People You May Know

I've long been super unsettled by the amount of data that exists about us, but have also said that I don't think it's possible to be invisible in the modern day and age (at least not without an undue amount of effort that exceeds the burden I would be willing to contemplate). This blog was…

Intelligent newspaper paywall

I've never been a conscious reader of the Globe and Mail. Obviously nothing against a major Canadian publication, just never been part of my news diet.
