I believe you need enough advance warning and it's actually quite _simple_ as far as these things go. Always surprised how little science there is in this stuff, both detection and diversion it is a real existential threat to humanity

This is horrendous. I really don't see how everyone involved in creating products like this love with themselves. Hiding behind "non-lethal” completely ignores the permanent damage done. I wouldn't be surprised if that was in

Their exchange rates are terrible deals and blatantly taking advantage of people who only see the upfront fee and don't think further than that. Get the feeling they'd have no problem making money with zero fees but that would sud

I realize that and even gave it a try long ago, the comment was meant in general. Besides ublock origin and noscript I avoid extensions like the plague. Autoupdates mean that any malicious actor could infect many before it gets pulled.

Arguing the semantics is a moot point in this instance. Bitcoin was once transferring about $5bn on-chain daily and hovers over $1bn today. By comparison Western Union moves $80bn in one year. The original comment was unequivocally wrong. P

Not one of those sources in the Wikipedia article had any evidence other than news articles about one UN committee member saying she saw evidence of it being 1 million people in camps. Not firsthand, just reports. Every other article on the

Funny it took them so long to do so given the huge bankrolls behind these companies and that none of the tech is new whatsoever. Good on them for changing their ingrained oil economy mindsets though. I'm sure it was entirely a moral ch

It doesn't necessarily have to be enacted in other 5 eyes countries. The specific wording of the law said they can enlist citizens to put in backdoors at the request of other Governments. Even more absurd is that it also mentions this

Netguard is an equivalent Android app, it is open source and available on fdroid / play store. The fdroid version has to match the source. I'm not sure how play store builds work.

My mid-range apartment has a gym, it's 30 seconds away from the front door and I shower at home without fear of foot fungus. I still don't exercise anywhere near as much as I should. Perhaps the tyranny of distance is the myth?
