“Do I really need to wear a mask forever in a hospital or doctor's office?!?” is the new...

“Do I really have to wear a seatbelt for every car trip, no matter how short?”

“Do I really have to stop smoking in my own office at work?!?”

“Do I really have to stop drinking the water from the Broad Street pump?”

explaining to a large corporate client that while technically yes it is possible build a thing that sends spoof email as basically any address a person could type into a form, no it is not a good idea and if it were my sender reputation on the line I would absolutely not (and also your messages will probably all go to spam)

The more I learn about Elon Musk, the more I think he’s exactly the kind of entrepreneur that laws and regulations are there to protect us from.

Here is how to distinguish Elon Musk’s new X.com from 1994 computer strategy gaming classic XCOM: one involves a brave struggle against freakish, hideous alien intelligence seeking to undermine world civilization with advanced technology and the other is a computer game
