3dk··on DRM Is Toxic to Culture
A good example of this is the Denuvo DRM for games. As I understand it, game data was temporarily decrypted, while playing which led to poor performance. Denuvo games were cracked and the pirate versions performed better. Developers paid a lot for Denuvo DRM which didn't even fulfill the promise of stopping piracy.

3dk··on Facebook is the new Excel
Excellent comment. IRC and Craigslist are examples of something "old as country roads" on the internet.
3dk··on Why Don't People Manage Debt Better?
Agreed. Public schooling in most places completely fails at teaching the general population how to plan for their future and learn basic financial responsibility. A first step would be to show students what sort of options will be available to them and what consequences of each option could entail.
