You missed the point. Even if Signal doesn't do the typical cryptocurrency scam behaviour, I now somehow need to try to explain to people why it is different to every other thing in the space that does act like that. On the face of it,

Moxie Marlinspike is listed as an advisor of MobileCoin, so there's some obvious financial connections between the two.

Signal needs to be reliable, safe and have a low barrier of entry to achieve its goals of allowing widespread private communication. I thought that when I recommended that my peer group use it (at this point, all of my normal contacts use i

How much did MobileCoin pay for inclusion in Signal?

Yeah, I was asked to remove my NOISH N95 and put on a surgical mask. How about no?

The website of Mullvad itself has essentially no identifying information, and that's fine and perfectly reasonable, it's just got to be part of your threat model of using the thing. Mozilla whitelabeling the service and giving it

"Being its own software" is sort of meaningless. It's Mozilla white labeling an anonymous VPN service (ie, we don't know who runs it).

Why would you control for something that has no impact?

I found Apple to be super fantastic as long as you don't get them to go off script, and then their support is useless. If you have a problem that fits into the general concerns like shipping, returns, repairs? It's a really great

Really? A 1080 TI still produces a few dollars a day easily.

It's also notable that CO2 sensors utterly suck, none of the consumer ones do absolute measurement, they assume a baseline and calibrate their output to that.

Well exactly. As a system for preventing sybil attacks this doesn't do anything.

I doubt it? 150TB of NVMe storage is big, but I've walked past racks with many orders of magnitude more in it. (edit: units)

They aren't the only no-cost distributor, their downtime doesn't really matter so long as it's less than a month long. What exactly is the issue with centralization here?

Definitely need to make a betting site based on the death date of google products. I wager 18 months.

I was pretty taken aback by that, they go way further than disappointing about not having the game on their platform of choice, to just outright yelling at the developer for somehow this being their fault?

I’d love my inexplicably banned ebay account back, or at least have an explanation rather than “there is no appealing this ban”.
