  • Bluetooth beacons are what you call these. There’s a few different app-based solutions, all of them proprietary as far as I’m aware, that connect to their brand of beacon regardless of its owner in order to update its position on the map. I feel like this should be possible to do in some way in an open manner, but I’d also be concerned about the security implications behind something like this. I wouldn’t want everyone to see where all of my most irreplaceable items are, after all.

    UK had those laws, but Rupert Murdoch had lunch with Margaret Thatcher right before he purchased the Times of London, giving him a 40% market share in news media in the country. You wanna take a guess on whether those laws were enforced after their little meeting?

    Reminds me of the ridiculous advice I’ve heard from my parents of just showing up to pester the boss at the job you want until they hire you. It may have worked before the days of LinkedIn and Indeed, but these days the people picking out application candidates almost always have nothing to do with the position they’re hiring for.
