The dark web is a good thing – it's a good utility. Whether someone uses it for a good thing or a bad thing, it's up to the individual, but I'm glad that an investment was made to come up with a more secure, privacy-focused p

Yes, I'm aware of that. However, I need to go through a mutual fund and rely on their stock picking strategy and fees (we've had mutual funds default very recently). I want to enter into a position in a specific stock according to

You must live in a developed nation. I'm from one of the tier-2 cities in India. I cannot hold stable, diversified collection of global currencies in my bank account and cannot invest in global markets without going to a branch in a bi

If the standard tech stack at your organisation includes Python, there's no reason why you shouldn't write CLI tools in Python. Packaging and distribution is only a problem for organisations that do not usually deal with Python.

This is precisely why I moved to the Samsung S10e after being a Nexus range user for years. I'm still unsure what my next phone will be: I'm _very_ tempted to go with a Unihertz, but realistically, it will probably be an iPhone Mi

Tropic Thunder (which would be nearly impossible to make today).

Yeah, this was surprising to me too. Maybe I've just never worked in organisations big enough where you can sneak off to rewrite services using a surprise programming language without any discussion about it.

I'm pro-crypto, pro-NFTs, just not pro the current popular use trend of NFTs. I'm sure we'll see much more interesting use cases for NFTs emerge over time, and I'm excited about that.

I have an old grand-fathered-in Pinboard account, but I couldn't deal with the constant issues so I'm happily paying for https://larder.io/ now – powered by a small, independent business, but the product actually

Lastpass actually has emergency access contacts you can setup without having to share your master password.

Heh, I've lived through this exact scenario. In my defence, I did not think I would need a jacket on a sunny day in May in San Francisco.

This is infuriating :( Hope you weather the storm and end up in a better spot soon. But, this is one of my concerns too. I equate money with time and if, as a law-abiding citizen, I work diligently for a couple of decades and pay my taxes,

I'm not at Stripe but would be keen to work on this as a side-project. Would you be willing to be user #1? If so, please ping me (email in profile). Thanks!

I agree there have been improvements in the right direction, but if you were in Snowden's shoes, would you be satisfied with these improvements compared to the sacrifices you've made and continue to make? Why did he have to throw

This is what is so interesting about it to me. If I were Snowden, I would have been suicidal or at least extremely depressed seeing how I basically threw away my life without the public caring at all (were there any long term changes? Does

Thanks for this write-up! It's very inspiring, especially to those of us who are considering writing their own technical book. Would you mind doing another post-mortem but with sales figures (total revenue, hourly rate, etc.) and marke
