Hmm, no. I'm primarily interested in obfuscating easy-to-acquire identification. I'm not interested in avoiding law enforcement. But, if you are a citizen in a country that would employ law enforcement against you due to your mino

Great question! I've heard that in-person cash exchange is your best bet, if you're wanting to be completely off the grid. There are services out there that can help with the exchange (early in Bitcoin, there was an escrow service

It's just unfortunate that companies are employing precog future-crime concepts to what (should) be standard privacy approaches. And, to be clear, I'm not acting like someone I'm not. I'm forthcoming that I have an ide

Passport, maybe? You have to present a photo that's extremely similar for facial detection algorithms to train identifying you in the future.

Ooof, yeah. I was trying to make a new, purely anonymized identity. Went through an anonymized bitcoin VPN with TOR on top. Registered an email through Protonmail. Pretty much no social media platform will accept Protonmail as an address wi

Lost both my parents over the years. For my mom I sunk all available income paying for in-home care. For my dad I... couldn't, so we had to go the purposeful route. Condolences on the financial stresses, it truly is a burden that arriv

Is it coffee? Or is it caffeine (i.e. tea, etc.)? I consume around 500-1000mg of caffeine a day (very carefully timed so as not to get jitters). I can't handle a higher dose of Adderall XR, so I've embraced my higher caffeine inta

I find this to be true. I sleep in 90-minute sleep cycles. I time my morning alarm thus (adding 10-15 minutes for initial spindown). When I wake up, even if it's 4.5hrs, my brain is typically going a mile-a-minute. There's so much

I do find it curious that the body seems to need to sleep longer after long bouts of insomnia (or a week of 18hr work days). I think the hypothesis "You need an extra hour of sleep for every hour missed" is disproven, but the body

This is fascinating! Back in 2015, I'd architected and deployed a system for a AAA game that handled 24B events/day on launch without breaking a sweat, and supported 200ms round-trip ingestion-to-aggregation SLAs with no windowing

You addressed the first question, but I popped in to bring up this neat video I came across a few years back regarding the second question. How about this guy, who "built a like-new (but really refurbished) iPhone 6S 16GB entirely from

I wanted to spin up a hardening service back in the mid-90s, based around what we knew of Tempest. I even named it Echelon Consulting (as in "upper echelon," but with a nod to ECHELON). My spouse wouldn't let me, they felt it

I'm still annoyed at the ruling against mp3.com. They created a hash of the physical CD-ROM, and if it matched one that was already in their cloud they wouldn't actually rip the contents for your own personal copy of the exact s

Say, one thing that I really appreciate from Spotify is the weekly playlist. I love discovering music, and it usually has a few songs I end up liking. Does foobar have a module that does recommendations? Or is there a community aggregation-

Hmmmmm In all seriousness, this is rather interesting. Fungus can cause chronic nasal irritation. Nasal nitric oxide (a naturally-generated fungicide) increases 15- to 20-fold by humming compared with quiet exhalation. It's a small d

Just a thought: Could be your window was doublepane for insulation? The airgap would probably act as a buffer. Regardless, awesome story. I'm glad you found an engineering passion, and kudos to your dad for letting you run with it! :)
