Sounds a lot like what Joel Spolsky was advocating for since 2003, although now it’s easier since most people already have a private office, just not in “the office”.

Newspaper: Hackers are announcing a trove of personal data leaked from [company] after a forwarded spreadsheet inadvertently contained more data than the sender realised.

Change SSH to only allow certificates not passwords.

just turn off the display of page edges in Inkscape?

For example you could do website hosting? Set up limits for each customer directory, configure PHP and Apache and sell space + bandwidth packages.

The price per month got pretty high recently, and it might be interesting to position a company as “for the long term” (the big providers all hide their true monthly cost behind an introductory period, so you would have to swap every 2 years to get the best price)

Standardized open format for documents might have been the only ISO meeting where people were protesting in the streets - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardization_of_Office_Open_XML

So now ISO officially has two standard formats for the exact same thing!

Avoid using sudo and setuid by writing your own sudo program using setuid?

Create github project, write markdown documents as readme.md?

WikiData is a database-oriented version of Wikipedia intended for categorising relations between concepts.

For example, Google (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q95) is “owned by” XXVI Holdings (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q100292691) since 2017.

XXVI Holdings similarly shows that it is owned by Alphabet Inc (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q20800404), which is owned by a list of people and entities with various different voting rights.

There is also the “Parent Organisation” relation (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P749) which links Google to Alphabet directly.

These should all be computer-readable.

Google account settings page - the one listing 3rd party services - that page’s ‘…’ button has an option to disable allowing other websites to use Google authentication.

It was a staple of Asimov’s books that while trying to predict decisions of the robot brain, nobody in that world ever understood how they fundamentally worked.

He said that while the first few generations were programmed by humans, everything since that was programmed by the previous generation of programs.

This leads us to Asimov’s world in which nobody is even remotely capable of creating programs that violate the assumptions built into the first iteration of these systems - are we at that point now?

Sounds a bit like what Tor browser bundle does - they try to make all the browsers look the same to websites, so for example the website won’t know your language preferences or screen size.

Embedded RFID? How is it like living with one of those in you? Deviant talks about how convenient they can be for cloning things like your hotel room key.

if the system is even remotely competent

…

At least he’s not holding it by the top of the screen like Black Hat Guy.
