'storming of the US Capitol'…

My thinking exactly! Do not extend trust - extend the attempt to try to verify, if you think the matter is important. On living with uncertainty - this seems to be our major strugg…

There are bad things all over the world, deaths, crashes, collapses, etc. But what does that have to do with technologists working hard to eliminate freedoms and privacy, not just …

I'm totally fine personally with other people doing what they want to do. Buy a phone knowing you are being spied on. But do you forget that we did not know we were being spied on.…

These are great questions. I am absolutely on the path to self-liberation - the policeman in my head is gone. Its been a work of years. Why do you say wild animal? Are you a wild a…

Isn't it amazing how easily people are controlled? Why force people to do something, when you can actually make money off whatever slave device or process you've got. This comes do…

Thank you Mr Health and Safety!

Well, don't stop investigating then, its your USP :)

Is it not possible to talk about election fraud? I believe that this really has happened historically. I would be fine to agree with you if you have proven that there is not electi…

Many dark pattern designers, would claim 'bad design' as the excuse. Its hard to read intent, and hard not to suspect malicious intent when there is a cash value on the upside of t…

Not doors, but there are many anti-patterns are intentional - they are there by design! Eg, "Accept All" cookies - always there. "Reject All"? No. Click preferences, scroll to the …
