The tech world is coming to a critical point in its evolution. A majority of the top digital destinations are imposing vast amounts of censorship to the content flowing through them. Much of it is invisible,

Attached is an article which is spot on correct about PGP. I really like PGP as a security solution. It is also the gold standard for digital signatures. The vulnerabilities that have been posted are more

Interesting comments by Kim Dotcom about bitcoin that I happen to agree with. If something was wrong with the bitcoin protocol, it have been found by now. The only known vulnerabilities require one to

Can you make an amazing Crypto ATM? Now is the time. Do it! I would love to see innovation in this market. Been traveling Europe for months now and my Bitcoin ATM experiences have varied over time. Some

Stories like this scare me. Making tech site liable for content means all of these sites would be required to police all content. This is just a continuation of the death of the free web. Discussion forum

Yup. I think they partially are. The naysayers can say what they want :-) this animal can literally modify its own genetic code on the fly. A large amount of its genetic code is different than any other

Rare US independence declaration found in UK archive. Always fun to see pieces of history being uncovered. [1]

Now this is crazy. The EU may be on track to banning funny pics. That’s it - that would end the internet. Now we may have the funny police. In clown cars. Enforcing seriousness across all digital borders.

I left Facebook last year for good reason. They have anti-privacy policies. It keeps getting worse as more and more things come to light. Now their app is asking for super user access to your mobile device?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 that goes into affect tomorrow has some pretty cool provisions. I really like the right to be forgotten. Today, once an online entity gathers

This seems like a pretty neat idea! I like the governance model too. Only issue I see here is the initial cost factor is quite high. I am curious what would happen with a collection of less expensive,

I made a decision to quit using Google a few months ago. It is taking a while, since I have been using google since 2000 or so, after getting an early gmail invite. Unfortunately, more and more discouraging

It seems mankind had been held back in a way. Much of the reason for this has been the roadblocks put into place to stop the flow of ideas. One of the primary problems is the US Patent system. First of

Fun content to think about. Human brains sure are interesting tech! [1]

Totally agree with Hawking here. Quite an interesting read... [1] [2] [3]

I cannot believe this topic is back. It has been proven many times that encryption backdoors cause more trouble than its worth. Plus, weakening encryption just puts companies that have to adhere to these

Did another advanced species exist on Earth before humans? Yup, I would say so. [1]
