duijf··on Tell-all telephone – Six months of phone metadata visualized
The purpose of the web-page is to illustrate how much information you can get about a person with just meta-data.

The law should be a reflection of our morals, not the other way around. That would be a recipe for disaster.

duijf··on Spotify and Facebook: Is that phishing?
To be honest, that looks like it has a some drawbacks when used with different domains that use the same authentication backend.

Think Google's different domains (google.com, google.co.uk, google.nl, gmail.com etc.) The demo gives a different hashed password whenever the TLD differs. And seeing that Google by default redirects you to the homepage of whatever country you're in at the moment, you might end up getting burned by the extension when travelling.

duijf··on Goodbye Jody. You Really Were Awesome
It is written for Jody Sherman though, not for an audience.

I personally never heard of him, but I appreciated the writing anyway. It is a beautiful piece.

duijf··on Fact-checkers: Talking crap in Holland v America
Your guess is correct. It is very common for us to have a coalition of three or more parties. Although the current coalition is one of two parties.

This was the result of so-called strategic voters. Left-wing voters people feared that the VVD (the liberals) would become the largest party and voted for the PvdA (labour party) en masse.

Interestingly this resulted in even more right wing voters voting for the VVD, instead of a smaller party. Right now we are stuck with two titans&mdash;that also happen to have opposing views.

Fortunately both parties were able to form a coalition. Albeit with the necessary financial consequences. The labour party let the VVD cut mercilessly on government expenses, although it pretty much decided who should get hit the most; the higher incomes.
